Ocasio-Cortez endorses Biden's reelection campaign, sending a strong signal of Democratic unity

Old man who vaguely agrees with my politics and is just mildly disappointing or a literal shit filled dumpster fire? Hmmm tough choice.

Like I get that is what we probably are getting, and fine, he is better than whatever the republicans are putting forward, so I'll vote for him.

But

Come on

I wish, so much, we had a better candidate

Well that’s unfortunate. Wish we could find someone other than an old fucking white guy to represent us.

She understands that we are under attack by a global RW fascist insurgency. Keeping the GOP out of the WH will save democracy in the US and around the world. Any GOP winner would stand back and allow the russian terrorists to take Ukraine and beyond.

Did anyone expect anything different? I don't recall incumbent presidents ever having a real primary.

Biden wasn't my first choice in 2020 and I really wish he was younger, but he has done extremely well as President so far. If he wins again and stays healthy, I have almost no concerns he will continue to get things done.

People don't understand the importance of this endorsement. AOC is considered as the next generation. Most 16-24 yr olds agree heavily with her and would identify closer to the left.

If Democrats play it smart, they could hold a majority for 10-20yrs. We are seeing swing states lean more blue than red ( Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Arizona, and Virginia). This is a huge problem for Republicans bc they always relied on these states to combat large democratic states.

The fact that the majority here is okay to settle with a mildly dissapointing 80 year old, just so the other "evil" side doesn't win is a bit disheartening for the state of US politics and democracy.

And this is comming from a politically shithole country I am born and living in.

Age notwithstanding, any incumbent president in the last 50 years would be absolutely overjoyed to run for re-election with Biden's record; tons of new blue-collar jobs, strong economy, relative lack of major fuck-ups or controversies or other drama except manufactured RW ragebait. Basically everything swing voters want and nothing they don't want.

Nor is there any real reason to fret about base turnout, given that liberals will view the Republican candidate winning as apocalyptic and show up simply to vote against that person, however disappointed they may be in Biden and whatever performative statements they make about their votes not being guaranteed.

Man, screw Biden. I would rather vote for AOC

"we're under a fascist insurgency and we must ensure that the GOP doesn't gain the White House, this is why we must vote for a politician who refuses to do anything to prevent this insurgency from gaining strength like expanding the court or making abortion available on federal land and who refused to use their constitutional authority to prevent giving the House GOP any concessions on the budget/debt ceiling"

wtf is happening. This is a - rep for AOC in my eyes. She realizes the fucker is real old right? Elect someone younger please.

Anything else would do nothing but make chaos, it's a really bad look if your own party doesn't back you anymore. Same with the VP, a president dropping their VP would also be a really bad look.

Cry all you want about "old white guy" but for this election he's the shoo-in. Yeah he's too old, I think so too, yeah I want a real progressive. But damn it all, he's done pretty great stuff and damn the democrats for not shouting about it more.

For a party to primary their own president, that would signal nothing but weakness.

I appreciate that we were on the precipice of fascism and still are scarily close to the edge, Biden was absolutely the right person and has done an ok job, all things considered. But he was past his prime in 2020 and he’s well past his prime in 2024. And Harris needs to get the boot too, she’s been absolutely worthless in a position that’s gotten more prominent these past two decades. If it’s Trump v Biden, I’ll absolutely vote Biden, but I’d vote for a rabid squirrel over Trump anytime, so that’s not saying much.

Well no shit, who else is she gonna support, the anti-vaxxer with a grudge against Fauci?

Isn't she eligible to run herself now? Things can absolutely get worse but can we try to have some imagination? Sigh

How is the best case scenario Joe Biden? ♫

They really gonna make me vote for Joe Biden ♫

Biden is pretty unambiguously awful, and only looks good against any Republican. AOC is doing the right thing here, but long-term we have got to get rid of these cobwebheaded oldsters and move on to the next generation, or the generation after.

When we do, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be a good choice.

Hes outlawed collective bargaining, put it into law that oil and gas must get more land than any renewable energy, accerating climate change with a trillion dollars for more roads and cars. Low wage earners? Never in American history have they been ignored for longer than under Biden. His promise to fix the flaw in the affordable care act that makes sure millions of the lowest earners specifically can recieve no medical coverage? Not even written into a bill to be considered in the first place. Inflation has ran ahead and left people like me behind, my life is worse now than when he first took office.

After voting against the railroad workers strike, I wouldn''t be surprised if this scab supports whoever's ghouliest democrat they could prop up.

He got more done than we thought. Way better than the last guy and that WMD degenerate.

Another disappointment from her after yesterdays simping for facebook

Barf

OK, cool, one problem. None of them should be elected. Not Biden, not Trump.

it's really funny how much progressives complain about biden's age when the guy they supported in the 2020 primary is a year older than him

Why doesn't AOC run? I'd vote for her. I've been impressed with her job so far

Embarrassing. "Socialist" my ass.

Been telling people she's about as fugazi as cubic zirconium in a Tiffany storefront; I don't know why people keep expecting anything resembling revolutionary intent or even as much as spine out of tHe SqUaD.

Damn, I really had hope for the Justice Dems, but this is just sadge.

Is she pulling an Elizabeth Warren and thinking this will help secure her a cabinet position?.. oof.

Lol

That's unfortunate. Biden's inaction is doing as much damage as the Rs.

For anyone who wasn’t previously convinced that AOC was a simple Dem operative rather than the socialist she was masquerading as, here you go. No serious socialist would back the reelection of an old white dinosaur who broke the rail strike’s back the way Biden did. The fact that DSA didn’t revoke her membership after that is a black mark on them as an organization.
