We desperately need more young people running for all offices, local and national. If you are a young person stuck in a dead-end job, run for an office somewhere. You don't need anyone to back you. Just sign up and learn about the process by doing it.
If you don't ever win, it's a fun and interesting life experience to share with others. You will make new, life-long friends along the way and you will be showing others that it's possible.
If you DO win, though, there is no limit to the benefit you can bring to humanity! The world needs you. Do it! I will vote for you.
Correct and of course you have fake progressives here down voting and defending her trying to smell her farts as she gives them more of the same neoliberal bullshit putting them closer to poverty as the years go by
I wonder how far away we are from AOC being able to run for President, and have a possibility of actually winning.
2028?
2032?
Only when majority of the Boomers have died off? Or will Gen-X turn all grump and conservative in their old age and become the new Boomers once they've inherited all their Boomer parent's wealth?
I'd say she'd have a decent shot at 2028. It doesn't seem like there's a natural successor to Biden like Hillary was to Obama, so my prediction is that the primary is going to be wild
I feel like gen x is and always has been pretty apathetic, but the majority of us don’t have any great wealth to hoard like the boomers did/do. so, the likelihood of the bulk of us being highly conservative isn’t as high.
The propaganda and brain washing against self protection/functional government policies/unions/etc did do a good job with our generation though. There are still too many of us that will rail against any kind of help or protections or anything that would make life a little better/easier.
Idk. I could talk in circles with myself forever, apparently.
It depends on what party she runs as in my opinion. I could see her running in 2028 with the possibility of winning as a Democrat. I feel like America is a long way from electing a Progressive party member to the presidency though, and she is certainly a Progressive.
The Conservative/GOP party is a party in decline. They peaked probably 20 years ago and really only win national races now by gerrymandering and suppressing votes. There whole platform is really out of touch with the average American citizen and I don’t see them changing anytime soon from fear of losing their evangelical base. A base that is also in decline in America.
The Democrats would never allow her to win the primary, and she wouldn't win the election in her thirties even if they would. Old assholes running everything sucks, but I don't think the solution is to run thirty year olds.
