I want to see her take more media. I don’t think she’s as prepared many other potential candidates (Khanna is a good correllary). She’s been able to stick to very safe media spaces and that won’t fly in a campaign. Right now she’s the best option, but I’d rather see more competitive options to sharpen her. I’m also not super impressed with her last 2 years as a representative. She’s developing some… bad habits when it comes to triangulation.
I also think Platner could run. They take much harder media interviews. I think Khanna could run. I also think there are some potential candidates out of Minnesota, what with their ability to show leadership during the ICE campaign there, like Jacob Frey.
AOC has been a bit of a disappointment as she’s become more comfortable in her seat. I don’t really get the uncritical cheerleading,.although I have come to expect it. AOCs political instincts went from great in 2018 to very not good in the previous year, and instinct really matters. Her retreat from even safe media spaces also, pretty disappointing and it leaves her vulnerable in a general. Still great policies but seems to prefer communication via a panel or a from behind a microphone where she won’t have hard questions come at her. That won’t fly in a general.
I highly encourage you to go to her YouTube and watch her videos in Congress.
She’s incredibly informed, capable, and competent. She’s also confident and not afraid of confrontation.
As they say. “She brought receipts”.
Every time she questions someone she obviously did her homework.
She may have started low but she’s a very intelligent person who is motivated and has far surpassed most politicians on knowledge of the government systems. Knowledge on current happenings and relevant historical events to her talking points.
Unless you can actually engage with the points I’ve made there really isn’t a point in engaging with the cheer squad.
I know more than plenty about AOC, her public addresses, her interviews, what legislation she’s been on and what she hasn’t.
From 2018-2022, she was S tier. Now, she mid. At best. Ro Khanna far better than her at getting things done. Ilhan Omar doesn’t have to trace back her steps and retriangulate. I’m not judging AOC against anyone but her peer group and where she used to lead, she now follows. She’ll need to do better if she wants to be president and that’s just a fact.
The cheer squad down voting my critique in their emotional manner, it doesn’t change the issues I’ve identified.
