    It’s worth watching the whole video, AOC is the type of politician that actually has a chance to have a party that represents the working class.

      I hope the Democrats can figure out before the last minute that she’s a really viable candidate for President.

        Most D’s are captured by most of the same corporations and oligarchs as the R’s. They will never allow a working class movement. Only corporate-whore lite.

          If so, they are in for hard wake-up call. Most corporations/oligarchs are rapidly shifting their allegiance to Trump. Those sweet donations will stop flowing to Dems.

        They know she’s popular enough to win a general election one day, just as they knew Bernie was. But the moderate crowd would rather lose with one of their own than win with a progressive

        My micropenis submarine has already banned AOC from X.com because I saved drowning underaged malaysian soccer players from the pedos in the so-called british special forces.

        No she’s not. She is a women and Americans well not vote for a woman for president. Sorry it is the truth and they have to stop doing that.

          Stop trying to play the gender card. We refuse to vote for a female president that legislates like a male neoliberal. They dont get preferential treatment because they are a woman.

          You’re asking for proof of billionaire political capture? How about superdelegates, or the billionaires on stage at the DNC, or the Democrats bending the knee to AIPAC by pushing out AOC?

      She’s in a tough spot because she dislikes a lot of what the Democratic party is doing and also refuses to even meet with lobbyists let alone take their money. To a ton of everyday people these are very good things but to either of the parties this is an enemy to the party that doesn’t have the firepower to win an election. Of course, I would absolutely love to be wrong on this but history (especially recently) is not on her side.

      She’s is a fucking sheepdog, that’s all she is. Giving disenfranchised voters the illusion that if they stick around long enough, they too can have a seat at their table. She’s a snake in the grass that cannot be trusted.

        With this attitude you must trust absolutely 0 politicians i guess? Where do you go from there?

          I’m with you. I mean I agree with their sentiment and I think AOC is the same as the rest. She is after all a part of the machine.

          That said, it’s worth distinguishing the difference between trust and hope. I always hope.

              Your question would be directed at yourself and others like you. I’m not the one confused about which direction to go. My direction has never involved the duopoly.

                No, it was directed at you for the sake of discussion, not confusion. But your holier than thou attitude prevents you from speaking with others properly.

                  If I am viewed as holier than thou because I refuse to support the systems of oppression while also having to fight shitlibs defending it, then so be it.

        Many citations needed. Or is all of that just your opinion provided without reasoning?

    Listen, they’re going to try to get that third term, but they’ll ultimately fail, and the only point of this presidency is to give Trump’s donors as much favour as he can, as the CIA collects dossiers on all of them so that Trump can retire as the new Epstein.

    Worst part about it? They’re going to fuck shit up and republicans will fit DECADES claim he was one of the best presidents ever.

    Alexa, remind me of this post in 10 years.
