The Left can’t sit out the 2028 Democratic primary. If AOC chooses not to run for president, Eric Blanc argues that socialists should run a working-class candidate — even an unknown one — who can inject anti-billionaire politics into the race.
Look at her rolling back pledges and word salad. Half the time I don’t even know what she’s talking about. She claims she’s progressive but still supports ‘defensive weapons’ for Israel. She claims to be anti-establishment despite being the establishment. She would fold and bend the knee under pressure. I don’t understand why don’t people demand better. Her and Sanders had a chance to prove voters but they keep being a disappointment because they’re not brave enough to stand up to Jeffries and the rest. They claim they’re different because that sounds good and it’s what people want to hear. Those are just words, though. They show with their actions that they would just continue with business as usual. I wish she would be it, but I’m afraid she’s just another disappointment. Somebody fresh and bold who is not afraid to stand up to bullies is desperately needed.
