    AOC for President!

    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.

    Signed, An Old Person

      Have you seen what she has been voting for and the changes she went through in less than 4 years?

      She is closer to Nancy Pelosi than anyone the left should be going for, while also letting the Justice Dems. die out.

      She endorsed Biden the same day Biden agrees to send Cluster bombs to Ukraine…

      I don’t think the people see her the same way as we did in the start of her career as a politician.

      edit: fixed cluster bomb info

        Nancy Pelosi, one of the most effective and successful politicians in congress?

        That’s high praise

          We have different views, I was for the progressives, that was the only reason we wanted AOC.

          Now she is just another blue dog democrat.

        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?

    Full disclosure: I’m a Gen-X’er

      If she does run, I think it will be closer to how the Hillary Clinton election went.

      The left has had enough of AOC/Bernie, just looking at the endorsment of Biden with no leverage given, while also voting for more miliatary spending.

      The force the vote debacle that the REPUBLICANS ended up using for Kevin McCarthy…

      Medicare for All failures and so on…
