Alright, go for it. Pull the trigger. I was in the „She should run for senate against Schumer“ camp, but if she is going to enter the presidential race as a front runner, I am on board.

AOC leading the Democratic ticket in 2028 is the best way to ensure that MAGA has a life beyond Trump. Do those of you celebrating this – do you ever get outside of the Progressive bubble?
OdinsLightning on
Please No. I like AOC. But we need a slam dunk. America is racist and misogynistic. Its sad but true.

I know she’d do a great job, but she can have a much better long term impact on progress in the country by waiting. The presidency has historically been the capstone and end of a political career. If she won two terms she’d be done at 46. Thats easily 30 years short of what it could be. That’s a long time to watch from the sidelines and be followed by secret service for the rest of your life.

I love her and think she would make a great president but she would 100% lose a general election. Too many racist, sexist people. She is hated by MAGA and disliked by too many independent. Fox News has done an excellent job of vilifying her. It’s sad but true.

This poll is an outlier. While I hope she runs and I would probably vote for her, all other polls have her in a distant third or fourth place.

This feels too hopeful like Bernie, and will probably be rejected but I’ve been saying for about 6 years at least, AOC 2028

That’s not the position she’s best for, she needs to kick Schumer out and freaking lead the Senate. That’s where she can still stay like she is and not have to run to the middle for votes like every presidential candidate has to.

She has zero chance of winning the presidency in America’s current form. If she were the Dem nominee I would of course vote for her, but running a young, progressive Latina woman will fail spectacularly when factoring in voting demographics. Obviously, she wouldn’t get any Republican votes. She would very clearly split moderate/independents, and would lose some who lean left but are convinced by the mainstream media that she is too radical. And then, she’d also probably lose some neoliberals who don’t think a woman should be president, especially a minority woman, in the same way that many of them failed to turn out for Harris in 2024. With America’s current voting demographics, running AOC would be an unmitigated disaster and those who might push her to the nomination will deserve the loss in 2028.
She should stay focused on congressional politics for now. She can definitely unseat Schumer in the Senate.
Dry-University797 on
I’d vote for her in a heartbeat.
TheOtherUprising on
In my opinion she should run for senate. She could use more time to hone her messaging for a national campaign and the Democrats desperately need better leadership in the Senate.
rikaateabug on
I’ll support whatever she does, but I’m not excited to watch *another* incredibly capable woman lose to the worst possible option because of her gender…
Please AOC, run for senate and let’s get Schumer the fuck outta here instead 🙏

The state of the USA a Latina is NOT winning a general election. We have a racism and misogyny epidemic.

Whatever campaign she chooses I will support her
misguded on
I am for most of the things she stands for, but this seems to be a great way to lose an election that republicans are practically handing you. Trump still has his base. To win, you need the people in the center. She’ll scare them towards Trump.

She would probably make a fine president but this country isn’t ready to elect a woman.

Hate to break it to Reddit but America is not electing a woman to the presidency
ParasolGentleman on
Are Democrats really looking to fuck this up AGAIN?
How many Americans need to tell you they’re not ready for and do not want a woman president before you democrats believe them?
VividLifeToday on
She should run for Schumer’s seat. Her time may come, but not now.

Gotta love how many people preemptively go „She’ll lose, a woman can’t win. We have to vote the blandest, least exciting, most corporate compromised candidate possible. Blah blah“
The fuck is the point of primaries people? How are we ever suppose to make any progress with that kind of loser attitude? People are suppose to vote their heart in the primaries, fall in line *after*. The strongest candidate will make it through. Maybe that’s AOC, maybe it’s not. We won’t know who is until then.
TheFishFromUnderTheC on
I’d vote for her. To build up hype around her campaign she could do another US tour with Bernie. Mamdani on the tour would help, but I think he’d want to stay in NYC.
MarxistMan13 on
She’s the only candidate that gives me hope for the future. There’s others I’d happily vote for, like Buttigieg or Walz, but none I’d be *excited* to vote for like AOC.
She’s the only candidate other than Bernie who would actually fight for the change we need.
HatefulDan on
If not her, they better find a Populist-type candidate before the next election because their advisories sure are looking for their version of one.
I’ve now listened enough to their channels to feel which way the wind is blowing.
If they trot out—again— some established member of the old guard, they ‘may’ win. But it’ll be 4 and out.
Whoever takes office will need to have an appetite for dramatic shifts and changes in how things work.
Timely_Estate9782 on
Setting personal political preferences aside, this would be a terrible strategic move. Independents would be very wary of voting from her.
Mark Kelly is the most electable Democrat out there. He has a backbone, is a former Navy pilot (with combat experience) and astronaut, and isn’t branded a communist. It’s time to make it happen.

Yea. Obviously that’s a great idea. Worked so well in 2016 and 2024.
Fucking morons.

Redditors are going to quickly find out running a small new york district is mutiple levels removed from the political acumen to run for president, senate, governor, or even mayor.
I mean at the end of the day we’re talking about a relatively small time politician whose political career so far amounts to managing a 10 mile stretch of land. I’m not even saying i disagree with AOC’s views or policy decisions, just that reddit is far overblowing the popularity of one of the 400 members of the house who hasn’t even run a state wide position, let alone an even smaller role like a mayor of a major city.
AlarmingCloud3187 on
The public wouldn’t vote for the vice president because she was a woman and because of her voice/laugh. AOC is less electable than Harris. I like AOC a ton but remember this is an echo chamber and not reality. Reality is fuckin grim.
