She’d get my vote.
Let’s pick a white guy and get it over with. It sucks, but that’s where this country still is. Stop pretending about it. Democracy and valid elections will be totally gone by then anyways, but.
The title is a bit misleading. It was the *interviewer* who asked if she’d make a formidable presidential candidate. Bernie said yes and then listed off the reasons why, he didn’t „float“ the idea, the interviewer did. That said, I agree with his answer and I’d definitely vote for her if she ran.
Would vote for AOC so quick. Dems desperately need the new gen. In fact we should probably stop calling it dems and something new at this point.
That’s what primaries are for. She is welcome to throw her hat in the ring, and if she wins the primary, I’ll vote for her in the general
For the love of god no. Haven’t we learned our lesson yet?
I love Bernie, and I love love love AOC, but America is not ready for her. We just had the easiest open book test in American history, and we all just completely failed because America couldn’t handle a brown lady with a funny laugh. I hate this timeline
I’d vote for her, but let’s be honest, how effective has she been as a politician? She was supposed to be the gap that bridged the Dems and the left, has she done that? Or every time that it’s mattered has she been whipped back into party line? Iron dome funding, for example. Her voting against it may not have changed the result, but it’s still symbolic of her unwillingness to go against the party when it matters most. And then consider her reputation at large, would most Americans vote for her, given that she has been painted as some crazy leftist since she started, despite, again, her record not being that? She’s left of the Dems, and again, I’d vote for her. But we need a robust primary contest to decide what’s going to happen. And in the meantime, we need to focus on gaining ground in local and special elections, not waxing poetic about what the Dems might do in 3 years.
We seriously need to stop conflating „electability“ with moderation. Obama was the progressive/exciting candidate – he won twice. Hillary was the moderate choice in 2016 – she lost. Biden was the moderate choice and won the 2020 EC by 70,000 of the 81 million votes cast. Had it not been for Trump’s massive mishandling of COVID he would’ve lost. Kamala ran as a centrist – she lost.
I hate to say this, and I would absolutely vote for AOC against any hint of maga, but the Dems need to run the whitest, straightest, protestantest, middle-of-the-road man they can find. We need to right the ship, not rick the boat.
I would have no problems with a female president, a gay president, a non-Christian president. I do have a problem with a thirty-four times convicted felon who has been adjudicated a sexual predator and who is currently aiming the greatest military force humankind has ever know against American citizens sitting as president.
Hard pass. but only because we need to win. Wish she could but she’s 100% gonna lose if she’s the nominee.
I like AOC, but I think she’d be better off going for Schumer’s senate seat in 2028, gaining a bit more experience there, and then running for president in the future after that
That idea has been tried twice. She’s a woman. Americans are not ready to elect a woman as President. That is the reality we live in.
I’d vote for her in a heartbeat and support her campaign any way I could, but I really hope she runs for a senate seat (and I really *really* hope Schumer fucking retires).
I want her to unseat Schumer in the Senate first
Yeah but see Americans hate women and will not vote for one. At least several million people would rather vote for an orange conman sex abuser than a woman.
No matter how good or qualified or well meaning they are, it won’t matter. We’ve seen it twice so far, losing to the biggest scumbag I think I’ve ever seen in my life.
It would be the biggest mistake in the history of the progressive caucus to run AOC in 2028 and anyone who thinks this is a good idea is huffing so much copium, it’s causing terminal brain damage. First, she’s a congresswoman, for starters, which means she has to run concurrently with her congressional re-election campaign. This is why **governors** and **senators** run for president, not house reps. Second, she’s a house rep from New York. It’s not even **legal** in her state for her to run for congress and the presidency concurrently. This means she has to surrender her seat to even run for president. So, if she loses, and she almost certainly would lose both the primary and general, her career in politics is **over** and the progressive caucus loses their most influential member.
Third, the DNC is not the RNC. It is a significantly less democratic organization, much more beholden to donors, and much less responsive to the interests of their constituents. Think about how MAGA and the Tea Party slapped around their representatives to get what they wanted and how little the Democrats fight for anything they run on. It’s always small, incremental victories, often only procedural. Biden gave up on any meaningful student loan forgiveness or protections the moment the courts said „no.“ Harris walked back 90% of her progressive platform the moment the primaries were over. AOC doesn’t have the interparty sway to make the DNC and their reps fulfill her agenda at the expense of the oligarchs that own them.
If AOC wants a path forward, she can run for Schumer’s seat. That’s where she can build real power and connections. Not YOLOing into POTUS.
The people are not going to elect a woman over an asshole. The ladies at 0 and 2 against this bullshit
Hell ya, 2028 save us from this hell
Hopefully trump doesn’t have a full blown coup and remove congress by then
I’d vote for her in the general but seeing her CNN town hall thing made me realize she doesn’t have the orator skills to win over the country easily.
It would be a very uphill battle.
Great cantadate for the Republicans. America doesn’t want a female president. Example 2016, 2024. Democrats might as well buy guns to shoot themselves in the foot.
Would she be great? Yes.. would she win… I have my doubts.
AOC is sharper than a tack. However, her beliefs aren’t mainstream.
Democrats would essentially be conceding the election to a 3rd Trump term. She does not have the goods to win an election.
I hate to say it, but we need another traditional centrist, neocon, 60yr old white dude.
Republicans can wipe the floor with AOC. She has a history of public statements that are only popular with the chronically online fringe left that gets votes only in reddit comments.
Lmao still haven’t learned from 2016 or 2024?
It honestly isn’t even surprising Trump is in office
She’d be destroyed.
I say this as someone who would 100% vote for her too.
That’s a great way to lose again.
