Ocasio-Cortez, finished a close second behind only former Vice President Kamala Harris in one recent poll measuring how Democrats feel about 2028.

    A poll looking 3 years ahead is about as accurate as an astrological chart (and just to be clear, those are worthless).

    Is this wise? As an outside observer I had the impression that Harris lost in part because of systematic, subtle and overt racism and sexism. All this applies to AOC, too. Do the Democrats want to lose? Don’t they have some sort of JFK look-alike, people actually want to vote? It’s not as if appearance wasn’t way more important in the US than things like the actual political agenda.

    honest question: I am out of the loop. Why the sudden hate against kamala harris? I come from a country without a two party system, so we criticize everybody all the time.

    I’d vote for AOC over Kamala, 100%.

    I mean, I still voted for Kamala, but I wasn’t excited about it.

    As much as I love her, this country has shown time and time again it is unwilling to elect a woman president. It sucks, and I don’t like it, but the Dems need to run a dude.

    Edit: good job hivemind, proving you’re still alive and strong.

    If you think in terms of “lanes” AOC is the only left wing potential candidate on there, 21% support is actually not persuasive in her odds to actually be the candidate.

    I feel very good about her chances to run the Bernie playbook and end with a top 3 amount of delegates but in an actual primary the lanes would clear up as people drop out and it is hard to see her consolidating support from like, Gavin Newsome.

    Welcome to American politics, when the 2028 election begins in 2024 and the 2028 primary began in 2020.

    I’m so tired.

    1. Stop with this shit. It’s 2025. This is stupid.

    2. Women can’t be president in America. We have a shitty culture that prevents that from happening. We keep trying, we keep failing. If you want to win, find another candidate with a dick. That’s a requirement in America. Not saying I like it. Just saying that’s reality.
