I mean, like I said Obama was fine. He listened, which is great. That’s why he was my example. He wasn’t perfect, but he was good enough for everyone. I am fine with that. But Clinton and Biden and Harris have all pushed back against progressives and embraced republican shit and like… no. We need to get better as a party, not worse. People won’t vote for shit democrats, but the DNC refuses to learn that, and will actively fight to keep money in politics, keep old centrists in power, and fight against progressives.
And uh, AoC is a fairly popular democratic figure that supports progressive ideals. She’s not perfect, but I mean, she’s decent. If the DNC doesn’t spend 5x the legal limit of donations fighting against her like they did Bernie with their “victory fund” (aka ensure a Clinton victory by breaking campaign finance laws fund) she would have a pretty good chance. But… I doubt the DNC learns their lesson… ever.
Oh we need a better party for sure. No question there. Like i said ideals are extremely removed from the two party system. I love AoC I hope we give her a fair shot. She's worked hard her whole career and if the firebrand we need. Honest and relatable.
Knowing all that you understand my worries about AoC and the median voter. The DNC would need to get behind her now and start branding hard for 4 years. There's a lot that goes into getting a mainstream candidate elected, and there's not much we can do to get some of less centrists re-branded in the face of fox news. I'm not sure the DNC can provide her with the support she needs to win an election, nor will they even endorse her for a senate seat. I would tho.
Ragging on the candidate that won the election is just illogical to me. Ragging on the party that can't develop young talent is all fair game. Im here for it.
Ehh just sounds like the excuses they always come up with on why oh no we caaaantttttttt. Fox News is gonna call literally every single democrat a fucking communist it literally doesn’t matter. Just run someone who progresses the party. Stop caring about republicans & Fox News, and start worrying about having a party people care about enough to get off their ass and vote.
I know, but i mean i hate to be the one to say it, but its not just fox news viewer. a large number of american voters are too biased for a POC woman. it needs to be addressed as well as what progressive platforms poll the best with the center. Ways to frame progressive goals that reach people etc. We can totally do it, but i dont see a clear path for AOC to a whitehouse victory in this climate. I'd support what ever we needed to get there, but i think its kinda ignorant to ignore. One thing hillary and kamala had in common besides being competent politicians, was being women.
