call me “lib” but I still really like AOC, shes one of the good ones.
Yeah that “what if activists aren’t PR firms for politicians” really does hit at Obama hard because that’s pretty much the tack he’s taking - that your activism is meaningless unless it turns into something useful for politicians to exploit.
The conservatives were right about one thing, Obama is an empty fucking suit.
Oh I’m very ready for Buttigieg to beat AOC in a rigged primary and get curbstomped by Tucker Carlson in the general. (Carlson beats Dan Crenshaw who is the party pick in this scenario).
I worked with her campaigns here in NYC. Not saying I know this for sure, but I would be 0% surprised if she challenges Schumer first. She’s a way more well known name despite Schumer being around for about 2 centuries and could, in my opinion, very easily make up her loses in ground upstate with how much she’d carry NYC
It’s why Schumer is pivoting left. Also talk of just giving her a Senate seat somehow to prevent a Centrist bigwig getting absolutely crushed in the Senate.
AOC definitely isn’t running for President until 2028, at the very least. I suspect she will go for Schumer’s seat in 2022, though. I think Schumer’s recent push for student loan forgiveness is evidence that he’s somewhat worried about this.
GET. HIS. ASS.
