      AOC is literally the only person on that list that even has a shot of winning in the general. Half those people are genocide supporters. If you think AOC has no shot at winning then you haven’t been paying attention to the massive left shift happening in this country.

      That shift isn’t even mainly happening among the loyal Democrat voters either. It’s happening among independent and non cult Republican voters.

      Woke 2.0 is spreading. The main opposition to leftist momentum in this country is literally the Democratic party. If it runs anyone to the right of AOC it will lose to the couch again.

        The main opposition to leftist momentum in this country is literally the Democratic party.

        And has been since 2008. Democrats don’t want to win if that means stepping left.

          They don’t like her. They wouldnt support mamdani.

          We need to get rid of the corrupt Dems. AOC is the right choice to help do that.

          What are the chances of the right having a scism and spoiling their own ballot (split MAGA and GOP)? If that were to look likely that would be the best time to have an independent progressive run. Would spoil the dems ballot too, but so long as we are stuck in the cycle of “I dont care who wins, so long as they lose” system, I dont see any way to break out of the two-party gridlock.
