AOC [doesn’t] posts worst result in NY-14 in 25 years

Socialism will got obsolete I'm the future Bernie and Warren won't be picked for Cabinet and they are likely to retire and AOC is not likely to challenge Schumer, do AOC will be alone and she may or may not stay in her seat

Yeah socialism, which has survived non-stop assault from capital for 150 years and still only grown in popularity, is "obsolete" lol.

Mind you, this year AOC, Omar, and Tlaib's GOP opponents raised big bucks, and as such probably were able to move the needle in their direction through sheer propaganda alone. In AOC's district, I would imagine the PBA's antics alone probably moved a significant number of low-info, easily scared Democrats. This will be a persistent problem for a few more cycles, until their views, yes democratic socialist views, are normalized in the media, the Overton window moves, and they become less controversial. I think you'll already see that happen this year because Cori Bush is gonna get a lot of airtime, which will make Omar and AOC look moderate by comparison.

Anyway, I am still curious about the results of this election and the premise of this post. How badly did AOC underperform Biden? How much vote is still outstanding in the 14th?

Omar is undeniably toxic. She's definitely a unique case.

I mean duh, she's a Black hijabi immigrant and this is a racist, sexist, xenophobic, and Islamophobic country. It's very easy to fearmonger using her image.

Her race and religion are irrelevant to why she’s toxic. There are also numerous reasons to dislike her that have nothing to do with her identity.

This is why I can't take you people seriously. Just go to her Twitter and look at the comments underneath every single one of her posts. Look at the racist memes circulating about her in every corner of the internet.

Is it the *only* reason? No, and I didn't say that. But your inability to recognize that it impacts how she is perceived and represented in the media is the exact kind of knee-jerk defensiveness that makes me think it's probably the central issue most people have with her. Y'all doth protest too much

I wonder how many ppl in the district voted for both Trump and AOC. There are bound to be a few, and it would be v interesting to talk to them lol

Any thoughts, MacArthur?

Well, Google said that NY-14 numbers were 99% in when I made this thread, so I don't know why they were lying about that.

Regardless, just because she ended up not doing abysmally in her own district doesn't mean the rest of the country should take her advice about how to win elections.  It just takes away what would have been an amazing example of the extent to which her arrogance is laughably unwarranted.  There's still dozens of other examples.

Do you really tho? Besides Ilhan Omar and Kara Eastman? Cuz last I checked the rest of the swing district Dems who support M4A, e.g. Jared Golden, Josh Harder, Matt Cartwright, not only won but also outperformed Biden?
