Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 2024 megathread

[Ancestral Republican]

Hot take: she actually can't afford to wait more than a few cycles if she wants to launch a presidential bid. She is the next HRC in that she is the long-term Republican public enemy no. 1 and that means that no matter how she might politically evolve, she is slowly going to grow increasingly toxic to the national electorate.

She's a hip/cool populist working class hero that's VERY in touch with the younger generations.

Doesn't sound "toxic" or like Hillary to me. Sounds more like Bernie.

Working class hero? Nah.

Get out of your neoliberal wine mom bubble lmao.

Get out of your Brooklyn hipster bubble lmao. AOC definitely does not play well in blue collar middle America. You can make a case for electing her but that's not it. Her biggest fans are very obviously professional/managerial class millenial urbanites--incidentally people like me.

You think it's tech bros? Definitely not. You obviously have no clue what her constituency is like. I'll grant you her supporters are younger but it's not the same demographic as say Yang's who would fit that description very aptly.

Also your use of the word hipster betrays how out of touch you are. Brooklyn has been essentially two groups of people, natives and tech bros, for the last 15 years. Income and wealth inequality has become so extreme, no wonder the DSA is growing every election by leaps and bounds.

If Democrats are stupid enough to nominate a Defund the Police, M4A, Green New Deal, Pack the Courts Socialist from the east coast, it will be my pleasure to back the Libertarian Nominee, or perhaps a Republican who demonstrates clear differences from Trump.

Bye, Felisha.

Defund the Police ads ran all over the country, and they worked across the country, as evidenced by the House election results. Heck, one of the victims is (likely) your friend Max Rose. These sorts of socialist policies are losing, not gaining votes.

Kendra Horn
Xochitl Torres-Small
Abby Finkenauer
Joe Cunningham
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell
Donna Shalala
Collin Peterson
Max Rose (likely)
Anthony Brindisi (likely)
Thomas Suozzi (possible)
Gil Cisneros (possible)
Harley Rouda (possible)
T.J. Cox (possible)

How many more victims must this socialist movement create before we realize that Dems are moving too far left and that sometimes, the base has to be told "NO"

My username is ironic. I hate Max Rose.

You sound like Abe Simpson yelling at clouds here, tbh. I'm more worried about human beings dying because they're murdered by cops and because they can't afford healthcare than I am about a few conservative Democrats losing because of policies they didn't even support. You need to follow the lead of swing district Representatives like Katie Porter who support single payer healthcare and aren't afraid to defend progressive policies and, oh yes, won reelection by 8 points in an R+3 district.
