[Official] Ocasio-Cortez for President 2028 thread

If she runs she will just suck up all the attention from the GOP during the primary to pave the way for the eventual actual nominee.

So, to that end, she'd be very useful for the Democrats.

 

that would be Donald Trump, no?

judge him by his actions, as POTUS,

• buying part of intc
• ordering Walmart not to raise prices despite tariffs
• ordering Amazon not to disclose tariffs info
• obtaining "golden shares" to US Steel

​

 

Ocasio Cortez will be a strong candidate. All 10 or 12 Dem candidates will sound like Bernie Sanders during the debates, but she will have the history to show she means it. It will be almost humorous to see Kamala and the corporate Dems ranting so unconvincingly like Sanders. Bernie would be the over whelming front runner, but he is too old. AOC can win, especially next time after the DP unites to beat her and put in another cautious big donor approved moderate (albeit with Sanders type rhetoric). who disappoints everyone but the donors. Perhaps another loss will be enough to cause the DP to shift to real FDR reforms for the economic benefit of the lower 80%.

Polls have shown from at least since the photogenic cautious moderate black guy Obama won that percentage of Americans want a big change. 15% of the Trump supporter voted for Obama once or twice and they thought this was a daring move to help with their declining finances , only to find it was largely more of the same. OK Obama was better than Trump. Ok his one big accomplishment the ACA was better than no reform at all of the horrible profit based healthcare system.

 

This is the type of candidate that scares the hell out of independent voters -- they run away from her policy ideas... and for good reason... as AOC's policies, like those of Sanders or Mamdani, simply do not work, and have failed track records everywhere they have been implemented.

If AOC is the Presidential candidate, it will damage the Democrat brand for decades. And Republicans would enjoy a landslide electoral college win (again). It's simple -- she is not a credible leader. If you were forming a business, planning an expedition, or even deciding who will run your school board or community group... and if a group of even 100 people were gathered, she would never be chosen among them to lead... and this matters. When people are in the voting booth, they want a LEADER. AOC is not a leader. You must ask yourself: What self-respecting man would follow her leadership? Very few.


GOOD DAY

 

And they have been proven wrong by Trump's success in office.

But the critics were wrong to begin with though, as Trump led large business organizations for decades. Also with success in TV and entertainment. He had a very solid track record of leadership -- among the highest of any historical President (with some exceptions like George Washington, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Grant). Trump had as much executive leadership experience as anyone in history pre-election.


GOOD DAY

 

We agree, but there is a slight possibility she can win. The desire for real reform for the majority is growing and may become more reasonable than the absurd false hope of crazy man Trump. She has that "it" factor as shown by the righties obsessive fear of her from when she first won.

 

@Salvy
She’s going to force Latinos to be called LatinX

She can win big and she will win big, and quite frankly you will all be very happy for it.

 

Her policies .... what does she stand on?


Illegal immigrants.
Criminals
DEI
Anti-Gun.
Green new deal
Trans the kids .... LGBTQ


I thought we rejected that shiit in the last election?

 

She stands on illegal immigrants, criminals and trans kids?

Your hero

 

No these are the issues Trump focuses and fear mongered into believing it was a problem.

You need to stop believing lies by your base and actually do the research.
