Once seen as an insurgent, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become a team player for the Democratic Party, Eric Garcia writes. Now, she wants to remake what that team looks like
I have seen them saying similar things. Not this exactly, but saying that AOC is a liberal because she won’t take the most extreme positions. Even if she believed in those positions, which I’m sure she does some of them, it’d be political suicide to stand that ground. They want politician-activists. Those jobs are practically mutually exclusive, but they’re too dumb to realize it. I can’t think of a single activist leader who was also an elected official.
Black men were allowed into our political environment 50 years before women. I’d like to think we’d have a woman elected president before 2058, but wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t happen. I think that’s a major reason Hilary lost, no one really expected trump to win in 2016.
It doesn’t contradict what I said. The majority of people back then thought a black man would never win rather than thinking it is harder. Since at least 1970 that was the dominent mentality that makes even people who really want to vote for a black man not voting for one.
You just need the right person in the right timing. Right now is the perfect time dissatisfaction for Trump and the republican party is huge. The wrong person is definitely Newsome
can’t wait for tankies to tell me how AOC would be worse on Palestine than 3rd term Trump.
She will not be worse than Biden for sure

Yeah man keep yelling at the void and wake me up when she wins the primary
Wake me up when she announces her Presidential run.
She isn’t an aipac recipient she is one of the few politicians not beholden to Israel
Cause she would never win in today’s climate. US is still too bigoted to elect a woman.
She could absolutely win. The problem is the Dems putting forth unpopular women.
The men aren’t always ideal…
Democrats have the same owners as republicans, but with rainbow flags. Newsom is their candidate
I don’t know… I think it’s more the coding than the reality.,
Hillary and Harris both tried being amicable and aspirational and appealing to people’s better instincts.
But most Americans don’t HAVE better instincts. So when AOC punches back and doesn’t take anybody’s crap, it’s gonna hit different.
People like you used to say a black president could never happen
