They will destroy her, she’s worse than Bernie because she’s not in her 80s, so they will sabotage her in every way possible. It’s almost as if their entire scam depends on it keeping people like her out of office. They will at least be sure to keep her out of any leadership role.
I’d love to be wrong, as an Independent I will vote for her over any other person serving in office now. At least she’s held an actual job.
The Democratic party is a private institution and won’t be swayed by anything as silly as votes.
It isn’t because she isn’t in her 80s, it’s because she poses the mildest possible threat to entrenched ruling class interests who own and control the entire media landscape, from CBS to CNN to Twitter to TikTok.
The wealthy ruling class would rather move towards fascism than socialism because fascism benefits the ruling class and socialism is a step towards dismantling the ruling class.
I am so tired of elections being between corporations and oligarchs. Its not better just because it has a PR campaign behind it for a board rather than an individual who is wealthy. It only ever works for the wealthy.
They’ll play nice and keep it on the down low and then pull some Obaman, secret, backroom Super-Tuesday fuckery to steal the momentum and likely nomination from SandersAOC and give it to a center-right, corporatist shill like Buttgiggle or Shamala.
Yeah, just let him be VP for as long as he is useful. If hr wants, I’d vote. But better someone else like AOC who can look out for the present and future of our country. There have to be others like Bernie who can do good for us and not start wars.
i dont care about his age, but his position on Palestine has always been weak and shameful. im not an AOC head, but im hoping for her at this point too.
We are still a FPtP system, you don’t get to write off the majority, if you want to gain political power through elections. Right+Center > 50% of electorate.
Taking resources away from “bad” organizations, and using them for the socialist project is a good thing. The trick is not given them (as much) value in return.
Yeah, there has to be someone out there who is presidential grade and not a total asshole or a party bitch. You know like “we’ll raise your taxes to build schools, but we’ll raise them triple to billionaires” vs “what schools? You look Hispanic we’ll send you to Honduras but after a 3 year sentence”.
If she throws her hat into the ring I fully expect the DNC to sabotage her at every opportunity.

Let’s just hope the primaries are definitively clear…

SandersAOC and give it to a center-right, corporatist shill like Buttgiggle or Shamala.One party state where everyone has to get through the republican primaries? Big problem!
Two party state where everyone reasonable has to get through democratic primaries? Totally cool, totally legal.
Super excited to watch the blue conservatives show us how to really get that incremental change when there is a one party system. Ready to take notes!
I’m not sure I understand, are you in favor of one party states, or opposed to them?
Jefferies will never recover from the AIPAC Shakur nickname. Absolutely wrecked him.
Meanwhile, we all want AOC and Bernie. If Bernie wants to VP, I’m all in.
He’s too old.

He can be in the cabinet, but he’s too old to even be the VP.

I’d also vote for Bernie (VP or Pres.), still. But, I think there are younger progressives that could fill the role quite well.
I’d even take someone more centrist for the VP role, since that might make it easier for them to attract (Super)PAC monies.
In this moment, any candidate who receives super PAC funding from corporations or Israel is a bad candidate.
Centrism is dead. The right is dying. This is a time for moving towards socialism.
