And yet, she’ll never win a presidential election because she’s too polarizing. There’s literally no other way to win here if somebody else steps in. Sad that people try to do good in their job as a public representative for their people, and just fucking can’t.
Edit to say: don’t just take my word for it. Ask Bernie Sanders. Did he win the presidency at some point? I just must have…,…
And yet, she’ll never win a presidential election because she’s too polarizing
Imagine saying that after Obama flipped a bunch of red states and brought in a shit ton of down ballot races.
AOC is polarizing, but not as much as Obama and it’s easier the second time around.
Hell, no body even really mentioned Biden being Catholic in 1988. You should have seen the shit they said about JFK. And similar time-frames passed between.
And strictly police wise, the country is a lot more open to progressive policy than in 08, and again, everyone said Obama was too “polarizing” right up till election results.
I will vote for her so hard given the chance. Unfortunately, I’m still just one vote. I want to agree with you, but I’m not sure I can. I’d sure love to see her give it a real run, with a DNC that supporter her and didn’t drag her to the center or actively undercut her primary chances.
There be the facts, friend. It’s just how it works right now
What?
Literally what’s how what works?
Any time you figure out a better system you can get implemented, I’m all ears.
Fair and open primaries, mate.
I’ve been saying it since NH had their delegates stolen.
Well, this cycle, almost a decade now in total. This ain’t exactly a new problem, and it’s not like no one can think of a solution.
It’s just not easy beating corporate money in primaries until enough Dem voters demand the party sets higher standards. And most people only pay atteyonce every 4 years, then they’re too exhausted to care about politics.
They’d call trump Joseph Stalin if there was a D by his name.
It literally doesn’t matter how progressive a candidate we run, because they’ll say the same shit about anyone.
Moderates try to defend and talk about how conservative they really are. Alienating their voters. AOC would fucking own that shit and explain how it helps everyone.
What we’re doing isn’t working. And Biden himself keeps saying he’s powerless as president, so why not fucking try what worked for literal decades and there was no rational reason we ever stopped?
Repubs have spent decades feeding propaganda to their fear-addicted voting base. And they’re still squawking away with Fox and Sinclair. I’d love to see her run but I’m not certain it would be successful.
Because entrenched Democrats are under a ridiculous belief that everyone who isn’t voting for them is conservative. So if you spout “extreme” leftist ideals, you’re too scary to the people they are courting, which is conservative voters who aren’t Trumplicans.
IMHO, the only reason she’s “polarizing” is because the right has chosen to run a smear campaign on her. People like her are a threat to them. She’s young, smart, and charming. She’s like Obama once was, only she’s even younger than he was. She’s still a year too young to run.
the right has chosen to run a smear campaign on her
And they run smear campaigns on EVERYONE with a D in front of their name, regardless of how far to the left they actually are. Democrats are playing a losing game by worrying about how the Republican media are going to portray them.
Their screaming means nothing anymore. Conservative media will panic-attack absolutely anyone who runs against the GOP with the exact same extreme deception and conspiracy theories.
I really don’t think that’s true. People said the same with Obama, and he really never faced that in voters, the GOP was viciously attacking him and it never stuck. There is a stage big enough, that the most vicious attackers do get lost in the crowd.
Yup, never stuck. They won all the mid terms during his administration handily. Maintaining super majorities in Congress the whole time. Nope, they were never ever shellacked (Obamas phrasing) in the midterms over “obamacare”. No matter how you phrased it obamacare or ACA the publics approval was always the same they adored it right?

imagine fleeing an argument you’re wrong on this way 🤡
Damn, I didn’t know it was that easy to lose an argument. Bravo
She’s not polarising. The oligarchy controlled media that constantly paint her as some kind of radical are polarising.
She’s vilified on Fox News as a Boogeyman literally every night of the week. WTF are you even talking about?
Have you seen what they say about Joe Biden?
They’d call trump Joseph Stalin if there was a D by his name.

You will just be downvoted from here on out because of who you are. Get right with something.
Disgraceful
You’re not even trying at this point. Definitely lending yourself to be a troll more than a concerned citizen. Shame
Because they are afraid of her
I don’t think many fox viewers are voting for any Democrat.
Obama was that bogeyman from 2008 to 2016. Considering that he won two elections during that time, I don’t think Fox News is really relevant to AOC.
So? They aren’t going to vote for a Dem anyway.
But it’s a great excuse for shutting out progressives!
How come Trump gets to be as polarizing as he wants, but nobody to the left of McConnell can?

Just saying that she has extra appeal and potential, so that why she gets extra attention by the right wing media.

She’ll never make it through the primaries because she’s a progressive.
You must be quite young. Everything you are saying about AOC was said, word for word, for Obama. Obama still won.
Bernie would have won (according to polls) if the DNC hadn’t sabotaged him at every turn. Too polarizing? No, just too left for the Democrats.
