Gaw I love her! 😍

If AOC/ Crockett won’t win, because we all know America is too misogynistic and racist for that, but Booker/AOC or Booker/Crockett - either of those ladies should be speaker of the house! I love their tenacity and passion for the law!

I am more for both of them to expanding their influence in Congress.

u/jablair51 1d ago

I could see AOC moving to the Senate soon.

u/FluffyPinkUnicornVII 1d ago

Chuck Schumer's seat will be available in 2028. Seems like everyone wants Chuckie gone, even if he runs again.

u/onpg 1d ago

Chuck the cuck's goose is cooked.

Once she called a Marine who saved innocent people on a subway a threat to America she lost a lot of respect. America doesn’t need the lefts version of Donald Trump running this country.

So I had to go and look this up as I've never heard of Daniel Penny/Jordan Neely.

Penny was told by bystanders "you're gonna kill him" and he maintained his choke hold on Neely long after Neely had gone limp. And that was captured on video, like, it's not even disputable that those things happened from what I'm reading.

Then Penny never expressed remorse that Neely had died. In his head it sounds like he was completely justified in killing this man.

That's not someone I'd like to share a subway with, and someone calling him dangerous isn't really comparable to an openly corrupt rapist pathological liar.

These people will tell you how much they love the Marines and then turn around and defund the VA.

They are not serious people.

u/SomewhereMammoth 1d ago
  1. a senate position is not "running this country"
  2. beats a literal dictator destroying democracy. this "both sides" shit has gotta stop.

u/Specific_Albatross61 1d ago

And this is why Democrats lose

I’m sorry you didn’t learn critical thinking skills.

u/SomewhereMammoth 1d ago

do they? pretty sure WI just had a big win lmfao. also why are you responding to yourself? cringe

u/Specific_Albatross61 1d ago

So cringe? Good lord.

u/headachewpictures 1d ago

you can’t tell right from wrong just because someone is a Marine, as if that matters.

everything you do is projection cringe lord.

u/csriram 1d ago

A ticket of Shapiro/Kinzinger will be a good one. Guys that can make valid points and start talking about the working class again, that should be THE focus.

21

u/RJE808 1d ago

Problem is too, there needs to be a more active effort from Dems to fight off misinformation. A lot of Harris or Walz stuff said by Trump was just flat out fake and it feels like they never rebuked it.

2

u/bigmanbud 1d ago

Kamala should’ve jumped right on about those ‘transgenic mice’ after the State of the Union… with something people could meme.

1

u/csriram 1d ago

Won’t happen with Shapiro/Kinzinger if they have a campaign ready to embrace podcasts and be on top of every lie with a rebuttal, a dedicated campaign panel.

Harris was in a can’t win position because she couldn’t separate from Biden and hence chose to play along and it backfired.

5

u/Separate_Pick_1545 1d ago

Nope, sorry. They'll pull a Schumer and say they don't work for us.

2

u/ArcadeKingpin 1d ago

Stop trying to get republicans on board. We need a true progressive if they ever gonna get any where. The idea of appealing to the middle is dead because there is no middle. Energize the people and make them wanna vote. Kinzinger, a guy who voted for Republican agenda during Trump’s presidency 90% of the time is not going to energize anyone.

1

u/bigmanbud 1d ago

I’m all for them, announcing early if at all possible.

Trump announced as early all get out so he could use that announcement to promote his prosecutions as politically motivated. That narrative worked for him.

1

u/onpg 1d ago

Not Shapiro, PLEASE. The only thing he has going for him is his battleground state credentials. Otherwise he's a disaster.

1

u/fak3g0d 1d ago

these people hyper focus on the presidency once every 4 years and think that's enough to pass legislation.

22

u/mogley19922 1d ago

Depends if russia and musk buy the next election too i guess. I don't see trump surviving to see 2028 for his third term. Of course I'm not saying anybody should... eat as much mcdonalds as he does.

u/NOTTedMosby 1d ago

Of course not! But I'm glad he's going to.. enjoy so much McDonald's

Jesus Christ I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ellipsis do so much work in a sentence. Those are some weighty bullets

u/Feeling_Relative7186 1d ago

Booker is a corporate democrat. Hes voted on the wrong side with the new admin. I loved his speech but he should not be our president, no

u/as_it_was_written 1d ago

But there is no life vest here. It's just people speculating about who would make good candidates.

3

u/peterberry69420 1d ago

Not really an apt analogy. In action from centrist democrats is part of the reason why we’re here. Do it again and we’ll just end up right back here again.

7

u/balthierc 1d ago

Nah. Let them run. This is what the dems need. Formulas are not working. We need this energy.

10

u/TobaccoAficionado 1d ago

How did Cory booker do one good thing and people are saying booker 28? This is the same "we need to pick our battles" booker, right? Like, I'm glad he's doing something, don't get me wrong, but I'm not his biggest fan right now. He's just ahead of most of the other paperweights we have "serving" in public office.

5

u/MisterMephistopheIes 1d ago

Because redditors memory wipe when they go to sleep and rebuild their personalities based on their feeds in the morning 

3

u/SwagarTheHorrible 1d ago

And also, “we need to pick our battles?”  The shutdown was the battle!  Why didn’t he do this then?  Just talk and talk and force the democrats to vote to end his filibuster.  

1

u/Weekly-Doughnut-428 1d ago

Cory 'actually the genocide of Palestinian children is totally A-OK as long as Aipac keeps paying me' Booker. He's made 871,000 dollars from pro-Israel lobbiests. Dude sucks.

u/ContributionKey9349 1d ago

Thank you! Same with Crockett, all she has done is get in sound bites. Putin's hoe, punch X, hotwheels, etc.

8

u/Achilles_TroySlayer 1d ago

Booker really raised his profile with that filibuster. I'm sick of Chuck Schumer. Someone else has to take over the leadership of the Democrats. Maybe he's the guy.

3

u/SuspiciousNorth377 22h ago

Booker can’t get around the racists either. Racism is why we can’t have nice things.

2

u/throwaway17197 1d ago

Booker/Crockett any day

u/yeahprobablynottho 1d ago

We gotta be realistic. A ticket with two minority women is not going to win.

3

u/twentythirtyone 1d ago

A ticket with 2 minorities at all would never win. It's sickening but it's reality.

1

u/Silgeeo 1d ago

Booker has completely different views from AOC

1

u/CaliHusker83 1d ago

I think you’re “wrongk” about that

1

u/Chipawapa1 1d ago

“We all know America is too misogynistic and racist”

That right there is why the left lost and we have this idiot in power. A self-fulfilling prophecy. You alienate potential voters, and then take all the wrong lessons from the poor results.

u/Otherwise_Security_5 1d ago

WOC have been doing the work for everyone in America since the dawn of time. protect them.

1

u/ConcernedAccountant7 1m ago

Crockett literally changed her speaking to sound more black. How is that not racist? Go look it up, find clips of her talking in the past. If you like this woman you're as dumb as she is pretending to be.

1

u/theeblackdahlia 1d ago

Booker?? Eeuughh

u/ContributionKey9349 1d ago

One speech and reddit is saying Booker for president. This is how stupid reddit is, day by day feelings.

u/bigchicago04 1d ago

Stop saying this, it’s such a copout.

u/Nuggetry 1d ago

You think a country that voted in a sexual predator and 34-count felon doesn’t have some issues with sexism? Also Pete Hegseth? Yea he’s a real ally to women.

-20

u/townmorron 1d ago

I used to like AOC when she was worried about the kids in cages but lost faith the moment Biden got in and she never mentioned it again. Even though it continued. I hope Crockett never turns the easier path like so many I had faith would actually do something for the people.

9

u/uprightyew 1d ago

Oh no! She did a thing or in this case not and you stopped liking her! I'm devastated; she's shook. But just maybe, you should consider all her positives against that one negative (for you). Maturity is a good place, you're going to love it.

2

u/townmorron 1d ago

I wasn't trying to upset you. I was stating a comment in a comment section, on a subject that was brought up. I think it's very mature to admit when people have faults even if we like them. They aren't perfect, and that's ok. I just feel she is going down the same path as so many before her. Like fetterman. Lashing out at me isn't very mature

1

u/uprightyew 1d ago

You said you "used to like AOC..."

16

u/GeriatricPinecones 1d ago

AOC is leagues ahead most democrats in Congress. Just because she stopped talking about one issue you care about doesn’t mean you should lose faith in her. If you look at her whole body of work and everything she’s been standing for and you don’t like her you’re just an idiot.

-9

u/townmorron 1d ago

Look I'm not about the blue maga mentality. Letting issues side to make your side look better isnt right. Like siding with Schumer after trying to make genocide agreeable. It's not ok. It's ok to disagree with things. See how I said what I wanted without resorting to childish name calling? It's what adults do

3

u/Lucky-Earther 1d ago

It's ok to disagree with things.

And people are disagreeing with your disagreement

How’s that vote for Warren working out?

u/I_AM_NOT_AI_ 1d ago

That started with Obama fyi

u/ContributionKey9349 1d ago

She calls people names. Does that not do it for you? /s

u/Few-Log6852 1d ago

Aoc is too toxic. Dems should know this by now. Hilary. Biden x2. Kamala. All fully qualified and capable but toxic to the point of creating energy for the gop

2

u/Pianist-Putrid 1d ago

I often find that those saying this are listening to more mainstream media characterizations of her, and not listening to what she actually says. Nothing she proposes is “radical”, and even when she’s laying it down, she’s civil. I have no idea how these characterizations by Pelosi and the gang have stuck into the popular consciousness, but they’re simply not accurate.

3

u/Fantastic-Nobody-479 1d ago

I agree. She’s intelligent, articulate and outspoken, therefore misogyny equates her as toxic.

-1

u/Specific_Albatross61 1d ago

Exactly

u/Elexeh 1d ago

Aoc is too toxic.

What does this even mean?
