Did you see POTUS-level performance from the Community Organizer?

More than AOC.

Successful lawyer in civil rights, community leader and state and federal level elected official.

He also had a gravitas and demeanor that was able to reach people. I don't see that quality in AOC whenever I hear her speak. I feel like she's typically saying the same things over and over and usually they're standard talking points.

You've never heard of Rick Wilson? That's kind of surprising.

No the DNC is doing that by burying their study on the reasons people hate them because we know what that study concludes - the people hate elitist corruption and want real populism.

I don't disagree with you on that one tiny bit.

The perception of corporate capture of both parties is a huge turn off to a large portion of the electorate.

Problem is, how do you fix that if you stop participating?

You know what dems haven't tried against maga yet? An actual economic populist.

No, they haven't.

But how do you see economic populism working out? The electorate has consistently voted for tax cuts and, foolishly I admit, decreases in social spending. They certainly won't vote for tax hikes or, more than likely, large scale social programs.

They just want to ability to work hard and make fair wages and a good living for doing so.

It's incredible that he thinks he's the rational one when his argument is FOR gambling with a newborn's life to avoid a brief period of mild discomfort.

The best reason to support AOC is how much the DNC and RNC hate her.

We need an asinine flag.

The only quality that a leader needs to win right now is credibly fighting against the corrupt elites.

Surface level nonsense.

Y'all are going to guarantee Trump wins a third term.

The reason why leadership is such a critical attribute at this juncture is because of how difficult that task will be on top of beginning to fix the damage caused by Trump and MAGA.

Y'all's apparent solution for that is to hand the keys of the country to the equivalent of Trump's Counter Terrorism lead at DHS...

I'm sure she's doing something right for her district if they keep putting her back in office.

But I just don't see POTUS-level performance or accomplishments. Most of what people know about her is from her being a favorite Faux News punching bag which, fair or not, will definitely work against her in any national election.

Couple that with the fact that a woman as qualified as Hillary Clinton couldn't win and I just don't think AOC would be a good choice. You'd be handing the WH to the GOP on a silver platter.

JPW will continue to rail against progressives and makes sure Trump wins in 2028.

I'll rail against the Dems making the same mistake they make every single time they think they have momentum.

It also couldn't be any clearer at this point in time what a plurality of Americans wants. Here's a hint, it's not progressivism.

It's funny how y'all always think you're what this country wants no matter how many times you're repudiated in state- or national-level elections. Without fail, Dems lose power once they have majorities BECAUSE they swing too far left to please people like you.

Also, you will have people like JPW that dont know what she has accomplished and think she is just a face with a loud mouth.

You mean people who accurately assess reality?
