Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, May 25, 2026

All Democrats in the United States of America should be gladdened by the news that competent and effective NYC Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) is making new moves toward a possible White House bid in 2028. AOC would easily raise $100 million just from small-dollar donors, mobilize an army of supporters from Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) past campaigns, and command attention as few other candidates could.

AOC Fights for Everyday Americans
No doubt AOC will get unparalleled support from Bernie Sanders (I-VT), James Talarico (D-TX), Graham Platner (D-ME), former POTUS Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D)

Although Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) represents the small 14th CD in NYC with approximately 700,000 constituents, like popular and competent NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), she too has a nationwide following and is an effective member of the "Squad."

AOC Social Media Followers:

Instagram: ~ 9.7 million
TikTok: ~ 4.1 million
Bluesky: ~ 2.2 million

Genuine Democrats in NYS and America should all be rallying around her.

If AOC chooses not to run for POTUS in 2028, NYS Democrats will also be more than happy to have her replace the unpopular and ineffective US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). New Yorkers have had their fill of this dinosaur-- like disgraced ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo -- and the herd of brontosauruses constipating the American body politic.

And thank you, *Killfile* for sparing me from "suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," which will emanate from the trolls, stalkers, AIPAC-ers, and malcontents on drudge.com.

I think it was OCUser (if not, my apologies) who said years ago, when her name started becoming more known, "When I hear her name, all I can think of is her hair on my pillow."

That'll be my sexist remark for the day, until the next one.
