This is great news, but let’s think about this: when has AOC ever said this was an ambition of hers??
I get that you don’t reveal your plans, but we think that this discussion about AOC going to the Senate is a play by outside forces.
If we believe the media is a tool of the elites, we can also imagine that the elites are concerned about AOC catching fire with the public while out on the “Fight Oligarchy” tour with Bernie.
To counter her rise, the media could be pushing this story of AOC going after a Senate seat, so as to put a ceiling on her. If AOC is a Senator, that is great, and could be a stepping stone for the future. But if that is the case, who does that leave for us for the Presidency in 2028? Pete Buttigieg? Cory Booker?
We know the sort of corporate Democrats those two are. The cycle will continue again.
The systemic change we need happens via the Presidency, not by a solitary Senator. Therefore, I propose that we reject the calls for AOC to be a Senator…..
We need to push her to the front of the line as the 2028 Democratic nominee for President of the United States.
As much as we all love and adore her, let's be real.
Dems are 0/2 with women candidates.
Not only that, but this is AOCs first real step into the national stage. She's a good candidate for a cabinet position, and people would probably like to see her in that type of role before running for Pres.
While I get it, I'm politely asking you to stop, because it takes focus off of what we need now.
Kamala's issue was that she had a 3 month rush campaign against someone campaigning for years, and the billionaire-owned media wanted Trump tax cuts, not that she was a woman.
but this is AOCs first real step into the national stage.
