Cool… AOC is leading in the polls about an imaginary election taking place more than 3 years from now. Meanwhile yesterday I spent $116 on groceries and didn’t even need help carrying them up the stairs.
$116 of groceries that you can carry up the stairs‽ So like, a few bananas, an avocado, and some stale bread (no toasting required)? Quit bitching, you’re spending wayyy over your means, obviously! Lemme guess, you occasionally enjoy cheese as well. Have you tried $116 worth of beans instead?.. I bet not, you bougie peasant
Importing that avocado is the real problem, should have picked up a Florida orange and a Georgia peach instead.
In all seriousness the cartels did pivot to avocados in Mexico.
AOC has it all. She’s progressive, well educated, from a humble background, intelligent and good looking. I am rooting for her but I don’t expect the Democratic Party to have a fair primary for that Senate seat.
I’ve never voted for anyone because the are considered “good looking”. What a shallow approach to politics.
Yes. It’s an incredibly shallow approach to politics. Humans are shallow.
Can confirm, am human
Humans are shallow
Politicians are human
Politics are shallow
Was nodding along until you commented on a politician’s appearance….
Unless you haven’t lived in the real world, you’d know that -like it or not- looks also matter, and right now we need all the matter we can get
It matters more for a women, men are allowed to be ugly.
It matters for men too, though I’ll agree it matters more for women
I’m not saying this is a good thing, I’m saying this is how it is because it’s how humans are wired. Like it or not, subconsciously you’ll like pretty people better
[Ted Cruz enters chat…] not always.
I think they meant that in the sense that charisma is a practical tool to get elected and to get your message across, not that they want to see more hotties on CSPAN.
Like the other reply said, it’s unfortunate that it’s a significant factor, but here it is.
JFK has entered the chat.
In the first televised presidential debate in 1960, radio listeners said that Nixon won, but TV viewers thought he looked thin and sallow compared to Kennedy’s youthful vigor and gave JFK the edge.
Appearance has played a big role in politics ever since.
It’s the unfortunate reality in American politics, especially for someone from a minority group
Or any woman
yeah MTG is really struggling.
“Look at this one example, that means bigotry no longer exists!”
Sarah Sanders too. I can fund a few more. I am not saying Republicans are not sexiest

Carry on AOC, perhaps she will lead the normal Americans out of the fucking orange nightmare.
Come 2028 and the Dems are going to try running with Hillary again.
It’s just a Senate seat she’d be running for… unfortunately
2028 primary election polls?
I’m busy planning the Orlando Magic’s NBA title parade, while we’re worrying about realistic concerns.
Someone should tell the Boomers that it’s time for them to get out of politics and let the younger ones replace them.
Tale control of production and starve them out 🤷
Lmao we’re all going to be in mass graves by 2028
My hope is that more “quiet Democrats” get primary’d. Usually they would say “don’t primary me, you’ll risk losing us to the Republican candidate in the general and we have a moderate agenda that’s the lesser evil”.
Right now they don’t have an agenda at all, no rudder, no direction. This is the time to primary tf out of the old Dems.
People are turning against Chuck “my job is to keep the left pro-Israel” Schumer? Say it ain’t so!
Ugh, 2028? So, we have to wait 4 years?

Hopefully she becomes a leader of the Democratic Party
Uh oh establishment dems… that’s a huge margin.
Better pull strings to shoehorn the controlled opposition back in!
Quick! Gather the superdelegates! 🥴🦸♂️
What a dream come true it would be to have AOC primary him.
If she loses, it could be the end of her political career. So it’s definitely a risk. At the same time, if he loses it will be as well. He better resign if he thinks it will be even close.
If she loses, it could be the end of her political career.
If she loses, it will mean the party has been dead a while.
If she loses, the country is cooked. We might be cooked anyway, but like, double cooked. Refried.

Why would that be the end of her political career?
Because, in the game of thrones, you win or you die.
Seriously, though, I don’t necessarily agree. Though it’s not the norm, people DO come back after losing high profile races.
Just look at how establishment media can’t kick their Hillary addiction, or how Kari Lake somehow remains relevant in spite of never winning anything but Arizona GOP primaries, which are basically just bigotry state fairs.
If they can, AOC DEFINITELY can.

It could be… I just think in politics when you lose big races, you have a stink on you that’s hard to get off. People won’t believe she can win another big race, so they’ll take her less seriously.
It’s not guaranteed, it’s just a thing that happens in politics.
No, she’d just stay in her Congressional seat.
The ONLY thing I’m learning from these Polls is that we need to go FURTHER RIGHT and Bring Back HARRIS!
-The DNC!
Biden is already offering to come out of retirement to help!
Fuck off you old POS. I’m so ready for someone like AOC to be the front runner. This country needs it whether the majority of people realize it or not.
The only way to unite this country is to launch Manchin for president.
- DNC
President Liz Cheney (D) because it’s her time.
But AOC can’t run because Americans are too sexist.
With vp Hillary
hes only going to be “independant” he already is going to lose his seat to a magat.
