    na i think the hate boner for AOC on the right is worse. both r about on par but at least kamala (per identity politic) had an almost guaranteed advantage off of name recognition & "vote blue.." Black / South Asian voters. aoc wud have to win over a more drastically divided Hispanic base

    and as much of a airhead as she is, ive never seen anyone spin trump w as much success as kamala on that debate stage.

    the nails in the coffin were biden's untimely refusal to drop/skipping a democrat primary and her status quo positions {namely on israel/ genocide of Palestinians}

    The problem for her is that I don’t believe she would have won the nomination if Biden had never run for a 2nd term.

    There were too many better options that would’ve run against her had that happened. She proved to suck at running in Dem primaries in 2020. She also proved to be opposed to distancing herself from Biden, and which would’ve been necessary in a theoretical 2024 Dem Primary

    whether she wudve is won then is in the past.
    atp shes had nearly half the country put her name on a ballot

    There were too many better options

    where are they now? democrats seem starved for any good, willing candidates who arent already running for other seats of elected office or have a slim chance of winning. the other establishment names circling (newsom, buttigieg) arent much better than kamala when it comes to being staunchly defined on the key issues (aipac/israel/gaza genocide, economic strategy/poverty reduction, m4a, ice/immigration). as of now, aoc is yal only hope

    "Wait till AFTER mid terms!"

    Legit what they're doing lmao. I feel like if the GOP wins this midterm, they're going to go scorched earth (on America) with all the corporate welfare and all this other bullshit they've been diddly daddling with but haven't jumped the gun on.

    They're going to come back on us with a vengeance

    They're going to do everything they want with impunity, and won't give two s***s what their base thinks of it

    It’s honestly a miracle Trump can’t run for a third term (assuming blah blah blah blah) bc he’d honestly curb stomp this field I think

    You really gotta ask yourself if the Dems are even trying atp

    Yeah they are trying, trying to lose

    The fact that our establishment democratic "leadership" has more energy to commit to condemning a Twitch streamer than they do to combat the Trump administration that is literally speedrunning ruining what's left of this country says it all

    Haven’t agreed with dude in a while but he on the money here. AOC folding on “Woke 1” and hopping on team Biden when he was cooked showed she not a fighter and has terrible political instincts.

    I’ll give her credit for no endorsing Graham Platner though

    Biden was cooked at that point and they're both Israel lackeys so it's really a wash but I doubt Biden would have outright dismissed a Palestine supporter like Kamala did. Her campaign ended right then and there

    "White America" is just simply going to vote Republican regardless. They've been conditioned to vote against their own interests no matter how bad things get and they do it happily every time

    You're making it an identity politics thing when the reality is that the Dems ran two atrocious candidates and they're poised to do the same thing again in 2028

    Progressives & leftists want candidates that are going to earn their vote, not just be the lesser of two evils. They will sit out again and Republicans will win again if the democratic nominee is not anti-Israel, anti-ICE, and pro m4a
