    AOC would Crush it. But to get the DNC on board would be tricky or you get a left lane split ticket. We need to flip the electoral college and statehouses, then fill those Congressional seats everytime they come up. An AOC presidency could achieve great things but she needs a receptive congress, and willing states.

      Why?

      The current chair said he wants a presidential candidate like Mamdani, both in regards to policy and charisma…

      And he said that right after Mamdani won his primary, when people didn’t think he’d win the general…

      So why do you think the same DNC wouldn’t support AOC?

        What they say and what’s true aren’t really the same when it comes to politicians.
