If those are our two front runners we are fucked.
AOC would be great.
She's hit and miss for me. When she's calling people out on their bullshit regardless of party affiliation I am a fan. When she's marching along with the ancient Democrats and being performative I can't stand that shit.
I do not think she would do significantly better than Harris did. I think she would be an improvement, but idk if that's gonna be enough.
But would the majority of American voters vote for her?
Because if not then it doesn’t matter how great she would be.
AOC might be a better House speaker.
If she doesn't move to the Senate, yeah.
Of all the US presidents, only Obama, Harding, and FDR won the presidency from the Senate. I dont see that being in the Senate or not being in the Senate has any bearing at all beyond a bump for name recognition, and AOC doesnt need that bump. Especially so with the voters extreme low polling for approval of dems in congress.
I didn't mean as a step towards POTUS. I think we need more people like her in Congressional leadership roles more than we need her as POTUS. Unless we're talking about the next Roosevelt, I want a boring POTUS.
Then who would you suggest, if not AOC?
Truthfully I don't know if the Democrats have anyone that can win back the American people. Newsome is hated by half his own state and all the other states. Buttigieg maybe? Idk.
We really need another Obama or Bill Clinton. Someone charasmatic and well spoken. We just don't have anyone young or charasmatic in that way that I can think of.
