AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New Poll
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is seen as the "face" of the Democratic Party according to new polling.
You're viewing a single thread.
She's not the face of the Democratic Party
She's the face of a completely new and different party that has nothing to do with old Democrats.
To me, I've been viewing the US as being governed under a one party state for a while ... the Republicans and the Democrats form two halves of the same organization.
The US doesn't need a third party
They need to form a new second opposition party because the old one morphed into the monstrous thing we have today.
Any time someone can't tell the difference between centrists and fascists, I just have to assume that their stance is more about arguing than it is about a sincerely held ideology.
Or put another way, it's time for the non-fascist party to realign ideologically as part of the Seventh Party Era
Pretty much, yeah.
Taking over the Democratic Party vs starting a new party is kinda like addressing climate change on Earth vs terraforming Mars.
The former sounds painful and bureaucratic while the latter sounds exciting and innovative.
But if you can’t fix the party or planet you’ve got, which has like 80% of the hard work done already, what hope do you have of doing a new thing from scratch?
One of the criticisms against the Democratic Party is that they aren't particularly democratic. Party insiders and the wealthy hold far more power and practically pick the nominees.
Rather than compare them to the planet from which we were birthed, I would compare them to a shitty boyfriend we're afraid to dump.
Fuck that.
Centrists/Republcian Lites don't deserve to the party.
They are free to fight republicans over control of that shitshow.
