The next AOC? Young Democrats are aiming to topple incumbents inside their own party
The next AOC? Young Democrats are aiming to topple incumbents inside their own party
Elijah Manley was still a teenager when his frustration with President Trump pushed him to get involved in politics. Today, he's finally old enough to run for Congress. Upset with how his own Democratic Party is responding to Trump, he's decided to do just that.
Good news but also butterfly meme.
Please, we need to get people in office who are at least young enough to know how to use social media correctly
We need more young people to run in general. They can hire people to handle social media but we need people who are going to be directly impacted by the laws they pass.
Good! That party needs a major shake up. Oh. And some damn balls(metaphorically speaking)
Yes to both of these. This is precisely what Democrats need.
Critical that the next generation are immune to AIPAC. That is the only way to break free of the Zionist chokehold
They need to be immune to so many different PACs. And they need to learn the lesson Biden and Kamala didn't: you actually get more funding my courting us, the people, than you do the corporations. Yeah, the corporations have more money, and they'll give you some, but they'll give more to the republican candidate, and what's more, there's more of us.
That great news! Unfortunately my generation, including myself, did not step up.
Are you registered to vote?
How about replacing Pelosi instead. We could use plenty like AOC tho.
Jesus tap dancing Christ, I thought she left Congress when she gave up the speakership! Amazing and disappointing to learn differently…
Gotta keep that grift going
That’s great n shit but how about we get AOC the fucking nomination?
This country is nowhere near ready to elect a woman. Put AOC up and you hand the election to the republicans again.
The next AOC?
So more groomed and astroturfed 'champion for the peoples' to create the ilusion there is some leftism in the uniparty and keep the flock from choosing 3rd party.You should go touch some grass. Every single thing you post is negative as fuck. Get a life.
you should mind your own business and accept uncomfortable truths.
unfortunately some of the states where it was barely holding D, will be R next election. much like manchins state.
Someone becoming a brand name like AOC did is certainly possible, they just need to make room for themselves very quickly.
Let's be honest. The left is dying for anyone with half a brain and an entire heart to step up.
Will they also like AOC abandon even their half baked center left opinions to fold into the democratic mainstream?
Trump is not even the problem, he's better than most GOP.
Trump is a bell weather that the post-WW2 Breton Woods paradigm is over. That's all he is. We are going to either go through crazy poltico-socioeconomic change or be crushed under the weight of our own inflexibility.
What do you say leftists?
Yay? This is obviously good news. Were you implying something with "leftists"?
Yeah, the “leftists” in some places can’t bring themselves to support any Democrat. Some can’t even support democratic elections. They call Democrats “libs” and hate them for not fixing all problems. And they spent a lot of time and capital grinding their views prior to the 2024 election. Since then they’ve been quieter, but I expect that to change the closer we get to midterms.
It’s really weird.
Okay, so that's a big raspberry from the leftists.
