Absolutely great line from AOC's instagram last night...

[CincyDem]

"I'm in some of these discussions and all I hear these people talking about is about my donors want this or that, nothing about my voters want..."

I can't wait to see where she goes. Remember...when JFK was her age, he was a 2nd term Congressman from MA-11. I think she's already a couple years ahead of his trajectory.

[CoopersDad]

1. I hope to live long enough to see AOC embraced by the party leadership

She has the right stuff to lead us out of decades of decline.

But she'll need help.

[Walleye]

3. She has a brilliant political mind that we should be utilizing more

[llmart]

6. And I hope to live long enough to see...

limits placed on how much money one person/corporation can donate to a politician.

[sdfernando]

13. What do you think about a future ticket

AOC / Crockett ????

[CoopersDad]

23. Love it! ""bleach blond, bad-built butch body" Crockett? Hell yeah!

Love them both!

[sdfernando]

24. I'm wearing that t-shirt right now!

Love Crockett!

[CoopersDad]

25. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[SunImp]

29. Younger Dems like her deserve more credit than they get

I think people have been gaslit to hate her type of congressional style

[Think. Again.]

2. AOC is one of the few "Greats" of our time that will be in the history books.

[SocialDemocrat61]

4. Hope she gets a primetime speech at the convention

She is the future of the Democratic party.

[Dan]

5. I would love to support

Her and Katie (?) Porter for the Presidency sometime in the future. The ladies make me optimistic for the future.

[Moostache]

9. The are both fantastic.

I still hold out hope that capability and sheer talent will get Pete Buttigeg onto the ticket in my lifetime in some way...

[moonscape]

10. Yes. He is stunningly

brilliant and talented.

[enid602]

17. Schiff

I think it is disgusting what Schiff did to Katie.

[Moostache]

7. Schumer better get in line, we already have a better candidate in the pen for Senator (N.Y. - D) (n/t)

[Dan]

8. It's kind of like what happened to the GOP

The elite leadership of the GOP wanted their man and the base wanted Trump.

Same now, some of the leadership in the Democratic Party want Biden out and the base wants Biden.

The GOP wants chaos and the Dem wants stability.

[PatSeg]

11. The contrast between their base and our base

is astonishing and it really shows in the choice of leaders.

[markodochartaigh]

19. Yes, in 2015 the

Republicans were going to have a brokered convention to choose another candidate. But they realized that because Trump was so popular among the 80% of their base who are authoritarians they could not win without him. So the corporate Republicans put party before country and chose an authoritarian Strong Leader who is not committed to democracy.

[ShazzieB]

22. And look where the GOP is now!

They're tethered to that Strong Man, whether they like it or not. Even as he loses popularity with voters, he's fully in charge of the party. He's pushed out everyone who won't dance to his tune, and those who are left all have to bend to his will or else.

The Republican Party is now literally the Party of Trump. A lot of former party leaders have retired from politics rather than take orders from the Orange Hellbeast, and what's left is a mix of MAGA wing nuts and politicians who once opposed him but have chosen to take a knee and kiss his ring (and God knows what else) rather than abandon their political careers.

The situation was never more obvious than it was this week at the RNC. That convention was a joke, and a very bad one at that. A disaster, as their dear leader would say!

[sanatanadharma]

12. Without Biden-Harris, there is no Roevember

Winning requires women and Democrats.

I fear "no true Democrat" will result in a Trump win and Trump doesn't win without the house and Senate as well.
To paraphrase the President of the USA, it is an "all in" time. No maybes, half-ways, other roads, possibilities.
We either awake post election to the best of all possible worlds or the worst times listening to our neighbors telling us that the depression, repression, subjection, hunger and deportation are all God's plan.

[flying_wahini]

14. She will make a great President someday.

[azureblue]

15. never underestimate

the diplomatic abilities of an ex bartender. Especially one with a college degree - she double-majored in international relations and economics, graduating cum laude.
And latino, and you do not want to mess with an angry latino woman.

She's got it all going, and i hope to see her as president.

[58Sunliner]

16. Kick and Rec!!

[angrychair]

18. AOC has become one of my favorite people

I have liked her since her first term but she has grown into her role as a stand out member of Congress and a strong leader.

She is everything that people like Boebert and MTG wish they could be and never will be.

[captain queeg]

27. And Crockett too!

[angrychair]

28. Absolutely

Love Crockett too

[ffr]

20. It's soliditying our belief in Joe Biden as an outside-the-beltway incumbent.

Americans say they don't want a politician. Well, the reality TV/movie character has come to life. His name is Joseph Biden. You want to fix Washington? In 2024, you'll get your chance. Have everyone you know cast a vote for Biden and be the change you've always wanted.

[still-prayin4rain]

21. She's incredible! nt

[captain queeg]

26. I like her. Sent her $10. But right now I'm keeping my donations just to Joe. Not much but I hope he sees how many

Small donations he’s getting.
