    Hey, DNC, aren’t you desperate to put a woman up for election? You’ve got a fiery, quick-witted, awesome, young one here that is full of ideas and not afraid to try stuff. The conservatives haven’t had time to run decades of smear tactics against her and she hasn’t been threatening her husband’s SA victims. I bet she already has a plan to deal with someone accusing her of being born in Mexico (I understand she’s Puerto Rican, but that’s not the bogeyman) and shut it down before years of idiocy bring it up again.

    She’s standing behind Biden this time around. I’m hoping for a run in 2028. It would be the first presidential candidate in a while that I didn’t hold my nose to vote for.

      I’d vote for her, but I don’t think she’s ready. Better than Biden though.

      Personally, I want Jon Stewart. He’s not perfect, but there’s not a single person on the planet better equipped to take down Trump.

      I don’t know if Jon or AOC would make a better president, but Jon would be better at campaigning against Trump.

      But really just give us someone under 65. (Note: I’ll still vote for the good person who’s too old for the job if the alternative isn’t better.)

        I definitely get the love for Stewart. However, he holds no elected position and has repeatedly stated that he has no interest in running for president. So I’m not going to be the one to hold a gun to his head and force him to run.

        AOC has the proper ambitions. If she’s not ready then let her decide that because the only reason she wouldn’t be is because a bunch of out of touch old dudes refuse to mentor her and I’m not sure that’s such a bad thing.

      AOC suffers the same problem as Nancy Peloci: she’s too demonized by the GOP. It’s an odd problem to have but she would need to retire from the House for a few years and run later.

      If you want AOC-like, Kathy Porter is actually a very viable candidate. The question is whether the DNC is willing to let her actually run or if they’ll pull a “It’s Hillary’s turn” like they did to Bernie.
