Here we go.

It's 2028 and the presidential nominees are AOC and Trump (or Trump's successor). We know the policy agenda, we know the messaging. The table is set. Pick your candidate.

AOC is not my first choice, but she's a smart politician, has made pragmatic alliances with the center in the Democratic Party and is the successor to Bernie Sanders. I'm willing to compromise.

OMG, you are gonna whine, aren't you? You asked about a choice between AOC and the Trump successor. I gave an opinion on that question.
If your only retort is to whine some more, then do so, knock yourself out, BUT................ my answer remains the same, it's not yet time for AOC.

Let me repeat: It's not yet time for AOC

Again: Maybe some time in the future, but not yet

Shall I say it again??
 
AOC is way too polarising to make much sense for the Dems. If Trumps successor is someone like him, I might just hold my nose and vote for AOC just to get rid of a continuation of Trumps insanity, but damn that is an awful set of choices. I hope that sanity returns to both parties, but my expectation is that some awful maga candidate would try to continue in Trumps shoes. I do think that AOC is smarter than many credit her for being, but she is too far to the left and probably lacks the sort of leadership skills that would be needed. I can't see AOC even winning all the moderate Dems, let alone the bulk of the independents.
 
I like watching AOC, she is smart and has a good confidence most times. I am not sure about some of her views, but she is fun.

I really don't think AOC can win. It would be cool if she could, I just don't think she is a good person for the dems to put forward.
 
Third party if these are the choices.
 
AOC or the Gov. of Maryland.........in a rational world they would be shoe-ins

Sadly Obama is what set the lunacy of the fringe right in motion. IMO he's a good man and was a good POTUS, but what the nation need to recover from Trumpism in 2028 is for the DNC to take away the worst reactionary elements of the fringe right. Therefore - no women, no minorities, no LGBTQ candidates. Take that polemical ammo away from the red state culture crusaders.

Sad that I feel the nation is such that that has to be done. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
 
Smart - now there's a word I would never associate with AOC.

Fox News (and now Newsmax I'm sure) are GENIUS regarding how they take Democrats (who they see as a threat to Republicanism/MAGA/White Supremacy/a threat to the richest people) and over time just pounding on them and convincing the dumbass base that those Democrats are literally SATAN. Here, I'll prove it...

Hillary Clinton would have been a pretty good President.
