AOC for President!

We desperately need more young people running for all offices, local and national. If you are a young person stuck in a dead-end job, run for an office somewhere. You don’t need anyone to back you. Just sign up and learn about the process by doing it.

If you don’t ever win, it’s a fun and interesting life experience to share with others. You will make new, life-long friends along the way and you will be showing others that it’s possible.

If you DO win, though, there is no limit to the benefit you can bring to humanity! The world needs you. Do it! I will vote for you.

Signed, An Old Person

Have you seen what she has been voting for and the changes she went through in less than 4 years?

She is closer to Nancy Pelosi than anyone the left should be going for, while also letting the Justice Dems. die out.

She endorsed Biden the same day Biden agrees to send Cluster bombs to Ukraine…

I don’t think the people see her the same way as we did in the start of her career as a politician.

edit: fixed cluster bomb info

We have different views, I was for the progressives, that was the only reason we wanted AOC.

Now she is just another blue dog democrat.

Correct and of course you have fake progressives here down voting and defending her trying to smell her farts as she gives them more of the same neoliberal bullshit putting them closer to poverty as the years go by

Sad we keep falling for it, I just hope we keep learning from our mistakes.

Some learned after: Obama, Trump, Biden

Little by little we can keep learning and talking so we may fight the class war, the people vs. the wealthy.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
