Since the 2 comments here have negative votes, I'll go ahead and say: Good! You need some radical shit happening USA, and AOC is a good start.

Worst part is that for a rather large part of Europe, what she and Bernie want isn’t even that radical.
At least for Scandinavia, they’d be center-left.

Just shows how incredibly different we are politically

If we manage to get out of this democratically, it won't be with one huge sweeping swing all the way to what the rest of the world considers the left. Even something vaguely resembling the left from the perspective of an actually functional country would be an insane first step toward fixing this country.

“Nobody earns a billion dollars”.

Don’t tell me that doesn’t resonate with everyone.

"Oh but she's bad because some reason, you're better of not voting and just lying belly up so fascists can ruin everything faster" , "the democrats are just the same as republicans, so we shouldn't even try anything", "I won't support genocide so I won't oppose even more genocide", "it doesn't matter anymore we can't do anything, it'll be better if we let the fascists win and wait until everything is in ruins"
Then people arguing against

That's about how these comment sections always go lmao

Way too early. The person who is in the lead as a normal primary begins, is NEVER the final nominee.

Uh, Joe Biden was in the lead from the start.

with the DNC inability to even acnknowledge election autopsy for 2024, i dont have high hopes for her. mark kelly would be a better candidate, and nobody trusts NEWSOME at all, since hes so slimy even before platform neo-nazis on a talk show.
