We all like AOC here on Lemmy, but are enough of the old ass "liberals" going to join us so she can actually get elected? Seems highly unlikely to be honest.
I'd love to see it happen though. That's what primaries are for. The Dems should try one of those. It's been a while.
Oh shit! I'm a total klutz and I dropped this list of states with Governor and AG elections between 2025 and 2028
OH NO! I fumbled and spilled this list of 33 of the 100 six-year term (Jan 2027-2033) Senate seats up for election on Nov 3, 2026.
Fuck, I'm such a butterfingers! There goes the list of midterm elections also on Nov 3, 2026 where representatives from all 435 congressional districts across each of the 50 U.S. states, as well as five of the six non-voting delegates from the District of Columbia and the inhabited U.S. territories will be chosen.
I hope nobody tries showing the establishment parties that Americans would actually show up to vote for a 3rd party candidate as president, by electing as many 3rd party candidates as they could in elections with less at stake occuring throughout the country between now and 2028. Boy, what a waste of time that would be.
Bernie and AOC seem to be hoovering up the MSNBC liberal boomer demographic at this point because that demo has finally snapped and the dems leadership is completely absent.
That, however, probably won't translate into a progressive/socialist candidate winning the next presidential primary. They might have a stronger showing but dem leadership will move to protect their donors and stifle that candidate.
Pelosi showed us already the Democratic party won't let aoc sniff a primary
I'm 45. Am I old enough to be an old ass liberal? I love AOC and I hope she succeeds.
I'm talking 70's, 80's, and up. I'm also in my 40s.
Aww shit 40s gang rise up!
