unfortunately some of the states where it was barely holding D, will be R next election. much like manchins state.
Someone becoming a brand name like AOC did is certainly possible, they just need to make room for themselves very quickly.
Let's be honest. The left is dying for anyone with half a brain and an entire heart to step up.
Good! That party needs a major shake up. Oh. And some damn balls(metaphorically speaking)
Yes to both of these. This is precisely what Democrats need.

That great news! Unfortunately my generation, including myself, did not step up.
Are you registered to vote?
Good news but also butterfly meme.
Please, we need to get people in office who are at least young enough to know how to use social media correctly
At the very least people who were born AFTER color television.
How about a simple test: if you remember Kent State happening, you're now too old for office.
I’m 57. I remember where I was when Reagan was shot. I’m too old to be a politician.
No you aren’t.
There is no “too old to be a politician” since old people exist and need representation too.
We just ought to have representation that matches demographics, but that’s DEI and basically communism now or something
Depends, were you celebrating Regan being shot?
Of course not. He lived
I remember being bummed that the bullet wasn't just a little more to the side for effectiveness.

How about replacing Pelosi instead. We could use plenty like AOC tho.
Jesus tap dancing Christ, I thought she left Congress when she gave up the speakership! Amazing and disappointing to learn differently…

Critical that the next generation are immune to AIPAC. That is the only way to break free of the Zionist chokehold
They need to be immune to so many different PACs. And they need to learn the lesson Biden and Kamala didn't: you actually get more funding my courting us, the people, than you do the corporations. Yeah, the corporations have more money, and they'll give you some, but they'll give more to the republican candidate, and what's more, there's more of us.
You're high as a kite if you think a super pac doesn't have infinitely deeper pockets. They just bid the minimum for these politicians. If millions of grass roots donors gave everything they could, it would be a rounding error for them to match it.
No I know the PACs have more monetary power than we do. But Kamala stopped getting as much funding when she turned to them instead of us. The PACs love republicans because the republicans will do anything for money
DNC hasn’t conducted a legitimate presidential primary since 08. That is EIGHTEEN straight years of effyou from the DNC. No signs they plan on wavering anytime soon. Your next candidate will be anointed for you.
