I hope Pelosi and Obama get through to him and he steps down. It will be on Kamala to pick a running mate to energize the base, and as a prosecutor I think it would go a long way if she went with a staunch progressive as her running mate. Like could you imagine if we got a Harris Ocasio-Cortez ticket? AOC wouldn't have to be the frontrunner on questions of experience, and Kamala could show she cares about the future voters and setting AOC up for a future presidential run. I don't know how we can make that kind of a future a reality, but we really need to try.
Is AOC old enough? Serious question.
She will be one month before the election.
Yes. As long as she's old enough by January 20, 2025 (she is), she's eligible to run.
My fear is that she'll pick someone from the right-wing of the party to 'balance out' the fact that she's a racial minority and a woman, which scares those poor, poor right-leaning voters.
I mean, of course she will. If Biden steps aside, the party runs the risk of looking like it's capable of listening. Don't want the left getting the idea that they should expect better.
As an European (which also means I'm much more politically aligned with AOC), isn't she far too progressive for the popular vote?
While I'm in no doubt it would be what was best for the US, does she have the numbers to beat the insurrectionist?
Bernie Sanders reached more voters on the right than centerist democrats do, hes been on fox news and has in other ways connected with right wing voters publicly, other progressives probably could do the same if they were smart with their messaging. If AOC wasn't Fox news' boogyman for years I'd Imagine she win in a blowout. That also probably why she was the boogyman.
Harris/Biden. Hunter Biden.
If that were to happen, Trump voters would jump on the "we can't elect a felon" bandwagon without the slightest hint of irony.
Oh, PLEASE make this happen! Americans, I beg you!
