We rise by lifting others.
Not just the loudest, not just the strongest—
but especially the ones who’ve been ignored the longest.
That’s what real progress looks like.
I sincerely hope she runs for president. Fuck all the “she doesn’t have enough experience” noise. That’s just code for “she’s not an old white man”. She’s got more experience than the current fascists in the white house
I’m worried it’s more of a “too radical left, like Bernie” or “too emotional”, because, you know, *whispers she’s a woman…and we don’t even let the overqualified white ladies win.
She’s not arrogant , will be willing to take the best advice & would be inclusive with her team . Most importantly , she’s not a liar .
AOC for POTUS !
I’ve changed my tune on AOC over the last couple years. I don’t think she has the experience in a lot of spaces, but truly she has shown she can work with people and recognizes the expertise of others. So our country would be 1000x (add as many zeros necessary) than it is today.
Same. She was really immature and kind of shrill in her early days, but she has matured a LOT in the last few years. Of course, how could she not? She works in a pit of vipers
Shrill is a hilariously ‘gendered’ word, but prob close to what I thought too. Naive and staunch about things and the ways she’s proven to be more flexible and see things more ‘grey’ has helped me she her potential.
You’re right - it IS gendered (although I’ve seen some shrill men on YouTube recently. 😂). But it’s a REAL perception that women cannot ignore if they want to be taken seriously in a world dominated by men and ass backward women.
I hope she starts as Vice President and then runs for President — because if we're lucky, we need 16 years of her leadership. God willing, we get all 16. Then I pray that she runs for governor of New York right after.
I think we're safe to conclude that misogyny is huge problem. Say it as it is.
Weak men cannot handle the psychic damage from a woman being good or better at something so they go on the offensive instead of taking the hard choice of introspection and change.
AOC's great, but America unfortunately hates women. Two extremely competent, experienced, compassionate women went up against Trump, and the American voters couldn't be fussed both times. Until things change, great women like AOC will come in second place.
Lol, people didn't not vote for Kamala because she was a Woman. They didn't vote for her because she kept pushing Biden talking points. Points he wasn't going to win with either. Hillary? People saw the media Blackout on Sanders. That's why she didn't win Time has passed to push corporate Dems on us
You understate just how ingrained sexism and misogyny is into the average American’s consciousness. Just look at what the Supreme Court did to abortion rights: American voters didn’t do shit about it.
I’ll continue to believe America hates women until proven otherwise.
I want her to run and I'd vote for her in a heartbeat. I just fear this country will fuck it up again and vote for some unqualified white dude instead of the qualified and competent woman. We have a shit track record in that regard, so far.
Maybe, just maybe, the hell we’re living now is the preamble to bringing a woman like Alexiandria Ocacio Cortez to the presidency. None of what she supports is radical. It just feels radical in a nationwide echo chamber of white supremacy.
A 24 hour Work Stop begins tonight at 12am. Call in sick. Go to work late, leave early, (your employer may protest with you) buy local, boycott the wealthy. Ask your family, friends and coworkers to participate as well. We need to stop tRump!

It reminds me of the videos I've seen from Martin Luther King or John F Kennedy. It's 445am right now, but I feel inspired and motivated. It's an amazing speech!! I hope Americans are inspired, too.
Given that I’ve noticed them use gambits that Harris’s team was using last year, I’d suspect the DNC is funding this. What I would do is fund but keep apparent influence hands-off to preserve the appearance of anti-establishment to build support for left-leaning independents.
Let them stay laser focused on the midterms like Chuckles & mLeader Jeffries want. This has nothing to do with the DNC… we need a new party working toward new institutions
As a kid my fam drove 6 hrs from outside Chicago to northern Wis for summer vacation. From passing cars' license plates we learned state mottos: IL's Land of Lincoln, WI's The Dairy State. But when a car from NH passed, I remember thinking Live Free or Die seemed... harsh. I finally get it. GO AOC!
If you could not make it to the rally, get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps in DC and resist. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate. https://www.nationalfinancialplan.com
True, but this Canadian is fine letting them own that title. Personally, I don’t ever want to be considered American and have no doubt 90% of Canadians would say the same
It is good to hear from you. Thank you! When I was a child there was a strong push back on the US constantly appropriating everything. Including titles. US privilege is violent and I'd like to play a role in putting an end to our arrogance.
We did great the first time! We MUST to do even better this time! We WILL resist! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends, family & neighbors. Share and make everyone aware.
I wonder if it was the crowd that had her speaking louder but I didn't like this style from her. She's usually more real and this was very politican shouty and ugh.
I'm a moderate Dem, and I'll probably disagree with half of her policy proposals, but if she's the nominee in 2028 she'll have my vote and funding support. I'd also like to see Jason Crow, and Seth Moulton, and other vets (Kunce, Lamb) step up NOW. Argue the *patriotic* case in public, NOW.
So many young people in that audience who are not going to settle for an old man & his oligarchy destroying their future robbing them of the lives & opportunities their parents were guaranteed.
He wants to take them back to a time that he feels life was better (for him). They don’t want to lose their rights & reject what he is offering -an old man stuck in the past. BS talks about moving forward, giving them a future by investing in them - housing, healthcare, cleaner industries etc.
Every single one of you have to take Alexandria’s words and live by them every day - dismantle the greed state, the entitlement state and the oppressive state. Kia kaha noho kaha
what’s great about this is its giving her a practice run for whatever she wants next. I think she could challenge the whole system and win the 2028 primary with speeches like this.
We have Russian agents in the White House conflict of interest we have an illegal president in the White House that admitted they rigged the elections but yet nothing was done Putin is in charge of the US now this will not stand
All that and still no mention of removing the orange disqualified insurrectist😠. This is nothing more than performative campaigning. All 535 of them need to go for aiding and abetting the orange disqualified insurrectist😡.
The white supremacist racist conservative FAKE Christians - aka MAGA Republicans - are about to find out that their reach has far, far, FAR exceeded their grasp.
Of course I would like to see that happen. It just seems, that that the voters are incapable to make it real. Kamala was a solid candidate, infinite competence level above the current asshole, and still America chooses white dumbass nazi to "lead" the country. 🤷♂️
America will not elect a woman. Period. It’s deplorable, but true for the foreseeable future. AOC is fulfilling a vital role in protecting democracy. With luck, she’ll motivate enough voters to put a Democrat in the White House. It’s difficult to accept this, but it won’t be a woman.
Priority #1 is to find a democrat candidate that is going 100% to win !!!!
In 2020, Joe Biden wasn't the best or the favorite candidate, but he sure was the right one as he won !!
AOC & Pete Buttigieg are both young & fantastic candidates but it is the republican votes we need to bring in.
Bullshit! We do not need – nor will we ever get – fucking #FascistGOP votes! JFC!🤦🏻♀️
We just need all the Democrats & Independents to actually get out there & #VoteBlue instead of not bothering to vote at all – or voting 3rd-party, which is just as bad!
Fuck that shit. I'm not one to purity test because I understand more than most that sometimes I gotta compromise on a few things which is normal- not everyone will have my opinions. BUT, I'm not voting for conservatives in blue. I'm not voting for Biden or Kamala conservative types any more.
Andy Beshear of Kentucky would make a great Democratic nominee for president. For one thing, he would mobilize FEMA and give it the funding needed for victims of natural disasters.
His state has been through these disasters.
There are ways to do it. Newsom, Whitmer- fkd up royally, but best 2 know. It's a good time even for an unknown & it would be best to keep out of touch Dem dinosaurs from choosing.
(Preferably at this point an actual economist w some foreign policy experience 🥴😵💫👍)
You're right. I love her too, but it's pretty clear they won't vote for a woman, we've tried that twice. They lost, if we want to remain a democracy we need a candidate they will vote in.
This is a movement — of the people, for the people, by the people. Red states and blue states do not matter, nor should they ever be used to pit Americans against each other.
One AOC has more strength and leadership than two Hakeem Jeffries. The major difference is sincerity. She speaks from the heart, not a scripted donor ask sheet.
She was not raised in the money and affluence. She understands privilege and that as much as it offers in opportunities it destroys in compassion and relatability.
I know this is a long shot that isn't likely to happen but I like an AOC/Crocket team. Both women are extremely intelligent, outspoken and strong. In a word: badass.💕
Sad to say this but there are a lot of people who really do not a smart empowered woman as a president right now let alone two charge of running our country. I learned that after reading the Maga posts every where.
Even over 25 years working in a vets home I heard it. When Hilary was running it hit a fervor. But before that there wew folks even against having female vice presidents come into that office. Glass ceiling was there. But it also is misogyny.
I forgot about that. In her defense though, she wasn't against it, she was just wrong about it. Tbh I'd vote for Hakeem Jeffries before I voted for AOC. Even Cory Booker looks promising. We're a long way away from elections though.
You better hope not Star. She voted with MTG to protect Russian Oligarch Money. Bernie said we should defund the military and take the money to fund low cost housing - instead of taking it from the American Oligarchy to do so. They are as isolationist and stupid as MAGA - sorry.
Did you also have ever feeling that you hear someone who is categorically in opposition, but you know they do shit about change? So that's I have from democrats in US right now.
AOC polling ahead of @schumer.senate.gov by double digits (per Politico) as the next senator from NY so I'd also take next senate leader if it's not @chrismurphyct.bsky.social or @booker.senate.gov

I was so impressed when she first came on scene the live streaming Casual town halls she did from her little apt sitting on the floor. Real talk by a real human about real issues, fears, concerns, hopes & dreams of the everyday American citizens.
Too late for these rallies now. These are just empty words unless #Democrats grow a spine. The US is now fully a #FascistState. This #AuthoritarianRegime will defy the #SupremeCourt, #Congress and all law and order ever defined in the #Constitution. #DemocracyHasFallen 💯

So AOC is going to bring Utah?
Not just the loudest, not just the strongest—

The evilgenitals/religious nutters convinced the rubes in this country that peace and love is weak, while hatred and cruelty is macho.
That's what happened. 🤮

Keep fighting 👊
We want this one.
But I guess that too worked out for the better... without that chairmanship, she's free to do all these rallies & be everywhere all the time.
We choose Democracy!

It's a great way to feel like an American again. 🇺🇲

I will fight for all of US
Sorry.
She won't run but can keep the pack together until an Alpha comes along. Bernie doesn't have it.
I can’t believe it’s even still legal!
https://youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?si=DRGQhSoMg7C37iJP
The temerity!
This is a smart, intelligent woman. She has beautiful ideas, compassion, and she isn’t afraid to work hard.
The strength of normalcy and compassion. Of society and hope.
And all of us standing in unison. Even in Utah.

Make a great secretary of state
I would vote for her without hesitation. I think Bernie is rubbing off on her.
Why is America too afraid of strong women but not a 34 count felon?

Gracias!
That’s POWER!
Wouldn't count on it
Hopefully, she will get 67% including those who wouldn’t vote for a black woman.
Won't it be too late?
One question for this amazing lady, HOW????
