Big Time! Time to "chuck" Chuck and get some leadership ready to fight for our Constitution! Step aside and go sign some books Chuck. That seems to be your priority.
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi was a highly effective leader in the House. But when she decided to assert herself from the sidelines to keep AOC from getting a leadership position, that was a bridge too far for me. 🤬
AOC kept AOC from getting power. Not Pelosi. That's just more anti-Pelosi nonsense.
AOC spent years stabbing Dems in the back by trashing the party. Trying to primary Dems who didn't conform to purity politics from her JDs/DSAs, and by voting against Dem bills. She was not going to be a Dem leader
She brings great energy and I like her - I think she would make a great NY Senator at some point. Nationally, moderates will not vote for her in a Presidential race. GOP would have an absolute field day...the attack ads write themselves.
I am an AOC fan, but I don't think she could fix what's wrong with the Democratic Party while the OG Dem establishment has a boot on her neck. She needs to break free.
I don’t disagree. I see Schumer as the one in power and AOC is being very nearly his direct opposite. I fully favor her rise to power because I think she’s pissed off enough to do some good.
Maybe her children. Voting is utterly and completely moot until the current administration is out of the WH. Spoiler alert, they won’t be out in 26 or 29. No way Putin gives the reins back without a war.
A member of our team has been arrested for having her name change on her Identification card. She is a trans woman and is on the men’s side of the facility which is dangerous for a trans woman to be
If we voted today for someone to be in Democratic leadership it would be AOC! I have know questions about it! She has the fight we need & the guts we need now!!! Intelligence & beyond! 🇺🇲
Yes, but we need her taking action, not talking at rallies. what are rallies doing to stop thrump? It's infuriating. Who in the democratic party is doing SOMETHING to secure elections and thwart the madness? Thank you. #callsthemdforbpmeds
It looks like she’s becoming the democratic leader — it’s about time to pass it on to the next generation and get all of the old white maga males out of there (I’m not trying to be ageist here). There are a few dem males that need to go as well.
Even the moderate gutless GOP are following the MAGA klan now. It's time for moderate Dems & the Indies to make a choice. Extreme MAGA servitude, hated across the world. Or the Libs, "wasting" money trying to make other people's lives better. As of there is a choice. More Schumer's won't help.
AOC is a brilliant girl that is relatively new to Congress. She doesn't have the moxie and negotiating skills necessary (yet) to run the entire House of Representatives.
I couldn't agree with you more and in addition leadership needs to be doing a lot more in the way of educating people of 1) what their rights are, 2) how to defend those rights and 3) educating the public on the many ways in which we can fight and take individual our group action.
It's late in this coup and they seem unable to react .At a moment when the gop have never been so vulnerable, that leadership is indecisive and hesitant.
Bernie and AOC and a few others are the only members looking at us. Making this moment an opportunity to resurrect and redefine a way forward.
DCCC and DNC will fight tooth and nail to stop AOC from having anymore power. They will do to her what they did to Bernie. They are happy to live in Trumps Fascist dictatorship rather than a progressive America.
When I see Schumer I see him with his skinny ineffectual arms in the air chanting " We will win" over and over like he's at high school football game not staring down a Nazi overthrow of our government.
AOC has tremendous charisma, but the nonpartisan, university-sponsored Center for Effective Lawmaking named her one of the least productive members of Congress, ranking her 425 of 435.
I have no objection to sending her around the country though her constituents might want her working for them.
No! We need dnc “democratic leadership” and all of its money chasing evil to just wither and dry up. Aoc Bernie jasmine and the rest need a new machine without the shackles of Hakeem Nancy and the rest

AOC for president in 2028!
She’s doing it, like we need.
Yay, finally!
If AOC works, protect and follow her and solve it now.
Now, Rich.
The Bukele piece came in too quickly.
Stop talking so much and react now.
It's one thing
Assuming that people all know what to do is wrongheaded. Part of being a leader is to inform those following you the ways in which they can fight.

Too bad dem leadership doesn't agree. She wasn't old or white enough for them, apparently. 🤦🏽

Anyone who would malign AOC is an enemy of the PEOPLE.
