AOC (@aoc.bsky.social) does have the skill to be a real contender.
But if she chooses to surround herself with the same DC lifers who ran Dem campaigns into the ground, always counsel being nice to the establishment & always have their eye on their next DC gigs, then she'll probably lose.

Look, I live in a country with a liberal Jewish woman who went to college in San Francisco and I love that.
But red states USA are not gonna support.
Also, I'm not a fan of Obama and think he was kind a fluke and phenomenally ineffective partly because of his color and partly because he was a corporate toady.
I've considered running for office, but I'm almost ashamed to say I'm too scared. I feel like in this climate, It'd be risking the safety of my family
(I know this next is petty...)
But I'm just not ready to handle a campaign or an administration with someone that has the voice of an 8yr old.
🤷🤷
Jon Stewart would clearly have the easiest win out of all Americans, and he could run anti-corporations/anti-corruption and the oligarchy couldn't beat him.
