[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the AOC people, with the electoral college system we have how are you seeing her flip the swing states that went for Trump? The math just doesn’t add up for me. Moderate voters aren’t exactly her wheelhouse.[/quote]

Remember all the states Obama won in 08 - Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Florida, NC... He governed as a moderate but he was not viewed as one in the campaign. It's about someone who gets others excited. Not saying AOC is clearly that person who can make it happen but a lot of moderates are boring and don't generate the turnout or enthusiasm you need to win.[/quote]

Money, specifically very wealthy mega-donors, didn't have firm control of our political sysncetem 15 years ago. An AOC type has zero chance of advancing to party leadership positions in a political climate ruled by rich people who detest close the wealth divide policies. That fact sucks but that's where we are now in 2026[/quote]

That remains to be seen.  She will get her chance to try at some point.[/quote]

I hope she gets a fair chance at some point sooner than later and I hope she is given that opportunity without having to compromise her integrity by playing nice with wealthy political investors.[/quote]

It's not a gift that's given.  You can play the game and win or you can't.  A party's political nomination is not an entitlement for anyone, and pretending it is has gotten us where we are.[/quote]
