I've been calling AOC for President for years. It just was an obvious trajectory to me. Incredibly popular, close and obviously special relationship to Bernie, and liberals like her. Bernie lost in part because liberals really hated him. But they like her, so it's a layup.
English
@MalloryMovies So she shouldn’t do something because it’s not “tactically beneficial”? Why not just become a fully corrupt corporate shill at that point?…assuming she isn’t one yet
English
AOC already has done 2 and 3, not that she’ll ever get credit from her detractors who have a maniacal obsession with misrepresenting her views and record, but I’d like to address the first point: she should not apologize. There is literally zero tactical benefit to doing so. /1
Kate Willett@katewillett
AOC could win back good will from former supporters (like me) by simply: 1. Apologizing for her “working tirelessly for ceasefire” lie. 2. Clearly stating she opposes SELLING weapons to Israel. 3. Adding pro Palestine advisors. Russiagate Bernie Bros 2 won’t win voters.

@tenantny87 @delmoi @ryangrim The centrist pundit class now thinks they should manufacture their own Joe Rogan in order to compete because they refused to go on the show in 2024

AOC did not actually object to the Bernie-Rogan interview. As I reported in my book, she thought it was a tactical mistake to post a video on twitter bragging about it, because it was a certainty it would cause an uproar. Her argument was lean into it where it helped, but don't inflame where it will hurt.
(What actually ended up happening suggests her argument had merit, on a tactical level.)

When Bernie went on Rogans podcast during the 2020 race, AOC objected and it caused a lot of internal grumbling in the campaign. She has a hard time ever communicating with anyone outside her ideological bubble.

I can't believe this primary is still three months away.

@uluburlu @PollTracker2024 it will be a lot closer than against Stevens or McMorrow, that is for sure

@Ericrse37986 @shshshdshf With Bernie it was concern trolling about his heart attack and general health. This was in 2020 mind you, before the genocide and before the democrat base turned on the I/P issue
English
@Ericrse37986 @shshshdshf The real answer is that the Israel lobby doesn’t actually make Israel a campaign issue. They obfuscate & hit the progressives where they’re weak.
W/ Bush and Bowman it was that they voted down Biden’s BBB. W/ these guys it’s that they’re rich billionaires.

Why is it so easy for pro-Israel PACs to buy elections, but not for Saikat and Steyer?

Not going to watch this but K-hive is giving critical support to AOC. Probably not a good sign!
2RawTooReal@2RawTooReal
Leftist throwing AOC under the bus for Marjorie Taylor Greene is predictable white supremacy (Maybe I was wrong about her)
English
@adamjohnsonCHI @altleftto So there will be a wide lane for anyone who wants to split from the pro-Israel uniparty and form a new party, correct?
English
Forgive me for being cynical but I just watched 10yrs of “realignment” media guys promise me there was an authentic antiwar movement in MAGA then Trump got in office, starved Gaza and Cuba, kidnapped Maduro, continued the genocide, attacked Iran and increased the DOD budget 50%

@SargonAlmighty @RachelBitecofer @SarahLongwell25 @SarahAMatthews1 Her polls went down after her announcement

You can keep saying Kamala lost due to a single day of campaigning with Liz Cheney, but it will never be true. She lost because Dems renominated an unpopular 82 yo while inflation was high and realized what a disaster it was too late and plan B was mid.
David Sirota@davidsirota
The Resistance Dems/Never Trump corporate faction of the Dem Party that remains hostile to Graham Platner is also the party faction that cheered Dems proudly embracing Dick & Liz Cheney, the duo who lied America into war & created authoritarian powers Trump is now wielding 🤔

@riplaika @RachelBitecofer @SarahLongwell25 @SarahAMatthews1 What? She almost pulled it off but had limited runway.
English
@barbarismcrit @fullslack_ I think it’s worse, she’s going to run it back to Warren’s 2020 campaign in 2028.
Her wanting to stop campaigning for Bernie after he promoted Joe Rogan, baseless accusations of sexism whenever criticisized from her left, etc.
English
@riplaika @fullslack_ Def think it’s more about that than anything. Comity always takes precedence over policy in Congress. It’s infuriating.
English
Some people try to say “oh AOC strategically waits until closer to the election to endorse” but in today’s political landscape endorsements early to build awareness and momentum while maintaining that momentum nonstop is necessary. Late endorsements are risky & careless.

@katewillett @KyleDChurch Note that she’s stayed silent on Abdul’s race this year thus far. Last time he ran for something statewide she supported him cnn.com/videos/politic…
English
@riplaika Yeah man the party of Peter Theil and Miriam Adleson is gonna get right on that
English
@barbarismcrit @fullslack_ I was about to ask this but the last time I checked the answer was “no”
English
@fullslack_ I’m curious if she endorses at all. Has she ever endorsed against a Warren candidate?
English
@RachelBitecofer @SarahLongwell25 @SarahAMatthews1 “She needed more time for her approvals to tank even more after her initial declaration”
English
@SarahLongwell25 @SarahAMatthews1 Plan b was forced on them. She started her campaign 90 days out. No time for a nomination
English
@mplszinnia @TheCheldo_23 @neeratanden @CatherineM0yim You can say a lot of things about it but you can’t say they’re losing members.
English
@riplaika @TheCheldo_23 @neeratanden @CatherineM0yim So you're endorsing but you're not really endorsing but you're kind of endorsing. Sounds like a very weird organization, no wonder you folks keep losing members all the time lol
English
I really like Tom Steyer - I have known him a long time. But I have to say I find it so funny that DSA is endorsing a Billionaire who started his career at Goldman Sachs.
Popstonox@Popstonox
California DSA voter guide recommends Tom Steyer "The most progressive of the current viable candidates for governor is Tom Steyer. Time will tell whether he’s truly a class traitor."
