Vox is pushing her. They ask several people in south Carolina and only show one cite Palestine against wanting her to run again. One woman says no don’t run, she’s too smart so people won’t like her.
The harshest criticism they give AIT time to is that somewhere around minute 28 a democratic insider says “the campaign needs to be Bye Bye Biden. Like the backstreet boys”. But not for any reason other than the biden campaign being unpopular
Someone here mentioned aoc should run, and yeah I think that’s the dem’s best shot if they’re trying to win
The Democrats would rather lose than win with someone even nominally left-wing. The entire media apparatus would side with the Republican candidate.
I don’t think she should or would win.
Should: Remember that “tirelessly working for a ceasefire” lie? She hitched her wagon to the genocides by running cover for them and I don’t see principled anti-imperialists on the left trusting her or rewarding her for that. Plus demonization of Venezuela, Cuba, Iran. I certainly won’t vote for her. She’s called AOCIA for a reason.
Would: she’s got terrible political instincts and has shown herself to be very fickle. That doesn’t inspire public confidence. If she won’t stand up to something as clearcut as genocide she won’t stand up for anything.
That’s… A nearly nonexistent demographic in America, though. I have no opinions on whether she would win but if she doesn’t it’s not because she’s soft on imperialism.
Edit: fuck hahaha I completely misread your post. Yeah I totally agree.
she doesn’t need hexbear votes, she needs trump fanatics to stay home, wine moms and radlibs to be enthusiastic, and to do better with black voters than sanders did.
until it happens a second time i have to think 2024 swinging on a foreign policy position is an anomaly in american politics, but maybe trump will drag this shit out long enough for “peace with iran” to be a 2028 election issue.
If Dems can’t win with aoc they can’t win with anybody.
False
