  • still counts if he is VP in '28 or '32
  • had to get the take in at the last second tonight before he wins the primary tomorrow
  • inb4 "he isn't a socialist" i know, im not wish casting, just saying what is 70% likely to happen.
  • inb4 "electing succdems won't make the revolution" i know, im not wish casting, just saying what is 70% likely to happen
  • imo a succdem imperial core is far preferable to a fascist one, from any non-fascist perspective.

Edit: I miswrote my statement last night. If AOC wins, she will be running for a second term. If she doesn't win, the path is clear for AES.

If AOC miraculously becomes the Dem candidate, everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders (so 99% of the country) will rally behind JD Vance or whoever the Republicans field. Every single media outlet will work to prevent someone even moderately progressive from winning.

If you are paying attention, you will see that they are losing. Gaza and Iran have pierced the veil of what the media are able to contain.

They are in power, you do realize they are not trying that hard?

Not sure what you mean by this. Both events happened in the last 3 years.

It will take a decade at least for the consequences to permeate through the electoral system and [potentially] chip away at the power of the political establishment. Americans yearn for social democracy (which i have strong personal political disagreements with, of course).
