lol the GOP will never let a woman lead
If she becomes the first female president, I'm probably going to off myself. High likelihood. Nonzero.
There is always a better choice.
Appreciate concern. Was joke. I'm not giving any fascist a win without a fight. My continued existence is a thorn in their side.
That's the spirit! At least take some shitty with you!
well, you take out some terrorists before hand, don't just off yourself without doing some good
Fuck I really don't want to see her face or hear her talk more. Her ads will be maddening.
As I was saying…. This ghoul is not on your side just because she is abandoning the MAGA ship.
She basically represents a district full of KKK members lmao.
This might be a good thing actually. More votes for the other side lol. But what if it’s woman vs woman?!
Lmao
I Made Jokes about exactly that. End of Line.
MAGA voters seem pretty unlikely to vote for women.
That's why we need to be promoting this as a brilliant idea
I mean it's a trippple doom for her. She's a woman, she's half way shedding maga siding with dem's on the epstein files, and on protecting healthcare, and she has a history of being outright crazy in multiple directions.
In short, I don't think her recent forays into sanity are going to erase the stain the R party has on it now, nor erase her claims of weather controlling machines and space lasers to earn any support from the left.
Then to court maga... obviously they'd need to be less sexist, and she'd need to seem more... on trumps side.
I think AOC's comment is probably right, she got snubbed for senate seat by trump... and now she's pissed and wanting to break that glass ceiling.
Newsom/Greene 2028, lmao (please let this be a joke!)
DNC: "THATS A FUCKING BRILLIANT IDEA"
if this turns out to be true, I will hate you.
in the mean time, this got a chuckle.
If there’s any organization that we can count on to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory it’s the DNC
I think you're underestimating the potential power of "vote for a woman to own the libs and show them we're not sexist. They're stupid!"
They'd be faster to transvestigate her first
Sadly, I think the only way we get a female president is if all candidates are female. AOC vs. MTG would be a good history maker.
Disagree. For one, it'd be an underwhelming point as a historic marker if it's the only option. And two, we haven't gotten a female president yet cuz the women we keep running are shit candidates. Sexism is absolutely a factor, but I don't think it compares to the absolute fuckton of baggage (actual or perceived - doesn't matter) that comes with Hillary, or Harris's last minute embrace of Israel's genocide.
We haven't actually tried running a woman who's also a decent human being. AOC would wipe the floor with her opponent's face, regardless of that opponent's gender.
She'll 100% run...
The question is if it's just a grift and she plans to drop and endorse early, or if she'll actually try to win
I'd like to laugh, but I did that with Trump and he got elected twice. Never know who fools will elect to lead.
I hope so. MAGA Republicans aren't going to vote for a woman for president. I have a feeling it would be a humiliating experience for her.
I would love MTG to be the Republican nominee. That would guarantee AOC in a head to head match up.
You over estimate Americans. People said this shit about the orange goblin. This concept of let their dumbest most pathetic candidate rise to the top so we can crush them no longer works.
Explains why she's said a few somewhat reasonable things lately as opposed to before when all she said was batshit crazy garbage.
Just another vile demagogue. And people will be dumb enough to vote for her.
NO NO NO!
she's a great candidate! let's boost her so that she beats all the other Rs so that the Ds win!
oh, we tried that? and what happened? oh, wow. maybe we shouldn't do that this time.
I mean, she is a better representation of what republicans and MAGA actually say they are. When you really dig in to what they believe they would never vote for Trump if they weren't indoctrinated into a cult that he created. He's literally against everything they stand for when you go past the surface but they are so blinded by owning the libs that they don't see it anymore. Remember before the election last year and every republican, including voters, said that Trump was poison and that they would never support him again? They know this deep down even if they won't admit it. They just either don't care, want something out of it, or are genuinely blind to him fucking everyone over. MTG used to be one of the hardcore believers and I genuinely think was brainwashed and is slowly starting to realize it.
But to be clear, I still think she is a garbage human. I just believe that deep down this is the candidate they'd actually want if they weren't so deep in the propaganda from their Dear Leader. She would actually do republican things and not just use it as a guise to become a dictator.
If a new "real maga" comes out of the current maga and allows the movement to reset its image of economic failure and child sexual abuse I'm gonna be fucking pissed.
Then be pissed, because Trumpism was never going to go away on it's own, and is only going to get worse and more powerful with time.
The "tea party" did the same thing for conservatism. The "tea party" thing morphed into the "maga" thing. The "maga" bullshit will likely go through a re-branding if Taco flames out anything like W did.
Imagine if we had a media that actually pointed out that all this bullshit was going on and not letting the Nazis burn their uniforms and pretend they never heard of W, or Pedonald, and certainly were never part of this Republican Party thing, they are just "independents" who are "taxed enough already", LOL.
Imagine if, instead of that - we had a media that didn't feel the need to be needlessly "objective" in the face of massive amounts of lying, and instead, pointed out that all these people are Republicans. That "tea bagger/tea party" == "maga" == "alt right" == conservative == Republican.
It's all the same awful people with basically the same agenda: steal money from the lower and middle class, give it to the parasitic class of elites, crush labor and let corporations rule, while using racist/misogynist policies and rhetoric to get just enough morons to vote for them. I wish we had a media that would not be shy about rigorously pointing this out and every opportunity, but most of our media is run by the very same corporations that wish to rule...
Trump put soo much of his identity into MAGA that I doubt it'll end well for her.
This sounds ridiculous of course.
But so did a Trump run, it used to be a joke when he put his hat in.
No one is laughing now.
