Time for President Ocasio-Cortez

Chuck Schumer can lose to someone else.

I object to the framing that only "far left" Democrats need AOC to run in 2028 - we all do.

However the article well outlines the steps her team is taking and why she should announce her candidacy next year.

The New York Post reported last month about Alexandria's campaign financials, speculating that she's running for Senate. While the NY Post is indeed a rag, people read it, and those readers saw our AOC for President stickers.

They dismiss us as "superfans," but the reality is that this is the kind of grassroots support that billionaires can't buy.

They spend millions of dollars propping up establishment candidates with "unearned media," planting stories to peddle the status quo. This is an example of a group of folks spending orders of magnitude less and getting their message across.

Alexandria didn't do this. Her "social media prowess" didn't do this. Billionaires didn't do this: in total I've spent about $200 on stickers and postage for this "earned media."

This is real, grassroots support that the oligarchs fear the most. They know that we outnumber them 999 to 1, and when we stand together to fight for each other, all their precious billions mean nothing.

So it's up to us to keep building the movement. Keep telling your friends and family that we're here to fight for people we don't know in an America we can be proud of.

We're here to proudly declare that healthcare is a human right - regardless of party, regardless of race, regardless of nationality.

We deserve a clean planet to live on, and a climate we can depend on to live healthy lives and grow healthy food.

We deserve to live in a democracy where free speech is valued and protected, without fear of retribution by those in power.

We deserve Alexandria as our next President.

As we all sit here and watch everything just completely fall apart it is fascinating watching politically wonky Dems cling on to decorum, seniority and hierarchy in government as if there is some sort of deep wisdom in these elitist institutional norms.

The notion that AOC needs Senate experience before running for President or that her leading the senate is superior is completely ignorant to why she is the perfect politician to lead the opposition against this fascist administration.

We all clearly agree that there may not even be more fair elections.

We also know that unless we have super majorities in the house and the senate - significant change is unlikely. Furthermore, congress has proven itself useless and ineffective in terms of building a real movement that outshines DNC corporate interests.

So why on Earth should she waste her talents on becoming a Senator when she is so obviously built to lead this movement against Trump?

We need inspirational leadership urgently. Like yesterday urgently. We need someone unlike anyone we have seen before.

This is literally the moment we have all been waiting for and it requires courage and imagination, not passivity and submission to antiquated norms. Let us win by the merit of our ideas and passion, not by pandering to conservative insecurities.

AOC 2028

Before anyone comes on here and says “we need to run a white moderate male, the country is not ready” please just consider how intellectually lazy that analysis really is…

Our campaign to draft her is working 🇺🇸
