According to Jason Lemon, senior politics editor at Newsweek, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is increasingly being discussed as a leading star within the Democrat Party. He writes, “with some suggesting she could be a 2028 contender for the party’s presidential nomination.
Lemon suggests this is their response to their defeat in the 2024 election.
Ocasio-Cortez “has emerged as one of the Democrats many see to be pushing back in a way that resonates with the party’s base,” the editor writes.
He notes she has held massive rallies with [fellow communist] Bernie Sanders. He doesn’t mention that the same thousands appear at every radical rally and protest. It’s thousands, but it’s still the minority in the Democrat Party.
“A CNN poll from March 6 to 9 showed that Ocasio-Cortez was the top politician among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents when asked which “one person best reflects the core values” of the party, Lemon wrote.
“While Ocasio-Cortez may be seen as best at representing the party’s values, a poll carried out by Morning Consult from March 14 to 16 showed her in third place,” with Harris and Buttigieg leading. She tied with anti-Tesla Tim Walz in Minnesota and fell behind the fellow who helped burn down California, Gavin Newsom.
Other polls had Harris ahead. The candidates who are leading are Marxists.
AOC’s Leading Role
This follows a report by The Hill claiming she “is positioning herself in a leading role among Democrats as discontent grows among the party’s base in the second Trump era.
“Ocasio-Cortez is on the road with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as part of their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour aimed at rallying Democrats. The progressive congresswoman has also been one of the loudest critics of Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) decision to vote for a House GOP-drafted government funding bill last week, so much so that she’s been floated as a potential primary challenger against him.
The “fighting oligarchy” tour? What kind of fresh Hell is this? Progressives set up a judicial oligarchy.
Cortez is “someone who could fill what critics say is a leadership vacuum within the party.
“Some of the most effective, strategic, and response leadership happening at this moment is coming from Rep. Ocasio-Cortez. And she’s doing it better than many Democrats that we see nationally,” said Abbas Alawieh. He is a senior progressive strategist. “She is reminding the party what real leadership that is responsive to the energy of movements actually looks like.”
‘Progressive’ is the keyword here. The Progressives of the 1920s and of today are communists.
Sen. Chuck Schumer recently backed off from closing down the government because it would have hurt the party more than not. This became the impetus for the Marxist oligarchy fighters tour.
The Town Halls and MSM The Hill article noted that “angry constituents” are showing up at town halls. These are the same Marxists who go to rallies, protests, and riots. Many are paid. They come from Progressive groups. The crowds include the Indivisibles, The Troublemakers, Move On, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, and the Democratic Socialists of America. All but Move On, funded by people like George Soros and Hillary Clinton, are Act Blue-funded projects.
In a New York Times article, As the Left Looks to 2028, It Waits on Ocasio Cortez’s Big Decision:
“Though there is little agreement about who will emerge to guide progressives into a post-Sanders era, virtually everyone interviewed said there was one clear leader for the job: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.”
The Guardian article, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the courage to brawl for the working class say they are rallying huge crowds with a message to reshape the Democratic party. They don’t mention the crowds are Marxists.
Reshape means Progressives are making their move to take full control of the party. It’s their opportunity.
NBC News: “Democrats are desperately searching for new leaders. AOC is stepping into the void. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is hitting the road with Bernie Sanders this week as even once-skeptical Democrats seek to elevate the progressive star in their fight against Trump.”
NBC notes, “Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif, publicly urged Ocasio-Cortez to launch a primary challenge against Schumer in 2028 if he runs for re-election, and several House Democrats told NBC News that her colleagues also privately pushed her to do so at a party retreat last week.”
The Peacock network mentioned the “massive crowds” but failed to mention who the crowds represent.
Monica Crowley Weighs In Lisa Boothe asked Monica Crowley about Sandy Cortez’s chances in a Fox News segment on Friday.
Crowley said AOC has “tremendous grassroots support.” She was an “early adopter of social media” and is constantly “connecting directly to voters.”
However, Crowley doesn’t think she will change people’s minds in 2028. “The lesson of this last 2024 election and Donald Trump’s landslide mandate victory is that the country has had enough of the radical Left. It’s had enough of socialism; it’s had enough of cancel culture and wokeness. And it rejected roundly all of those things. So, I don’t think in four short years the country is going to say, ‘We need more communism.'”
What about in eight if the Democrat Party is only the Progressive Party, or is that a done deed? What Democrats, outside of John Fetterman, are moderate?
That was from her first term campaign...........
Do it! AOC for President—waltz for VP to go up against JD Vance and Laura Trump in 2o28. We shall see how that works out. My not run Sanders—at least he’s honest about being a communist?
When Terry McAuliffe was DNC Chair, and they lost the 2004 election, he was asked by a reporter if the reason they lost was the Democrat Party had become ‘TOO LIBERAL’.
He EMPHATICALLY replied, “NO! It’s because we WEREN’T LIBERAL ENOUGH!”.....................
Meanwhile, the few sober minded people at the DNC are being muzzled. The far, far, far left controls the Democrat Party apparatus, and they will lead their party to total destruction.
What a nuclear bomb that would be on our nation! ....imho
She’s getting porky. That may be a plus on the Democrat side.
Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a feedbag over it!...............
I guess this make sense to someone who is insane. “We’ll try even harder to lose”.
AOC is even getting herself all fat like Hillary so she can run.
She is “puttin’ in the Ritz”.
As one Democrat pundit/analyst put it last week, “The Democrat party is actually THREE parties.”
He was meaning the conservative Dems, typically Southern and Midwestern, the far Left Progs from East and West Coasts, and the so-called ‘Moderates’ in the Middle America.
The Conservatives have practically become extinct or silenced so badly that they are invisible, being forced out by the Far Left and the ‘Moderates’ are, as usual, as their name implies, vacillating between joining the Far Left or shutting up entirely.
Their party has been hijacked by the progs and there is no way to get them out of control. The DNC is entirely progs so ALL their candidates that they support are too........
I think you are correct. She reviews the field and sees it empty of talent (not that she’s got any).
It’s their ideology.
It’s is so deeply ingrained in their psyches that they cannot and will not ever blame their policies for their failures.
And now that the progs have taken over the party, THERE WILL BE NO COMPRIMISES, it’s ALL or NOTHING.
Just look at what they are doing to Schumer. He knew this would happen...................
Presidente Cortez? I don’t think so
Marxism (what they've re-labeled 'social democracy') promotes violence and revolution. It's an important part of their playbook. To your point, yes, these self-characterized compassionate and caring people would support violence against you - if they thought it would elevate them and their 'cause'.
She’s a product of the MSM.
A Democrat primary debate between AOC and Jasmine Crockett would be epic.
AOC is the Rachel Zegler of politics.
I say AOC “A-ock”
AOC is the Zelig of politics...............(Woody Allen Movie)...........
The DNC would not allow that to happen.................
