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?
I don't think AOC has a brain in her head. She's so stupid she's almost likable.;-)
We ought to never underestimate our opponents. Women of mediocre minds like her “You Go Girl!” vibe and her defiant attitude. Men, generally, thinks she’s sexy. Shouldn’t make for a Presidential candidate, but here we are...
Did she ever figure out what a garbage disposal is?
I remember back in 2007-08 telling my wife there's no way the American people are going to vote for I guy named "Barack Hussein Obama" just seven years after Sept. 11th. Boy, was I wrong!
I wouldn't put it passed TPTB and the MSM to make an AOC candidacy into the Second Coming of Christ.
After the Great Joe O’Biden, why not? She isn’t demented and she is sufficiently unmented to be a good puppet and besides, she is a pretty face, even with the psychotic eyes.
An AOC presidential candidate in the fall of 2028 will be the end of the Democrat party.
Oh, I hope she’s at the top of the ticket!
Ocrazio-Cortex 2028!.................
Yes!!! She should run for POTUS and make the MadMaxiPad her running mate.
It would be a great combo and the communist party would rejoice greatly!!!...LOL
“US Media: “Leading Star” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for President”
just when you thought the Dems couldn’t scrap the bottom of the barrel even deeper, seeking dregs lower, stupider, and more unpopular than their most recent dregs, Kamala Harris ...
still, i guess the Dems believe their bottom-of-the-barrel strategy will somehow miraculously improve their electability ... no doubt, that would work in Bizarro World, but is quite a questionable strategy in our world ...
That’s one ugly jackass. And that horse is homely too.
Replacing a crazy drunk with a sober crazy.
I say go for it.
“The far, far, far left controls the Democrat Party apparatus, and they will lead their party to total destruction.”
true enough ... but it seems to me more like the hard-left propaganda media are the ones pushing and publicizing the cray-cray branch of the DNC, constantly putting their antics on the “news”, while ignoring whatever non-crazy sliver remains of the DNC ... that’s a deliberate choice by the legacy propaganda media, and i don’t understand what they think they are accomplishing by putting ONLY the Dem crazies front and center ...
does the fake stream media REALLY believe they’re helping the Dems win elections by pushing the Dems even further into craziness and further away from what the majority of regular folks actually want? ... or maybe it’s just a short-term financial survival strategy because the hard left is the only group willing to pony up bucks in one way or another to the fake stream media?
She’s always been out to be a political ‘celebrity’......loves the cameras.
The RATS didn’t have enough with one retard in the White House?
She is soooooo way in over her head. Anytime she's touted in any way, I always look back at the video snippet of her immediate shock and astonishment that she won the Primary election over the #5 Democrat in the House. It is probably the last sincere moment she has had in public. It's also a pretty stark admission of how "in over her head" she truly is.
As the Great and Powerful Obama once said: "Never underestimate Joe Biden's ability to f*** things up."
From Obama's last year in office, the Dems ran Crooked Hillary and got shocked beyond belief...
then they ran Biden, and *ahem* pulled out all the stops, shall we say, and won what might be the biggest Phyrric victory in modern history...
then they appointed Kamala, and lost ground at just about every demographic and every majority possible...
So next they want to go with AOC, and have the third consecutive failure of a "historic first", still trying to recreate Obama's "historic first"?
White female? Nahhhhh...
Black female? Nahhhhh...
Hispanic female? What could possibly go wrong???
ROFLMBO
see my posts 91 & 94 ...
Occasional Cortex (Kudos to Rush for the proper naming) should NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HAVE A FINGER ANYWHERE NEAR THE “Football” !!!
I’m not sure if OC should even have a finger near a telephone keypad button.
WE THE PEOPLE don’t want another puppet show to be in OUR Whitehouse and Capitol, Lord knows We have enough of that in congress (see Tagline) as it is.
Do the Demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminaziguanopathicpedophilegoatrapers put together an Absurd and Ridiculous Tank (opposite of a Think Tank) to come up with this $}{!T ?!?!?
