NYC DSA may push for AOC 2028 presidential bid with scheme to recruit new members
New York Post ^ | November 11, 2026 | Carl Campanile

The city chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America will consider formally pushing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for US president in 2028 — with plans for her campaign to grow their lefty ranks.

The DSA will vote on a resolution at the group’s convention Saturday that asks member AOC to run with gushing language calling her one of the “most widely beloved members of the Democratic Party.”

DSA co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser signed the proposed resolution for Ocasio-Cortez, who is fresh off a reelection win in a deeply blue New York House district.

“AOC is one of the most recognizable figures in US politics, the most popular Democrat in Congress, and is one of the most widely beloved members of the Democratic Party alongside other democratic socialists like Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani,” states the resolution, obtained by The Post.

The proposal boasts that Ocasio-Cortez’s grassroots support has turned her into one of the most prolific fundraisers in American politics coming “almost entirely from small dollar donors.”

If members vote to pass the resolution it would not serve as an official endorsement, which could still come later if she decides to run.

An AOC candidacy will help grow DSA’s membership as well as advance its left-wing agenda, the resolution says.

“A winning presidential campaign creates enormous opportunity to deliver a democratic socialist agenda that puts working-class people back in control of their own lives,” it says.

“Mobilizing a mass campaign around an AOC 2028 presidential run will create an unprecedented chance for member recruitment and mobilization, direct engagement with voters, the promotion of our values, and the continued crafting of a platform that engages the working class,” the proposal states.

I’ve said for years that she will run and now, I’ll add that she will very likely win. Without regard for all derogatory comments, her political ascent equals Obamas.

Doubtful, she’s supporting Jeffries for speaker.

Whatever they do if we do not learn the lesson of mass propaganda like Van Jones described, we’re toast. Voters were bombarded with negative messages on data centers, economics, and Iran so much so that the indoctrination was severe enough no positive message could get through.
Any talk about numbers meant nothing when they were made to feel bad about subjects. You could not discuss Reality once they were dragged down. Kinda like an injection of TDS.

AOC doesn’t even have enough support among Democrats in Congress to get a committee chair position.

Why not, she's an idiot and a fool. My fear is they will nominate someone competent.

It's going to be AOC/El-Sayed OR El-Sayed/AOC in 2028.

VP after the death of Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge said “I do not choose to run...” and wrote that on a note to the Secretary to the President (old office until 1946—paid $2,500 a year at first) and then gave torn slips of paper with the statement to everyone in a group of reporters.

“The death of his son, Calvin Jr., in 1924, took a heavy toll on the president, which some say led to clinical depression. “When he died, the power and the glory of the Presidency went with him”, Coolidge later wrote in his autobiography.” — Wikipedia.

He ran and won, of course.

You bring up a good point!

I believe Free Republic is being inundated with a lot of the Democrat
Propaganda that Van Jones spoke of.

It is not uncommon to see a Freeper assume a negative position and spread that
same negative position through several different threads in the same day.

Why would people be on this site if they hate it so much, when Democrat Underground is available to them?

Anyhow, I think it is something we should be aware of..

I miss Jim. He would be conducting a major website purge of all these fake conservatives who trash Trump in every thread!

I can’t imagine this airhead running anything.
Did you hear her in Europe?
She speaks the Kamala word salad language.
During a war she’d be in her psychiatrist’s office with Talacreepo getting ketamine treatments.
