Did the DNC Build AOC a Path to the Presidency?
Substack ^ | August 9, 2026 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 08/09/2026 4:59:12 PM PDT by lasereye

Republicans and Democrats used to have a grand tradition of presidential candidates heading up to New Hampshire, putting on LL Bean jackets and trying to talk down to small groups of skeptical senior citizens in diners. It was a stupid way to choose leaders, but, like democracy itself, it was also the least bad option because it forced national candidates to get out of their comfort zones and talk to random people in a state that they would have otherwise ignored.

Then the DNC rigged the primary calendar by starting the season off with South Carolina to protect Joe Biden from any real competition in the 2024 election. The DNC claimed that it was urgent to replace New Hampshire with South Carolina for the sake of diversity, because nothing epitomizes diversity like an old white man.

New Hampshire was ordered to move its primary back. New Hampshire Dems explained that the primary dates were set by state law and that they had to proceed with the primary on the usual schedule. The DNC told Democrats not to vote in the primary and then launched a write-in campaign that Biden somehow won.

Once Biden had been ousted, the DNC could have put back the old primary calendar, instead it decided to host a showdown between South Carolina and Nevada to replace New Hampshire. Nevada and South Carolina were at the top because unlike New Hampshire they had fewer white people . The best argument for Nevada was that it was full of Latinos and the best argument for South Carolina was that it was full of black people.

And not picking South Carolina would be racist. The only question was whether not picking Nevada would be just as racist, more racist or slightly less racist.

“If South Carolina gets quietly bumped after one cycle of convenient praise, that sends a message louder than any speech at a Democratic dinner: the gratitude was performance, not policy,” Al Sharpton warned.

The DNC juggled two races until it decided that black people were the most important and so South Carolina will host the first state primary, Latinos were the second most important and so Nevada will go second, and white people were the least important, so New Hampshire would go third. Latinos however get a consolation prize with a fourth place spot for New Mexico, while fifth place goes to the all-important demographic of Hamas supporters in Michigan.

A statement by DNC leaders bragged that this was “the most diverse calendar Democrats have ever had for an open nominating contest” and the official site ranked the calendar based on the number of the 4.6 million black people, 4.2 million Latinos and 1.4 Asian Americans who live in the early window states. Sorry Asian Americans, you’ll need more votes if you want to rank.

Not only does this ensure that any emerging presidential nominee will be anti-Israel, but this also potentially sets up an AOC presidential nomination since as the most high-profile Latina and leftist candidate, she could potentially win 4 out of the first 5 primary states, and seal the deal before the other candidates even have a shot.

It's looking like AOC could be the Dem nominee in 2028. If she is elected I'll see it as a sign that the Biblical end times may be near. It's been noted that the US is nowhere in the big battle at the end. That could mean that the US will no longer be a global military power by then. President AOC could certainly get that process started.

I’d like to see her debate either Vance or Rubio. She will cry.

Much of this depends on the midterm.
If the RATS loose ME, MI and TX senate races, AOC will be gone.
My feeling is Trump is waiting till after midterms to go after MN and the Squat.

South Carolina still goes first, right? That gives a big boost to any African-American candidate (except maybe Kamala).

Latino/a/x is a fiction created by the US government. Are Mexican-Americans in Nevada or New Mexico really going to feel that Puerto Rican AOC is part of the family and worth voting for because of her skin tint?

She's a great Dem candidate until she opens her mouth and starts talking. If she didn't have to campaign, she'd be a shoo-in for the nomination.

The fact that this certified idiot is even mentioned as a presidential candidate shows how far the US has fallen.

While I’m not too familiar with Mr Greenfield, a compliment is in order. I’m pretty sure that many fine folks hereabouts learned much history re the Dems from the piece.

Here's the one to watch.

Obama redux?

Media Fawning of Senate Candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed Begins

August 9, 2026 | Sundance

Extreme leftists and white, female, overeducated, urban communists have one primary prism: how Obama-ish is their candidate?

Both El-Sayed and Barack Obama are supported by the Muslim Brotherhood directly. Both El-Sayed and Barack Obama campaigned for Senate in the mid-term election (BO ’06, ES ’26), and both Barack Obama and El-Sayed planned to run for higher office in 2nd year of their freshman term as senator.

The media now begin their fawning endeavor as the Muslim Brotherhood backed Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed tries to moderate himself in the image of Barack Hussein Obama.  I find it a little revealing that El-Sayed’s wife is a doctor who refuses to treat Medicare and Medicaid patients (cash only), as El-Sayed campaigns on Medicare for all.  Of course, don’t look for the media to point this out during questioning.

Notice also the Middle East nations that El-Sayed criticizes (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Pakistan) are the Mid-East nations who have pushed back or banned the Muslim Brotherhood.  This is very revealing for those who walk the political deep weeds. 

By the way, he’s a paper doctor; a Phd, not an MD.

“If she didn’t have to campaign, she’d be a shoo-in for the nomination.”

if only the Dems could unleash a new national killer virus in which they could lock down the nation, then AOC could campaign from her basement like Dementia Joe did, and that would solve most of AOC’s campaign problem ...
