This video is such a clear sign to me that she's not only thinking of running but could win a general election

The proliferation of AI data centers is probably the most discussed domestic issue atm, uniting both the right and left against what they view as heartless corporate overlords who will do anything to increase their wealth, especially at the expense of average joes

I mean you literally have rural, southern Republicans not only correctly identifying the ultra wealthy as the cause for a real, material issue in their daily lives, but they explicitly say that the government should be helping to defend and protect them against these greedy tech companies. AOC and any other leftist candidate would be right to strike while the iron is hot

He wouldn't be my number 1 pick in a Dem primary, but his platform would be a welcome addition to the debate discourse and help shift the Overton window to propel an AOC type candidate

His recent public appearances find him distancing the further left wing of the party from "Woke 1", attempting to rebrand it in the minds of average voters as a more aggressive but common sense economic agenda, he supports Medicare for All, a wealth tax on billionaires, a national industrial investment bank, housing abundance, and tuition free public college. Also comes from Bucks County, PA

The list of Democrats makes me want to end it all.

No Abdul is crazy at least as a long shot

It's that time already?

Didn't they just allow unlimited campaign spending too?

Gonna be a s***show

Looking at the list of dems potentially running

Ossoff seems like the only legitimate/strong candidate on there

Trump should be in there as Most likely or Plausible. He ain't just walking out

Exciting

Forgot to include Elisa Slotkin who is definitely running. F*** her

Ready to be disappointed lmao don’t even gaf anymore

fwiw

If Vance is the nom it’s going to be so sickening to hear the “electability” argument from moderates when literally anyone the Dems run can beat him

These polls mean nothing at this point, it’s just a sign of high name ID

Ugh

that or

newsom gotta b garbage for harris to b pollin better lol
buttigieg scary cus he did get a considerable amt of traction before w allat billionaire funding.

aoc dat low

vance such a dunce idk how anyone is finding him compelling

curious @op
uon foresee any 3rd party sleeper candidates or celebs (i.e., the rock/oprah/etc)?

August 17, 2026 odds

I like AOC well enough but i genuinely think right has spent a full decade s***ting on her that she cannot win

In general the first woman president is more likely to be a republican. She just needs to be blonde and have some level of bust/ s***appeal
