Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a slight lead over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.
The New York Democratic congresswoman, known as AOC, edges the likely Republican nominee 51% to 49%, in The Argument/Verasight survey released on Tuesday. However, the result was within the poll’s 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote for if the election was between the two of them.
Shame AOC and Bernie could not hijack the Democratic Party like Krasnov did to the fucking GOP.
I wish her the best of luck if she decides to run and she would stomp on Vance.
alexandria ocasio-cortez should indeed run for president. seriously!
…they’ll run abbott, not vance…
good
You think you’ll have elections again? Lmao
A hell of a lot needs to happen before AOC has a snowballs chance in hell in 2028. Like, Trumps impeachment — to start.
Awww, that’s fun. People think we’re going to have an election in 2028.
The DNC will use all their resources to sabotage her and place a Israeli loyalist that supports insider trading, forgiving the criminals in charge now, not reversing any of the shareholder first policies and deregulation and continuing to ratchet us to Nazi land while gaslighting us about how great the economy is because line go up for the capitalist class.
Part of the reason why social democracy is so important on the path to socialism is because line must go up for everyone or we’re totally screwed. I have no doubt the DNC will do whatever it can to undermine a candidate like AOC, but if we can implement a policy like Medicare for all, that will be a massive win for getting to the goal in more ways than one.
Or AOC will win and become what you described.
i mean she would have to, if she wanted to live.
Ahh yes… The very free and fair 2028 elections we’ll being having. The Republicans definitely won’t try every trick in the book to manipulate them or stop them outright. Nevermind establishment Dems fucking over primaries to shoehorn in their milquetoast candidates, while fucking over actual progressives!
I am so looking forward to voting our way out of fascism/ a dictatorship, as has absolutely been exhibited to work multiple times through history.
what would lenin do?
we need socialism
My fucking neighbor has a Trump 2028 sticker right under his Israeli flag
Historically strong state men love minorities and Jewish in particular
/s
I suspect that we will find that lead ballots hold more weight, when it comes to voting.
Just another example of how America is collapsing under the weight of its own corporate/oligarch dictatorship, corruption, ignorance, racism, and mental illness epidemic.
An intelligent, empathetic leader is basically tied with a traitorous, criminally sociopathic, con artist who possesses zero morals or ethics, and literally works for someone he previously called Hitler…
If the US weren’t a failed state, Trump would be in prison and Vance would be a fucking nobody.
JD Vance has zero charisma, idk how he can be in the race but, well… Trump.
Because he gets a baseline of like 35% just for having R next to his name.
Objectively during the VP debate I’d say he had more charisma than Walz if you’re dumb.
He can command a stage, but he was saying utter nonsense while doing it. Basically he said things well, but if you actually listened to his words you should see through it.
Unfortunately too many people are just there for the performance and not the facts.
It’s how 2016 Trump beat Hillary imo. The man was an actor and basically just did crowd work. Anyone with 2 braincells could see through it but well that’s not enough people
I find it ironic that Vance has talked about Europe supposedly not being democratic and supposedly not listening to the will of the people. Hillary Clinton in 2016 (whether you like her or not) got more votes than Trump. If the US respected the will of the people, they’d get rid of the electoral college, and they would have inaugurated Hillary as president.
Even when ordering a doughnut. It’s sad.
He has the backing of Big Couch
I had no idea who this JD Vance person was until he became trump’s running mate. Dude you’re not popular or interesting on your own. Don’t act like people actually like you, couch fucking baby.
His best-selling memoir was turned into a Ron Howard film that got 2 Oscar nominations. He wasn’t nobody.
You’ve been flying blind. JD’s been the spectre haunting American politics since the Obama Era. That creepy little turd’s backed his way up the drainpipe of American politics with the help of everyone from James Dobson to Oprah. He’s the Republicans’ Hillary Clinton.
He’s a Peter Thiel project. They met when Vance was in either college or law school. Shillbilly never would have met any of those people without Thiel’s help. Probably would never even have gotten a book deal trashing his family.
Ron Howard directed JD Vance’s biopic in 2020.
For anyone that isn’t aware of it: Hillbilly Elegy
At first I misread that as Howard Stern.
I was imagining him sitting around with a couple of strippers making a bunch of couch fucker jokes.
It’s not too late. We can still have this movie made! Somebody call Stern’s agent!
Fuuuuck yes!!!
People didn’t want Kamala because she wasn’t democratically elected as the leader of the party in a primary so they let full blown fascism take over instead. They felt it was more important to send the Democrats a message instead of actually keeping some minimal form of democracy and freedom. 🙄
So they’ll probably not vote for AOC if she becomes leader of the Democratic party anyway because of some minor excuse, like how she supported Israel’s right to exist, or something. And the US will end up with a third Trump mandate.
I hope the US will prove me wrong. My hope in Americans doing the right thing is pretty low.
Kamala pr was so terrible that she lost because of the issue of economy and border protection
This is off topic but God does she have a pretty smile.
The faces of democratic socialism: AOC, Kat Abughazaleh, Zohran Mamdani
The face of the GOP: [ insert bloated face Vance meme here ]
Kat and Zohr too, yeah. Gorgeous people. Brother Zohr might just be the most photogenic of all of them, ngl. Coming from me as a cis het man.
We also got Katie Wilson. Sure she isn’t classically gorgeous like those three, but damn does that woman represent Seattle.
This is some weird shit that only people in bubbles would comment.
It doesn’t help anyone but does make people celebrate losing ideas prematurely.
People in bubbles or people disconnected enough from American politics, I guess. European here. 🙋♂️ Hi.
I hate how much that improves her chances.
Don’t worry, she’s female, which will keep a bunch of people from voting for her
She’s so fire though, politically, not just looks. Her whole social media presence is like scrolling c/murderedbywords. Love 'er.
Honestly, people are so pissed at Trump, and there’s so little credibility left in the GOP even among their own base, that might not matter anymore.
JFC, “JD” “Vance” is about as appealing as a bucket of piss. How in the fuck is this even close?
I get it - AOC doesn’t have a dong and so a lot of mouthbreathers rule her out on that alone. But still, Christ. This is the stupid bootlick that called Donvict a Nazi and is now his VP and sits there and chastises one of our allies like some kind of cartoon bully.
America has repeatedly proven it will not vote for a woman, no matter how qualified she is
We’ve proven we don’t like centrist women with status quo platforms pretty convincingly. Anything more is speculative imo.
And yet it’s elected centrist man after centrist man. Funny, that.
The last time there was another option on the table he became the first black president in our nation’s history. Perhaps there’s a lesson to be learned there.
I think it’s a stretch to say Obama wasn’t centrist, but really it’s irrelevant. US voters were fine with voting in centrist men in if they were appealing enough, but once a centrist woman is put up, they’ll let a self-confessed wannabe dictator into office with hardly a fight.
Obama certainly acted like a centrist but that’s not how he campaigned which means that’s not what won him the election.
Again, irrelevant. Also, he won twice, so his initial campaign wasn’t the end all be all, either.

I guarantee you a far left woman like AOC is not going to get elected. Too many independents think she’s too far left. The right can win by being extreme right. The left can’t win by being extreme left. Not in this shithole.
Nothing about affordable health care and not trying to actively poison the planet as much as possible is extreme left
That’s what they said about far left black men until Obama came along running as a progressive and won handily. For some reason we didn’t learn any lessons from that and went right back to boring centrist candidates afterwards.
The women who were presented to America had many more problems than their gender. I’m not discounting the reality that a woman has to be exceptional to be considered adequate by the electorate, but “America will not vote for a woman” is true until it’s not.
America voted for Clinton
Yeah irc she won the popular vote. Unfortunately it’s the electoral collage vote that wins you elections.
So the issue is not Clinton being a woman but the issue is the political system that americans never tried to change
Nah, I just think you personally are sexist and are looking to voters to validate your beliefs. Americans will vote for a women candidate. They just won’t vote for an uninspiring third way Democrat, whether they have a vag or not.

Kamala?
Ok, yes, true, but Kamala never was chosen via the primary process, she was just forced on us as the default choice.
