was looking for 2024 speculation and polling and found this gem from August 2020: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/i9a5ke/2024_democratic_primary_poll_cuomo_21_harris_19/
2024 Democratic Primary Poll: Cuomo 21%, Harris 19%, Buttigieg 16%, AOC 9%, Yang 6%, Klobuchar 6%, Booker 6%, O’Rourke 6%, Abrams 6%, Gillibrand 3%
other fun quotes:
We need to make sure AOC doesn't get the presidency and we're set.
AOC (aside from Dotard tRump) is the biggest threat to our nation and Israel right now. My daughter is constantly raving about how much she inspires her and it makes me very afraid for the future.
My daughter blocked me on Facebook because I tried to wake her up to the truth about AOC.
Pete and Kamala (and a lot of others) aren't any less progressive than Sanders, just less populist, ideological
I actually didn't know my eyes could roll that far into the back of my head, so thanks for that
What the fuck could they possibly mean in their own heads that's any more coherent than 'good thing' and 'bad thing'?

Critical support to the Zoomers pissing off their neolib parents, even if it is just AOC.
Critical support to comrade AOC in the glorious struggle to piss off parents.
when youre so starved for attention and emotion and meaning in your life as all aspects of your being become a commodity that you must consume, including ones own social interactions and information consumption, that you have to drip feed yourself pure untainted liberal ideology, so that when you vomit up the words, "Kamala and Pete are quite left..." you get a little dopamine hit as you have processed and engaged with the correct dialogue branch of being a neoliberal.

If AOC wins the nomination in ‘24, I’m 80% likely to vote the GOP nominee. She’s the only one on this list I can’t stand
:agony-acid:
Also lol @ the last guy in the screenshot who’s waiting for his team to be less cringe so he can leave his current team. American politics is just a sport to these freaks
most average centrist :centrist:
God an AOC presidency kills me internally. Because we all already know it would be the same slog as the two Sanders campaigns trying to get her over the line but it’s already obvious now, let alone when she runs, that she’ll happily sell out the international proletariat and do socdem shit the second she wins. Just lobotomize me fam. I can’t handle 4 years of that media cycle on rerun
Don't worry, she will get crushed by someone less politically competent but more acceptable to the american elite
ahahaha 😫 :gun-hubris:
just explicitly imagining one's own politics as forestalling progress for as long as possible
no you see it's pragmatic to do barely anything about climate change for decades. It's pragmatic to create record breaking wealth inequality and allow the rich to act as unaccountable demi-gods. It's pragmatic to continue extorting and pillaging the global south for resources on behalf of a handful of rich fucks. These are just smart things that we do because they are such good ideas. They definitely will not create larger, more urgent problems that will be more difficult to solve in the future.
Does the American left even have a post-Bernie candidate? Is it going to be AOC? She seems a bit shit.
Here in the UK my money's currently on Zarah Sultana as the candidate leftists end up promoting post-Corbyn once Kieth is in the bin.
KEEP THE FAITH ! NEVER LET THE FUCKING SQUAD ANYWHERE NEAR POWER WEAK PUSSIES WTF YOURE TARNISHING NEOLIBERALISM WITH YOUR LIBERALSIM. FUckkkk
Umm. Excuse me. Too many uppers today. But these college kids need to grow up and recognize how wrong they are about this
