    Oh I’m very ready for Buttigieg to beat AOC in a rigged primary and get curbstomped by Tucker Carlson in the general. (Carlson beats Dan Crenshaw who is the party pick in this scenario).

      AOC definitely isn’t running for President until 2028, at the very least. I suspect she will go for Schumer’s seat in 2022, though. I think Schumer’s recent push for student loan forgiveness is evidence that he’s somewhat worried about this.

      I worked with her campaigns here in NYC. Not saying I know this for sure, but I would be 0% surprised if she challenges Schumer first. She’s a way more well known name despite Schumer being around for about 2 centuries and could, in my opinion, very easily make up her loses in ground upstate with how much she’d carry NYC

        Gaining control of congress and having a huge number of members support a demsoc presidential candidate instead of shitting on them in lockstep with the media, would help a lot with getting libs to stop trusting bourgeois media.

        It's why Schumer is pivoting left. Also talk of just giving her a Senate seat somehow to prevent a Centrist bigwig getting absolutely crushed in the Senate.

          They’d never make concessions like that even though AOC will still be around for a while
