She needs to run for NY Senator in 2028. Schumer and Gillibrand both voted yes.

I want her and Walz to be on the ticket so fox news has an aneurism

And fuck it. We're appointing Obama to SCOTUS.

Both Michelle and Barack. Why not?

that will make Maga's minds break.

Interesting thought, she potentially could put Obama as VP to flip their lids as well. The 22nd amendment says 'no person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice' it doesn't explicitly preclude service by succession if the president resigned or died. Not that I'd hope anything bad for AOC but it would be funny to see the reaction.

I want her so bad as president, but I don't know that misogynists would let it happen. I think there's way more misogyny in this country that we expect.

It’s part of the class war that keeps us fighting amongst ourselves while the oligarch’s rob us blind

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Well it certainly appears to be working

know better people.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

I know lots and lots of people. The average is not good.

I want her to try, but DNC will never let it happen.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

All the more reason to dismantle the DNC

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That would be great, but we’d still need two progressive Democrats to primary the NY Senate seats.

Letitia James and Juumane Williams. Need to replace gov Hochul as well but I can live with nation over state.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

i prefer she stayed in the house and let others to run the senate, just to keep the seats safe. probably need to start running candidates in these DINOs districts.
