Guest Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 49 minutes ago, Lion Heart said: AOC 2024. Primary Kamala Harris Even though I’d really like to see it AOC becoming POTUS is unrealistic. Democrats will push the same agenda as it happened with Biden and Hillary before a progressive with a grassroots campaign actually makes it to the White House. Unless Biden loses the election there is no real chance that a progressive gathers more votes than a moderate in 2024 just because how rigged the primaries are. And if Biden wins 2020, there is a way higher chance of Kamala Harris winning the primaries because she has super-PACs on her side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politicians are not supposed to be cool. I would never want them to be. I just want them to do the best for our country, for the people. I hate seeing them making the rounds on talk shows and tv shows and hanging out and talking with "other" celebrities, next thing you know, all they are playing up IS how cool they are, while they just dump on the people that they represent, all except their rich and entitled buddies. Sickening. It's been a problem for a long time. How else do you think we wind up with celebrity millionaire Donald Trump, who only used to be known in the social sections of articles and then became a game show celebrity. We should all regret this by now. How else can we reckon where we are now? Now if you aren't sold that your politician of choice isn't "cool", you may be made to believe that they have no chance in Hell of coming close to winning. It's this problem and also how much money your politician can raise and spend on ads and lies. Politicians are never cool, don't let our culture fool you. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all need to be highly critical and scrutinize our elected and public officials. They serve us, the citizens, and we pay their salaries. They exist to serve and protect us - they are not celebrities and should not be treated as such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many young people are intrigued by her and in turn they will be involved in the upcoming elections, a demographic that historically stays away from politics.

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 The way you guys would drag Nancy Pelosi if she had done the same thing? It's almost funny already. Good for her, do whatever you want AOC and I'm not a huge fan, but I don't have double standards.

Franch Toast 27,758 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I love how she connects skincare and makeup to self-care and radical politics. Yes! This is why even with the pandemic, for some people, skincare and makeup are still important, even if they're staying at home. I sued to use the same sunblock as her, but then Bioré reformulated it, and it turns out I'm allergic to the new formation. She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
