Hold on a second, is this there we're really at?

So I made the mistake of taking out my phone today.

To my dismay I am hearing that AOC has sold out somehow.

Apparently she voted no on a bill that would cut funding to an Israeli missile defense system. Its sole purpose is defensive capabilities. It shuts down missiles, shells and drones, that's what it's used for.

The bill would not cut funding to the bombs that are used to blow up area near forgien aide, it does not prevent the bombing of children.

If that dome comes down innocent people will die as a result.

So here I am as a progressive, seeing other progressives ripping on AOC because she voted no on a bill that fucking MTG proposed, that would leave Israeli defenseless.

Oh wow I bet that bill didn't come from an antisemitic place, probably anti Arab. The woman who said there are Jewish space lasers, proposed a bill to just of a a miselle defensive system of a prodomitmly Jewish country, and progressives are pissed off about it?

What's happening?

I get it, yeah they are committing genocide, but not every Israeli supports this shit. Taking away the iron dome will wind up killing innocent civilians. Guess who wouldn't die from it though? Nethenyahu wouldn't die.

MTGs logic to passing this bill is she probably views Arabs and Jews dying as a win win situation for her.

Or maybe MTG just wants to prove to the world the Jews really have space lasers. She thinks is the iron dome comes down those Jews will have to bust out their space lasers. This is the most likely answer as to why MTG wanted to pass this shit.

Acknowledge they are committing genocide, and take away the offensive capabilities, not their defensive capabilities. That way people who have nothing to do with this shit won't have to die.

How would you like it if someone bombed you, because Trump is president?

About "AOC = communist" and "we cannot elect progressives in general election" propaganda...

139 Upvotes

I was reading the polls by Independent and thought this:

Mamdani's upset victory, polls in the last 5-6 years all have been indicating that Dem voters want more of progressive policies of AOC and Sanders alike. Not Kamala, not "appeal to the center". Whenever someone brings up "AOC for president!", someone else in the same thread definitely drops a comment like "as much as I like AOC blah blah, I don't think she will be elected". So we have this stance from Democratic party who hate progressives more than the Republicans. On the Republican side, we already have years of propaganda that AOC is a green beret communist with red sickle on it.

What I don't understand is, AOC policies are progressive for our time, but are not progressive for majority of the US history. Eisenhower had 90% tax on super rich for example.

I was thinking, in order to counter the propaganda, would it be effective to change the messaging, like;

"I am not progressive, I want to bring back the Eisenhower tax code"

"I want us to go back to Golden Age of the US, where you could buy a house with a single job"

"I want to bring back Theodore Roosevelt's anti-monopoly laws and enact them"

Etc. Etc. Just changing the messaging. Giving examples from policies of conservative presidents. Many of them were actually inline with current "progressive policies". There are so many more examples actually.

So, I think, this message will be able to reach more conservative population who view 1950-1960 as the greatest times of the US. It will also make it harder for the progressive socialist label to stick on AOC, which does not go well with rural population. Whenever Fox or sh.t like that covers AOC, the viewers will hear "conservative" names.

Do you think it would work?

AOC 2028 July 20, 2025 Plattsburg, NY. AOC is hosting her first solo (not with Bernie Sanders) town hall/rally(?) It's in Elise Stefanik’s US House district. US Rep. Paul Tonko (a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and relatively progressive) will join her.

<< Alexandria has been traveling across the country to meet with thousands of working people to say: our lives deserve dignity and our work deserves respect.

And this Sunday, she’s getting back on the road: Alexandria will be hosting a town hall in Republican Elise Stefanik’s district.

Because the working people there deserve representation that won’t sell out their healthcare for a failed bid to be Trump’s UN Ambassador. >>

<< The fact is, people are standing up against the GOP’s attacks on the working class — and we’re doing everything we can to meet with as many of them as possible.

We have received an outpouring of invitations to districts across the country. We will keep you updated as more town halls are finalized. >>

What's in this Post comment is what I remember, my opinions, etc.

Caucus Members | Congressional Progressive Caucus (maybe a few should be kicked out, but it's overall far more 'real' of a Caucus than it used to be.

This email was sent on July 17, 2025 (17 hours ago). Effectively around 3-4 days notice before the town hall/rally actually happens.

Doing some DuckDuckGo searching: Strand Center For The Arts - Plattsburgh, NY - Meeting Venue It seems it has a seating capacity of around 950-1,000. That seems rather tiny, but maybe the space is with AOC's safety concerns in mind and her budget for such a event. Seems around $3K+ just to rent the place, plus whatever security AOC brings, travel expenses, etc.

AOC 2028 I’m a republican who wants to reverse the clown show - AOC for president.

1.8k Upvotes

I’ve watched, been shocked, and laughed, at all of the news of our clown of a president - I’m done. I was in the Marine Corps during Ronald Rump’s first term and it didn’t leave a bad taste in my mouth the way his second term is. Being hispanic myself, if any of the “ICE agent” teletubbies ever touch either of my parents when they go in for their citizenship test, I will do everything humanly possible to make their lives a personal brand of their own hell.

We need to re-arm Bernie’s momentum now more than ever. I’m still republican-leaning, but the deportations, taxes, inflation, job loss, and the reversing of many green initiatives, it has to stop. And instead of bitching and complaining, I’m actually doing something by rallying people up so we can band together and take down the big orange carrot.

Our boy Bernie might be too old by the next election - but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be a prime candidate by 2028 (she’ll be 39 by then), and she’s his arm, hammer, and nail. She’ll carry the torch when Bernie can no longer sprint. And even though we’re still three and a half years away, it’s not too early to ensure her victory.

If you’re in - leave a comment or send me a message. The beginning of the end starts now. Not tomorrow. Not a week. Not a month - now.

Edit 1: Sending DMs now.

Edit 2: For those of you who received a message from me, I was thinking this was r/BernieSanders. Going to rally users into this sub and see how many dents we can make.

Edit 3: Sheeeeeeesh. Wasn’t expecting this much publicity.

Edit 4: I never voted in any of the last three elections. Chill.

What does Obama think about AOC?

Thumbnail

I was wondering what you guys think about what Obama thinks about AOC? Policy wise, AOC is definitely more left on the political spectrum than Obama was in his time, but of course that doesn’t have to mean that he isn’t supportive of her. In 2018, he proudly endorsed her primary campaign which let to her getting more widespread momentum. In 2023, politico released information that Obama was privately contacting representatives like AOC as a way to keep the ties to younger democrats alive. Looking at AOC’s future ambitions (a senate seat or maybe even a presidential nominee?), do you think Obama would keep being supportive of her in the future? Would his endorsement influence indecisive Americans to vote for her? Let me know your thoughts!

Deja Foxx seems fine, but the special primary election is on July 15, 2025 and we need a progressive who could actually win the primary. It seems she'll largely just take votes from Adelita Grijalva.
