We all like AOC here on Lemmy, but are enough of the old ass "liberals" going to join us so she can actually get elected? Seems highly unlikely to be honest.

I'd love to see it happen though. That's what primaries are for. The Dems should try one of those. It's been a while.

Bernie and AOC seem to be hoovering up the MSNBC liberal boomer demographic at this point because that demo has finally snapped and the dems leadership is completely absent.

That, however, probably won't translate into a progressive/socialist candidate winning the next presidential primary. They might have a stronger showing but dem leadership will move to protect their donors and stifle that candidate.

I'm 45. Am I old enough to be an old ass liberal? I love AOC and I hope she succeeds.

I'm talking 70's, 80's, and up. I'm also in my 40s.
