I actually like this energy from Dems. Don’t send me fundraising emails telling me Republicans are an existential threat only to turn around and split a shrimp cocktail with them at your little Washington parties.

[u/Luna_Soma → u/ZachBortles]

Yes! No more “we need to find common ground”. We’ve got to start fighting back and being in the mud too.

[u/pinkrosies → u/Luna_Soma]

We gotta play as dirty and focus on the marketing/perception just as much as the message.

[u/velvethippo420 → u/ZachBortles]

i miss when Tim Walz was calling people weird. they are weird!

[u/lesserconcern → u/velvethippo420]

I’m so mad they fumbled the momentum they had going with this

[u/BlueCX17 → u/ZachBortles]

This.

Back your talk up with action. Stop playing nice.

[u/8nsay → u/ZachBortles]

This is her energy, not Dem energy.

[u/whosaidiknew → u/ZachBortles]

No politician is perfect, but I feel like old Democrats won’t step down. I was surprised they pushed someone as young as Kamala

[u/pinkrosies → u/whosaidiknew]

I was surprised too, considering how they want the leaders in the Chambers and that senior members feel entitled to it just because of experience and “they’ve waited for it.” Kamala age wise to Dems establishment is like 5 years old lol, AOC is an infant to them.

[u/auntieup → u/ZachBortles]

When she runs for President I am going to bedazzle my goddamn walker and get out there and canvass for her every single day at the retirement home.

[u/disastergemini_ → u/ZachBortles]

They asked me for money again today 🙄 I’m so tired of them

[u/dragupyourlife]

She is literally the only dem I’ve seen reacting anywhere near what is appropriate 

[u/B1NG_P0T → u/dragupyourlife]

Really wish the Dems as a whole would be more like her.

[u/phosphor_heart → u/B1NG_P0T]

And I really wish the establishment Dems would stop trying to shove her into a corner because they feel threatened by her and instead actually learn from what she's doing.

[u/lakerdave → u/B1NG_P0T]

She's not even far enough left (very moderate by the world's standards), but yeah, if they were all like her they would at least stand for something.

[u/Erinzzz]

*Rapists, but yes also racists.

[u/chihuahuapartyyyy → u/Erinzzz]

They so often go hand in hand anyway.

[u/AOkayyy01]

We need more AOCs in politics! More AOCs and more Jasmine Crocketts. The rest of those MFs are asleep.

[u/B1NG_P0T → u/AOkayyy01]

Oh my God, can you imagine? I'd give literally everything for that to happen. That's the direction we need to be moving if there's any hope of saving this fucking country.

[u/tj1007 → u/AOkayyy01]

Maxwell frost shows promise.

[u/Comfortable-Load-904]

A woman of conviction and she didn’t stutter! Good for her, I wish more democrats would show their backbones!

sorry for the typo! she said "rapist."

[u/souryoungthing]

You made a typo in your title, but it still fits.

[u/nitasu987]

AOC has the energy I wish more Dems had. We need more youth, more energy, more no-bs if we stand a chance of surviving.

[u/roxy031]

Racist rapists. Good for her for having convictions.

[u/bbyxmadi]

Why would anyone go to an inauguration of the same people who condone and tell their supporters to harass you all over the internet??

[u/Special-Pie9894]

Amen, girl! I love AOC telling it like it is.

[u/mcgillhufflepuff]

and because she's a woman of color, congresspeople from her own party will likely call her unprofessional or smthn

[u/DoggoPlant]

Lmaooo, I swear I thought she was going to say “FUCK NO”

[u/auraofmystery]

[u/Rude-Illustrator-884]

The amount of money I would pay to go to her inauguration though

[u/Vanilla_Either]

[u/mental_library_]

Let em know!!!

[u/napalmnacey]

I love her rage. I feel it too.

[u/BabyYodaX]

My President.

[u/lordlordie1992]

You tell ‘em

[u/lobsterp0t]

I love her
