    People are tired of falling in line for a party that doesn’t support them.

    It’s an easy fix, just start nominating progressive candidates.

    The only issue is that upper middle class white folks will have to pay more in taxes, so they’d rather have Trump.

    It’s all about the money, and money brings out the worst in people.

      I was saying to my older friends that AOC should really be running for president because in a lot of ways she brings with her Bernie ideologies, my friend told me that Democrats need to run a moderate candidate. She is a great progressive who fights bullies, instead of making backroom deals with them. I really hope Mamdani wins in New York and will signal that people really want progressives in office. AOC would be an amazing president because she actually puts the work into listening to people and acting on it.
