Charismatic + Young + Intelligent + Christofascist...
I think Republicans might need to remove one search criterion to make that work.
As for Dems... that might just be AOC? Lol
You're right. DeSantis would've been catastrophic if he wasn't such a little weirdo with no charisma.
I would love to vote for AOC. She will be old enough to run next year, but it will be four years before the next election.
She checks all the boxes unless you're the type to believe Republican spin (she was a bartender once but has more education than most GoP house members). I'm unfortunately sure she'll get the same DNC treatment as Sanders, though :/
I don't think the DNC will be able to stop her. They can only do so much. I was a huge Bernie fan, volunteered at rallies and everything, but even I can acknowledge that the support was not quite strong enough to overcome the establishment headwind. He came close twice, but I think there were a number of people who wrote him off over his age and whatnot.
I think AOC could tip the scales, she's young and smart and has real conviction. She has all the Bernie benefits with none of the baggage.
Honestly I think aoc is the only I could be excited to vote for right now.
That spin is hilarious when you consider the source, they voted for a reality TV personality and didn't bar an eye when he padded his cabinet with family members and inept grifters.
What, other than bleak cynicism, leads you to that conclusion?
Why, bleak cynicism of course!
No really, it's just my concern since she's on the progressive side and you know how the Dems are.
History, history leads to that conclusion
Not an American, but AOC is who I hope the Dems go with next time. She's the only thing I envy about your political situation atm.
I mean there's definitely intelligent enough people who just want to use people
Of course! But I don't think there's any public figure Republicans who fit the bill.
You don't think there's people out there to chirp the republican agenda for their own personal gain? People are definitely smart enough to say things they don't believe in to manipulate others
Who's both charismatic, young, and intelligent? Don't get me wrong, I'm quite aware people lie to manipulate others (that's like all religions) but I don't think there's someone in the GOP, or are GOP aligned celebs, who fit the description. Like... who? The best they ran celeb-wise Dr. Oz and he's am uncharismatic weasel.
Maybe two of the three, but even that's a stretch (DeSantis for instance might be two of three but I have doubts he's particularly intelligent; maybe by GOP standards). I guess someone could emerge but whoever they are, they ain't on my radar.
I'd love to vote for AOC too
I don't think you'll be happy with the one Republicans choose to get rid of.
