  1. That was my first impression at the time he threw his hat into the ring. Back then I really thought Beto would outshine him, but I was wrong there. Most people recognize him and no longer struggle with his last name. Still, at the end of the day, Pete is more of a surrogate than a leader, and he's quite valuable in that role.
  2. This is just copium on your part. Almost every article that reported on this poll has used a headline to the effect that AOC is the face of the party. But fine let's bring this back to Pete Buttigieg. He got 5% (tied with Hakeem Jeffries). So why are we spending so much time pretending Pete is this generational political superstar when despite all his media hits and Fox News debates and town halls he can't get even one fifth of AOC's share in this poll?
  3. AOC has sway with voters, not the fossils in Congress that are demonstrably incapable of opposing the Trump regime.
  4. Well a pollster ranked a bunch of people and AOC is by far #1, with Bernie Sanders #2.
  5. If not AOC, then who's the "face" of the party?
  6. This is like criticizing DJ Monroe for not playing enough snaps at Texas. If she wanted to, she could throw her weight around and rock the boat. She could portal out of the party, so to speak, and comfortably win re-election in her district.
  7. I'm just saying perception is reality. Trump lies about many things but one of the few things he has going for him is instinctively knowing who has power. There's no democrat with more clout than AOC. He knows it. I know it. Everyone knows it.
  8. That's a quaint notion. Your opinion is at odds with Trump https://www.newsweek.com/white-house-calls-aoc-leader-democratic-party-2078215 Your opinion is at odds with polling https://www.al.com/politics/2025/05/no-one-is-the-face-of-the-democrats-new-poll-should-scare-the-party-ahead-of-next-elections.html I'm not saying she's done anything to earn it, I'm just saying nobody else is stepping up.
  9. I don't think that will happen soon. She will be a governor or senator before she even thinks about running for president. But she is the current defacto leader and will be testing her kingmaking power soon, perhaps even in the NYC mayoral race.
  10. Bill Burr could win in a landslide if he was dumb enough to get into politics
  11. If we can flip a guy from LaTech we can flip anyone.
  12. This is all too true. I'm gonna wait and see about this husband, actually. It sure seems like a lot of bad shit happened very recently, which sometimes coincides with bad influences descending on a person's life. Like you said we don't know shit about fuck, so I'm not going to jump to that conclusion but I'm not going to be surprised if we later learn some unflattering things about how this man's life began to unravel.
  13. Those are losers, foreigners, and bots. Losers and foreigners existed during the Obama years, they just didn't post as much on social media. Most voters have better things to do than post hateful comments all day. If the Dems are serious about winning, they need to nominate a strong person. Most Americans are drawn to strength, regardless of everything else. It makes them feel safe and taken care of. We think of Biden as weak because of his frail condition in 2024, the way he allowed his own party to kill BBB, and the way Netanyahu controlled him, but his public image in 2020 was very different. I'm not really talking about physical strength or stamina or fitness. I'm talking about strength as a person, strength as a candidate. Biden's frailness was secondary to his inability to command respect, which the republicans definitely got a lot of mileage out of. Especially that debate, holy shit. Now, JB is a strong guy, I just have a nagging fear of a Fetterman-style health episode at a very inopportune time. He's got time to throw Ozempic his weight and take some blood thinners to minimize the risk of strokes. I mean he's a billionaire he could hire the best wellness team money can buy to address the health issue.
  14. What is Tristan referencing in that second to last paragraph? Are people actually criticizing Joss for being loud on his own property?
  15. Pride starting off with a hate crime
  16. great way to get locked up for attempted arson
  17. sir this is a Mega Lo Mart
  18. This series is up for grabs. Records don't mean shit here, it's all about who shows up and sets the tone. But if it's OKC who takes control early, I think it'll be two blowouts, one close road win, and a series-ending, sweep-clinching blowout in Indy. If Indy steals Game 1, I think it will go to Game 7.
  19. It was just mental illness why are politicians making this about politics? Thoughts, prayers, and move on.
  20. What a sad way to go out.
  21. Other idea would be some big-ass spare Yetis that can find use between weather events.
  22. there's your sign https://www.harborfreight.com/3500-watt-super-quiet-inverter-generator-with-co-secure-technology-carb-72899.html
  23. If the party bigwigs are cool with it, it won't be a liability for him.
  24. Anyone end up on message board genuises yet?
