Let’s get AOC to run. She’ll be old enough next time 'round.
It’s clear the “catering to moderates” strategy has been a catastrophic failure. I say we change gears and actually put up a candidate that isn’t going to try and “play both sides.”
AOC hasn’t been afraid to criticize her party’s decisions, I think she could take the platform Bernie Sanders took and actually make some progress.
Problem is, the DNC would actually need to fucking cooperate instead of falling into their same old tried and failed ways, unlike they did with Bernie both times he ran. I don’t see that happening, and as always, third parties aren’t really an option.
Problem is that she’s a woman, and a statistically significant chunk of America is repulsed by idea of being ruled by a woman. (I’m not going to say a large portion, but big enough that it played a factor in this election)
I’m not in the US, so I won’t be voting for any presidential candidates, but I’ve been impressed with AOC whenever I’ve seen her in interviews.
You’re right about the infighting thing though, and it seems to be endemic to left leaning parties everywhere, whereas the right usually seem to be a much more cohesive team.
Isn’t there something about the president having to be American born too? Keanu was born in Lebanon and is Canadian. I think he probably has dual citizenship with the states but it sounds complicated…
I mean, what else can we do?

That’s also true, as disgusting as it is.

Not a lot to argue about when the goal is to make as much money as possible by any means necessary
Talk to your country’s politicians about offering refugee visas to Americans.
Convince Keanu Reeves to run for the next election. Seriously, he is the one.
Yeah, that’s what you need, another conspiracy theorist…
Some still don’t understand the full extent of this
You’ll have more elections. It’s up to you to make them still mean something.
I think Jon Stewart would make a great president. I also think he would probably be miserable and I would hate to do that to him.
Worked for reagan, Trump, zelensky. Every politician an actor. Fuck it at this point
He seems like a person that would go to great lengths to avoid politics, but he can’t be any worse than any of the existing options.

Also holy smokes he is 60???
No, he was the lead actor in a trans anarchist movie
