AOC will be the 2028 Democrats presidential nominee.
I’ve been saying this for 2 years.
Gavin Newsom’s favorability among likely New Hampshire Democratic primary voters has fallen from 58% to 38% in just nine months, while his ballot support has dropped from 15% to 8%.
Meanwhile, AOC now holds a +55 net favorability compared to Newsom’s +12.
The progressive wing is consolidating behind AOC.
Don’t forget that Bernie beat Hillary in 2016 but the Dens pushed Bernie out.
That won’t work with AOC.
Both Democrats and Republicans have a problem but they’re different problems.
Democrats’ problem: They don’t know how to handle the DSA.
They’re:
• Younger
• More energized
• Louder
• Better at simple messaging
Their message is easy to understand:
1. Rich people are the problem.
2. Tax the rich.
3. A wealth tax will fix inequality.
4. Government can solve your affordability crisis.
5. The system isn’t fair.
Newsom made the mistake of aligning himself with democratic socialists, but it backfired.
He’s undeniably talented, but many voters struggle to identify what he truly stands for. Too often, it feels like he’ll change positions if it improves his chances of becoming president.
Republicans problem:
Affordability
Affordability
Affordability
They need credible, easy to understand solutions to the affordability crisis.
Wall Street is not Main Street.
Don’t let the stock market convince you that most Americans are doing well.
80% of Americans don’t care how great NVIDIA, Anthropic, SpaceX and Palantir stock are doing.
Housing affordability, rising costs, and economic opportunity are defining issues.
People are delaying buying homes, getting married, and starting families because they simply can’t afford it.
Socialism has a miserable history of failure, but telling people that alone isn’t enough. Many who feel they have little to lose will still be willing to give it a chance.
Simply attacking socialism won’t win the argument.
Offering a better solution and communicating it more effectively might.
Whoever presents a real solution with a simple, compelling message will have a major advantage in the post Trump era.
The political battles ahead are going to get 10x nastier than what we’ve seen so far.
The biggest elephant in the room is leaving.
It’s about to get nasty.
One day people will look back at this brilliant speech by @StephenM and see it was a turning point. Only America has the will to restore beauty and order and normalcy, and if it happens it will be thanks to statesmen like this
I'm so fucking sick of the GOP.
"We can't do anything."
Shut the fuck up. SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
You have the House. The Senate. The White House. A Supreme Court majority.
The most unified government you've had in years, and you're telling me you CAN'T DO ANYTHING?????
You have RECONCILIATION.
You know, the filibuster-proof tool Democrats used to ram through trillions in spending with FIFTY votes?
It's sitting right there.
Do you morons understand what happens if Democrats take the midterms?
It's over.
Not "tough." Not "a setback."
FUCKING OVER.
Every DOGE cut? Gone. Did you forget you still need to CODIFY THOSE into law?!
Executive orders? Erased.
Regulation cuts? Reversed.
Border policy? Deleted.
Years of work, torched in one election cycle, because you kept saying "we'll get to it" like we gave a DAMN that you "tried".
Guess what happens when Democrats win, dumbasses?
They start passing bills.
They actually DO everything you won't do, for God knows what reason.
You're telling me if they win, they won't NUKE the filibuster ON DAY ONE?!
They've SAID it out loud, repeatedly, on camera!!!!!
Transgender plays in Uganda? Back.
Elmo in Afghanistan? Back.
NPR/PBS funding? Probably DOUBLED out of spite.
ICE? Defunded.
DC and Puerto Rico statehood? Yep.
Court packing? THEY SAID SO THIS WEEK!!!!!
Every single "crazy" thing you swore would never happen becomes a floor vote the second they hold the gavel.
Because THEY actually use power when they have it.
That's the difference between you and them, and it's fucking humiliating.
Meanwhile YOU can't even pass the SAVE Act.
Requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections is an 80/20 issue.
The easiest layup in American politics... and GOD FORBID YOU CHANGE SOME ARCHAIC SENATE RULES TO GET IT DONE because you'd rather have the ISSUE than the LAW.
You won't defund the fucking TALIBAN.
We're still watching taxpayer money leak into Afghanistan and your response is a strongly worded letter and a subcommittee hearing nobody watches.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?????
Don't tell me there's no time.
The House is scheduled for barely over 100 legislative days this year.
You work a THIRD of the year.
Teachers work more days than you.
AND SOMEHOW you STILL ARE FINDING ROOM FOR EVEN MORE VACATIONS!!!!!!!
GOD FORBID you actually put in some effort.
But no. Instead you give us tweets.
Fox News hits.
Cringe-ass TikToks.
Podcast appearances.
NOBODY GIVES A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT YOUR CONTENT.
Not one of us. Zero.
You're not influencers. You're lawmakers.
So make some fucking laws.
That's the job It's all we've EVER asked you to do.
Trump won't be on the ballot next time to drag YOUR SORRY ASSES ACROSS THAT FINISH LINE.
You really think you can come home, look us in the eye, and recycle the same excuses?
After THIS?
No. Not this time.
The stakes are way too high and our patience is gone.
Completely gone.
Stop telling us what you'd do "if only you had the power."
YOU HAVE THE POWER. RIGHT NOW. TODAY.
If you're too cowardly to use it, then stop fucking asking us for more of it.
...and don't act all shocked when the people you keep taking for granted stop showing up to save you from yourselves.
Trump timed this perfectly.
The indictments are going to be dropping right before the midterms, and they’re going to be all over the news.
People will KNOW the Democrats worked with China to rig our elections, because they’ll turn on the TV and see people being arrested for it. That’s gonna light a fire under their ass to make sure this one is too big to rig, because Trump was right about everything.
@Badhombre Mind you, I haven't written any music or books, but I think I can get people to trust me that I wouldn't lie or deceive them better than the case "Ashley " presented. For starters, I wouldn't have worn a dress.
Victor Davis Hanson asks if Candace Owens has any decency left
@VDHanson "This is the absolute end of Candace Owens.
You're disgraced and you've lied to millions of people. You've caused undue harm and trauma to the family. You're trying to destroy the whole image of Charlie Kirk with all of these plots.
Candace Owens, have you no decency?
And she doesn't"
I don't think the GOP fully grasp how badly they are fucking up right now.
I'm talking to people who normally have ZERO interest in politics who are legitimately pissed off.
They are not seeing the major reform they thought would happen and are REALLY MAD about it.
No true accountability.
No true mass deportations.
No meaningful decrease in the deficit.
Lots of very long vacations and no work.
No bills being passed that REDUCE the government involvement in their lives.
I'm very worried the GOP is sleepwalking toward a midterm reckoning they don’t see coming.
People are pissed off that they voted Trump into office and then the GOP continues to slow-walk every reform people want.
Where are all the DOGE cuts that were promised?
Where is the SAVE ACT?
Why haven't we defunded the Taliban yet?
Why are bills passing the House and then disappear in the Senate?
Why are the GOP still funding Left-wing NGOs that target and hate MAGA Republicans?
Why are members of the GOP pushing for mass amnesty instead of mass deportations?
People are waking up and they aren't happy about it.
People believed they were voting for the Trump agenda. and instead, many feel like they’re getting the same old Washington.
If Republicans in Congress don’t start producing tangible results, they’re going to discover that frustration has consequences...
...And by the time they realize how deep-seeded that frustration is, it may already be too late.
This guy couldn't even sign his own name. He's not writing books. LMAO
Politicians write books to launder money. Nobody wants to read this, but the corrupt NGOs he provided for as President will buy up 100K copies and burn 'em to hold up their end of the bribes.
Notice how Nithya Raman just completely disappeared after they blocked us out of the general election?
She's not campaigning at all. Like a pickpocket disappearing into the crowd. Just a ghost. I told you her campaign was a scam. Colluding with Bass from the start.
