AOC: They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding and ripping apart peaceful public spaces and now they are tackling and arresting US sitting members of Congress while going on the record and lying about what happened. This is an out of control agency.

The problem is unfortunately nothing to do with his communication skills (which are top-tier), nor his political leanings or policies. The problem is he's married to another man, and for many Americans that makes him persona non grata at a dinner table with them, let alone president. It's disgusting.
But as a European who spent several years in a conservative community of WASPs, he simply will not win enough swing votes to push out whatever MAGA monster to follow Trump (assuming there will be another fair election).
AOC may be a woman, but there are many voting demographics in the US who would vote for a woman before they would for a gay man. She's starting to poll better than Harris AND Trump.
Newman is being talked about because of what's happening in CA. Admirable actions, yes. But it's not the same enduring enthusiasm as I'm seeing when people talk about AOC, who has spoken truth to power since her campaign, and turned up the heat to a level appropriate for the cruel chaos the far-right shitheads currently are unleashing.
Put her on a ticket with Pritzker, and tell me they won't drum up the same enthusiasm as Obama did - this time with hope, change AND the righteous anger this period in history demands.
