She has a persuasion ability at 30 that people more than double her age don't. By the time she is 45, she will be unstoppable. I warn conservatives I know, and they just laugh and say that is ridiculous. It will be a rude awakening for them, similar to what Trump has been for the left these last five years.

I've already started calling her "President Ocasio-Cortez"

And I'll comment as well, I don't even agree with or necessarily like her politically. But I love and respect her ability, and that is what will get her to the Presidency and she knows it.

In ten years they won't matter. She will have already taken over the party by then, or started a new one that is better.

Shes got my vote tbh.

Dunno much about politics, but she seems knowledgeable and amicable.

But most importantly, shes young and has been shown doing what a younger generation actually does like that video of her dancing in college, being a bartender, having a homely significant other, and playing games on twitch.

Ill vote her a million times over another old, white dude.

And what people who focus on "the issues" and policy don't get, is that stuff doesn't matter. It's this, what people can relate to, personality. That is what will get her to the highest seat. Facts and policy means nothing as far as convincing people to make a decision, it's all about persuasion and personality, and she's got it.

Agreed. AOC will develop psychic abilities from a reactor explosion and become Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex.

Undecided on the President part.

If that were true, it still wouldn't matter. People don't care about policy or political stance, they vote on personality.

As long as she has a personality and persuasion, she could have the majority of the country mandated to drink sewer water and they would do it. Policy doesn't matter, being hungry doesn't matter. As long as people have a leader that can convince them to the degree necessary (bigger problems require bigger persuasion) they will do anything.

Trump spouts and fucks up all kinds of bullshit. Nearly half the country still loves him because he's persuasive to them.

I think the internet likes anointing candidates (ron paul, bernie, yang) without realizing they are just an echo chamber that doesn't represent the average voter.

Quite a few users on this board lost their minds after bernie lost the primary and I don't want to see that again so maybe just accept the fact that AOC represents a very small portion of the Democratic party.

If someone with the persuasive ability drops, the ball, sure. Bernie has that same ability as AOC/Trump, but in 2016 he acquiesced to Hillary when he didn't have to.

Could that happen to AOC? Sure, it can happen to anyone, even Trump. I still predict AOC though, because she is on/near their skill level at 30 instead of 75. Give her 10 to 20 years and she will be a force of nature.

That's exactly what people would say about Trump before he was elected. "I don't get it, he's just saying what racists want to hear."

I mean personally I appreciate her ideas more than her personality. The personality just shows that she genuinely believes these things and motivates the base. 430k concurrent viewers at one point last night. Im sure theres at least a decent amount of people whove never voted before that were inspired to do so by that stream.

People were scared of Trump, didn't stop him. The thing was, while what he said was scary, they didn't take him too seriously. That is what the right thinks about AOC. They personally think that everything she says and does is completely ludicrous communism (cause that's what they're told), so as a result, they actually don't take her very seriously. Like I said, when I tell my conservative friends this, they laugh.

15 years of being a liberal boogeyman by places like Fox News might tank her chances of actually being president. Hilary Clinton needing to put up with like 30 years of mainstream scandals instead of like 2 was one of the big reasons she lost to Trump.

But considering 15 years from now the Republican nominee will be Trump's decaying corpse, she might have a real shot.

Fox News won't exist in 5 years, nor will probably any mainstream outlets matter very much in that time.

But yes, the media on the right will boogeyman her. The difference between her and Clinton however, is that Clinton did not have her ability.

We had audio of Trump visually describing himself sexually assaulting women. But he was at such a high level of persuasion, it didn't even matter, he still became President.

I think AOC could do the same. And I don't see her getting into the same level of scandals Clinton did.

She's honestly not a full socialist, but she is further left than Dems. This is where you're wrong. People are tired of traditional Dem and Rep politics. They are moving to further extremes.

That being said, I don't think she will ever become full on socialist, because of what I'm saying here. She has a shot at the Presidency in this sytem as it is. She isn't going to risk going all the way socialist and not becoming President.

I agree, however that depends how the "scandals" towards Joe Biden end up being considered. If conservatives can just make up scandals, it doesn't really matter if AOC stays out of trouble.

I don't think nobody cared about Trump assaulting women due to his persuasion, republicans are just way too cult-minded and favor the party over the country, so as long as Trump is "their guy" he can (and will for all intents and purposes) do no wrong in their minds.Trump isn't really persuading anyone of anything, he's just telling them they're right.

The democrats need to move more left, not right, nobody wants more of the same, they want changes because everyone knows American life as it is needs help. That's why Obama ran on change, and Trump ran on change, even if neither really accomplished a ton of positive change.

That's persuasion. Cult leaders are persuasive. Persuasion can be good or bad. You might call bad persuasion "brainwashing" or "sophistry", but it's still under the branch of persuasion.

He's convincing them it's okay. He's still persuading them.

It might be your instinct to want to undermine his abilities and convince yourself he's really a big dummy, but the guy did it, and he knows what he's doing as far as that goes.
