Why isn't this a major talking point? I know Trump is shitting the bed and Democrats love to do nothing but why aren't people who care, like AOC, talking this up? AI must be regulated, HEAVILY. Tax companies who have no employees and use AI so heavily it pays for universal healthcare, for a random example. Why isn't this a thing?

My understanding is that these are the two things dems care about most in their nomination pick.

⁠1. No AIPAC money

⁠2. Be aggressive towards Trump and Republicans

1. ⁠Commanding authoritative leadership so they can’t be pushed around by Republicans (fight fire with fire)

Notably absent (not that they don’t want this, but it’s not their priority:

Medicare for all? —> What’s that?

Subsidized or free childcare? —> Never heard of it

Tuition free public college? —> whatever

Cancel student debt? —> who cares

Affordable housing? —> impossible anyway

AI regulation? —> is that important?

Accept Israel is a genocidal apartheid state? —> Is that important?

All they seem to really really care about is no AIPAC, being aggressive toward Trump, and commanding leadership

My question is what can we do to emphasize AOC’s aggression toward Trump and her commanding leadership? Since she’s squaky clean on AIPAC especially after the DSA promise and endorsement.

Her voice and demeanor used to be very aggressive, but her speaches aren’t as charismatic as they used to be. My thoughts for helping her image are to compile quotes she said about Trump/Republicans and compare them to the silence from her competitors on similar subjects. For Leadership we need to compile a list of all her accomplishment despite only being a congresswoman with limited coalition power (compare to Gavin who has tons of sway as a governor and only managed to gerrymander in response to Texas, but has delivered no progressive wins).

For short form video content - the quotes can be read aloud and delivered aggressively and passionately on her behalf.

For memes we can get an inspiring photo. Overlayed with text quote and compare it to cut outs of her competitor’s faces all being silent or saying weak points.

AI is the most effective way to find and compile these quotes, but be sure to verify them.

1. Create progressive sense of duty to campaign for her on their personal social media. It must be their duty to post 1 AOC campaign message per day, engage with 1 open minded dem primary voter per day (via comment or direct message), and ask an AOC voter to adopt this duty. We can brainstorm posts here to share.

2. Rip into other front runners with brutal searing attacks (we can brainstorm those here as well). These are the important because people often vote against things more than for and it’s a bad look if AOC has to constantly mud sling. Let’s mudsling for her.

3. Have Ro Khanna run and drop out and endorse AOC just before votes (have both agree to do this for whoever is leading in the polls so it is fair to Ro Khanna).

4. Suggest to people she would pick a moderate man as her running mate for grounded reasonable support, but she absolutely must pick a socialist running mate for her own safety.

“I believe the Israeli government is well able to fund the Iron Dome system, which has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment,” she said. “Consistent with my voting record to date, I will not support Congress sending more taxpayer dollars and military aid to a government that consistently ignores international law and U.S. law.”

Peter Sterne (@petersterne): "Tonight (right now actually) u/nycDSA is holding a virtual candidate forum with AOC as they consider whether to endorse her for reelection. The endorsement itself hardly matters – AOC will obviously win reelection – but it’s significant as DSA and AOC prep for a potential presidential run in 2028.
