To say the Democrat Party is a rudderless mess is an understatement. I observe what they do every day, and it’s clear the party is conflicted about whether to go full leftist socialist with its younger members, which will cause them to lose lots of races, or whether to stick to their lefty-lite position with older members while pretending to be moderates.
Chuck Todd, formerly of NBC News, weighed in on a poll that shows online Democrat voters are leaning towards Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the face of the Democrat Party. (READ)
Would love to see this data by party. Overall, AOC is the runaway pick for face of the Dem Party in this YouGov poll https://t.co/wmQoNVLOtQ

All this does is prove democrats are clueless

I believe this poll is halfway right. I also believe the Democratic party is faceless and has a leadership vacuum.

The @DNC is gone. These 3 are completely nuts.
How pathetic.
The main reason these three are rising to the top is that they are actively engaging voters by using social media and putting themselves in front of audiences. There is also no leader in the party to restrain them, so they do what they want.
Posters realize that AOC would not only be a disaster for her party but a disaster for our country if she ended up in the White House. Vladimir Putin and others would eat her alive.
Well, that would be a disaster. Imagine AOC sitting across from Putin, Xi, or any world leader—as Commander-in-Chief. 🤣 As if they’d take her seriously. Be careful what you hype. This is what happens when MSM chooses narrative over facts.

AOC is a fine choice as a messenger, GOTV'er, activist to excite the base, etc., but no way she's ready to sit across the table from Putin as President while negotiating the future of the world.

She’ll never be ready for such a position of power.

That said, I fully support AOC as the face of the party and forerunner for the Dem Party presidential nomination. MAGA and Republicans mostly agree, but not because we think she’s a good candidate. Quite the opposite.
She is always the Republicans favorite pick

Keep her the face of the dem party and we republicans will sweep both House and Senate in the next election!

oh lovely, a Drama Queen Marxist to head the Dem party. We'll see Rs in power for 12+ years like 1980-92. She's even far worse

We could get a good ten years or more of non-Democrat rule.
If AOC is the best the Dems have, then the party is destined to wander in the political desert for a decade or so.
if AOC is the best leader that Democrats can produce they are cooked lol

too progressive for most
If AOC is the person, the Democrats are in serious trouble…they already are. They will just get worse.

The fundamental transformation chickens have come home to roost. Turns out embracing socialism and weird policies has unintended consequences that bring only damage to the party. Good.

She will be crushed. Not a good pick.

Bernie Sanders is older than dirt, and AOC is dumber than a box of rocks, but this is who a large number of Democrat voters are pining for and elevating. The Democrat Party needs solid leadership to put AOC in her place and distance itself from Independent Bernie Sanders. Those two are going to make it hard for the party to win nationally if they keep taking on a growing role in the party. They have my full support!
