Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I would under NO circumstances vote for this individual.She is an embarrassment. Listening to her ridiculous ideas makes me cringe .I do not even take her seriously.A federal jobs guarantee to all out of work people so no one in the US will be out of work is just one of her Unbelievably absurd proposals.If I did not actually see and hear her state this In one of her foolish speeches on video I would not have believed it.

My feelings are mutual
I wouldn’t vote for that dimwit idiot under any circumstances. If she ever becomes president I think there will be a lot of states sucede, hopefully peacefully. The poll above indicates there is a lot of very radical people on this website!!

Trajan61 The poll also indicates how fanatical hatred for an individual can override common sense and logic
It's good to know that you have no issues with a President who lies at the rate of 10 per day, is best friends with Putin and Kim Jong Un, and brags about groping women, but you would want to secede over someone who favors a single-payer health care system and taxation of the rich. You have your priorities straight, alright.
"sucede"
Point made.
It is a sad commentary on the intellectual capacity of the general public in that they put her where she is .

i would vote for a used piece of toilet paper against trump. i am neither dissing nor endorsing aoc by saying that. i am just saying that in the primaries i will vote for whoever seems as if s/he would make the best president, and in the general i will vote democratic, period.

I would vote for a baked potato rather than tRump. I consider not voting to be a cowardly act. Non-voters helped elect tRump. And if you don't vote you cannot bitch about the results.

She is brilliant in her own right and most certainly not compared to him!!
Look if you’ve followed me at all then you know that I am beyond annoyed with people who are obsessed with trump.
But at the same time I’m not a fan of HRC’s best friend either. So no I didn’t vote for him nor would I if he runs again. But for now he’s the president and that’s that.
Ok AOC she’s bringing transparency to politics so be happy for that. She is young has somethings to learn so no not yet maybe in he next election but not this one.
But Bernie if the DNC doesn’t fuck us again would make a great president.

Who is Hillary's best freind? And have you ever researched the lies told about Hillary or you just beleive because you don't like strong powerful women
@benhmiller Trump and have you ever researched the relationship between her and trump.
And show me a stronger woman than Tulsi Gabbard then I’ll agree with you but nice shot by the way. ?
@Veteran229 Ok what about her other than she’s the worse choice for the UN but it will be quite interesting when she becomes the Vice President
There's no "that's that" about the Trump presidency. The Mueller probe is ongoing. The House is now in Democrat hands and they are exercising their duty of oversight. If evidence of criminal wrongdoing is produced by either one, Trump deserves impeachment and conviction.
Hell, the Republican party was willing, nay eager, to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about a hummer in the Oval Office. Trump was cozying up to our enemies before he was even elected, and has continued doing so, ignoring his own national security apparatus. He violates the emoluments clause and essentially accepts bribes from foreign governments. He commits high crimes and misdemeanors because he doesn't know the difference.
@Paul4747 Ok so first off you’re gonna get me going and then just leave me that for hours!?
Seriously I shouldn’t even acknowledge you at this point but when it comes to this shit I’m just a hoe that can’t say no.
Ok ok bill was hunted down with a vengeance and in hindsight it would’ve been better if they’d gotten him for something real it would’ve been better for us all but they didn’t.
And it’s kinda saddening to see that the revenge mindset hasn’t escaped the Democratic side but I really shouldn’t be surprised to see the slaves rooting for their master to beat another slave master as his cheers him on.
Russia wasn’t our enemy until they stopped us from using terrorist to overthrow Assad but that’s another bullshit propaganda issue all in itself.
And yes the mueller proper is ongoing and yes there’s a good chance that he might find something on trump that could possibly lead towards an impeachment hearing.
So let’s say that Congress gets its wish. Who in the senate is going to sign off on his impeachment?
Most likely he’ll receive the same punitive treatment that Clinton did and the cycle of stupidity begins again yay?
@maturin1919 Your moms shady as shit.
@maturin1919 Fucking waking and reading your shit just brought out that side of me. ?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was born on 13th October, 1989. That means that she will be 31 years old on the day of the 2020 Presidential elections.
Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution, a candidate must be at least 35 years old to hold the office, so she is not eligible to run in 2020. Since Trump is already running in the 2020 election, he is unlikely to be running in 2024 (if he wins in 2020, he will have served two terms and be prohibited from seeking a third, and if he loses in 2020, the Republicans are unlikely to let him have the nomination again in 2024).
Depending on who wins in 2020, I would be willing to consider her as a candidate in 2024.
I also note that your poll is effectively a "push-poll" that is structurally guaranteed to artificially inflate the appearance of support for Trump by uniting the pro-trump votes and splitting the rest of the electorate between two other options. It also uses biased language towards one of the two people and neutral language toward the other. This is therefore a misleading poll, and any results are effectively meaningless and inherently suspect.
Note that I have not expressed any personal opinion about either of the candidates, but it is clear that this "poll" is either poorly designed or designed deliberately to produce misleading results.

Who I might vote for has nothing to do with how people on this site feel about Trump. Who I would vote for depends more on my assessment of how good a job Trump has done in office, and he has set this country back decades in less than two years. He has undercut civil rights, health care, women's rights, and religious freedom, to mention but a few. It's not her vs. him; it's his abilities vs. other people's abilities. If you want to take a shot at AOC, do it directly, with specific and examples, not snide asides.

So you would vote for someone who would destroy the country over Trump?
Your biased poll is biased.

why because we can think and just not follow blindly
@benhmiller Let's look at the phrasing of choice 2: "I would definitely vote for Trump over this knucklehead". So, the poll's either attempting comic phrasing, sarcasm (calling Ocasio-Cortez a "genius" in the opening question, then a "knucklehead" ), or, I believe, is revealing a bias on the part of the OP.
An unbiased question thread would simply be:
"Hypothetically, would you vote for Ocasio-Cortez if she ran against Trump; 1) yes; 2) no; 3) undecided".
It's very easy to phrase an unbiased poll. And then you have this one, that uses loaded words like "hatred", "genius", and "knucklehead".
I wonder if you've thought about that?
@Paul4747 You make some good points here ,but unfortunately I have definitely observed a deep fanatical hatred toward Trump in the many posts on this site .Case In point is the Trumpinata site that bashes Trump on a daily basis .Members have called him a pos ,wished him dead etc Do you think a Obamapinata site would ever be tolerated, or even exist,I am sorry but I do not think so .
@Emanuele Number one, there's no shortage of people on the site who fanatically hate Obama; see any number of posts by Trajan61 for example. He regularly makes exactly the same type of remarks about President Obama and any number of Democrats, not to mention their supporters here. Are they tolerated? They certainly are.
Second, if anyone formed such a group, why wouldn't it be tolerated? I don't see it having a large membership, any more than the Conservative Atheists, in fact I believe the members would be pretty much identical, but it would be tolerated.
The main reason Trump draws so much hatred, frankly, is that he makes a lot of hateful remarks and does a lot of hateful things. He bragged about sexual assaults on women. He lies about illegal immigrants being violent criminals; in fact, the crime rate is lower among immigrants. He makes up statistics that can be proven to be lies, and then repeats them. He currently (by Politifact's fact check rating) lies 69% of the time in his public statements. He once lied 83 times in one day on the campaign trail. And when his lies are shown to be lies, he doubles down and keeps lying. By the end of 2018 he was over 7,500 lies. He lied once every 2 minutes during the State of the Union address, for the love of... whatever you love.
By way of comparison, Obama had a 23% rating for False and Mostly False statements combined, and 1% Pants On Fire lies. Would I prefer that he had never told a lie? Yes. But that's probably not going to happen for any politician.
I think the important thing is that Obama is not the kind of man who would think that having an affair with a porn star while his third wife wife was in the hospital having his fifth child qualifies him to give other people moral advice. Trump does. That's why people hate him. Among many other reasons, but that's an outstanding one.
It's a hard choice considering we know so little about her. A vote should be one about knowledge not emotion.

I think her knowledge is pretty up front and obvious. IMO
@patchoullijulie That may be but it is still early.
@JackPedigo Can't argue on that point.
