Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a slight lead over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.

The New York Democratic congresswoman, known as AOC, edges the likely Republican nominee 51% to 49%, in The Argument/Verasight survey released on Tuesday. However, the result was within the poll’s 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote for if the election was between the two of them.

    Not sure if you’ve been paying attention but Americans chose a felon rapist insurrectionist pedophile over a more qualified woman the last two times a woman has been on the ballot.

    Read the room.

    If we run a woman, we will lose. And that doesn’t even take into account that many people who aren’t liberals (independents) do not like AOC because they believe she is too liberal.

      This is a tired trope and fewer and fewer people buy it.

      Clinton and Harris didn’t loose because they were women, they lost because they ran bad campaigns. Clinton was not particularly sympathetic and many people feel she was given the nomination over Sanders because it was her turn. Harris looked like she had some substance early on and then quickly lost her steam.

        I’m glad you choose to ignore objective reality and say stupid, bumbling shit instead.

        Your teachers would be proud of the critical thinking skills you’ve developed. Keep up the good work.
