I'll admit it, I don't want her, either (not that someone like me has any influence). But she'd be a better option than Joe.

Especially if she picks the right VP. And please, for fucks sake, I hope they do a good job picking a VP. Don't rule out cishet white males, as a for instance, FFS. The Democrats love to play stupid identity political games and constantly do these self-owns. Although if AOC has a clone they could choose as a VP, that would be fantastic. But that's not because they tick some arbitrary set of diversity checkboxes....it's about policies.

I cannot stand her or the dems. Literally have voted 3rd party all my life, but I have family in Ukraine and the EU and I'll be damned if my need to hate on the dems and repubs is stronger than letting that fascist turnip into power just to let russia kill my family members.

What third party? America doesn't really have any (that matter, anyway).

Green party or libertarian. It's not that I agree with either of them totally, I do it because I believe we need other parties represented. Unfortunately the red and blue teams are keeping us from that because neither wants to get rid of fptp voting. It's what keeps them in power.

I’m in the same boat. I started libertarian, switched to Green Party and never bothered to update it as they faded into irrelevance. I think I switched to Democratic just so I could vote for Bernie in the primary. But voting D in this election is obviously critical if we want to be able to have more than 1 party available as an option going forward, let alone 2 or 3 or more than that.
