    Candidates can still signal their intentions in other ways. It doesn’t have to be out loud per se.

    The main concern I have—and if she’s going to give it a shot, give it a shot, I say—is that she won’t have the fire or aura necessary in her rhetoric to capture the anger the of the American left. I would love to be proven wrong, though. I’d certainly trust her more than that fuckin snake Gavin Newsom.

      When she speaks, I feel her intelligence, commitment, strength, and FIRE. She NEVER backs down from a fight, and she always has a withering comeback to MAGA insults.

      The more people see and hear her, the more people are going to live her. I’d love to see her in a presidential debate with Trump, or any other MAGA.

        Didn’t she back down from Nancy Pelosi over the Gaza dome stuff?

        The fire I’m talking about needs to burn away the establishment rot in the Democrat party. It cannot be afraid to criticize Merrick Garland for failing to prosecute Trump because it might make the party look bad.

        The party has a reputation for doing nothing. This fire cannot promise nothing; people will see through it right away.

        I don’t remember the content of the speech, but I do remember that during the last national convention, AOC did rouse the crowd better than pretty much anyone else there. I’m not saying she can’t be the one. I am saying there’s got to be a hell of a lot more than a Fighting Oligarchy tour that fails to really accomplish anything.

      I dont think our champion has emerged yet. Someone will be catapulted forward, maybe even by luck.
