I'm with her on Biden:) rainy May 2019 #1

I think AOC should at least keep an open mind on Biden... InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #63

To be fair, she said "in a primary." Sounds like she might change her mind if he ends up with Luciferous May 2019 #119

Yes, of course... no question AOC will support the Democratic nominee in the general, whomever it is InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #131

You know the Republican propoganda machine has been successful John Fante May 2019 #44

The DSA is an extreme organization. crazytown May 2019 #45

Exactly! And you have to wonder ... KPN May 2019 #103

I don't have to wonder one minute about the revolutionary left crazytown May 2019 #105

A little hyperbolic i'd say not to mention incendiary in that KPN May 2019 #106

I would not have said it unless I believed it. crazytown May 2019 #109

I honestly don't think there are more than 10,000 "revolutionary" leftists in the United States. Laelth May 2019 #144

AOC an "extremist"? That's helpful to building party cohesion. KPN May 2019 #102

Why not ? CentralMass May 2019 #57

She has overplayed her hand on this particular issue. Blue_true May 2019 #3

And she will support the nominee in the general. rusty quoin May 2019 #82

Who cares who she backs in a primary? Loki Liesmith May 2019 #6

My thoughts exactly. And who even needs to hear that from her? brush May 2019 #71

Just don't then. Iliyah May 2019 #7

Ok, Biden is done for. dalton99a May 2019 #8

"the left's apathy towards the former vice-president" TwilightZone May 2019 #34

He may be dominating the polls because the progressive vote is split among great candidates. JudyM May 2019 #47

He has roughly the same support as the next three candidates combined. TwilightZone May 2019 #50

The next 4 after him are quite a bit more progressive/left than he is. When their poll numbers JudyM May 2019 #99

I don't think so. His numbers have been more than all the others combined, on occasion. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #125

A bit of a mystery, I suppose. We'll find out as it all unfolds... JudyM May 2019 #130

I hope so. I hope there's more of a competition than this. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #135

Good. That will help him here in Florida. Other places as well. GulfCoast66 May 2019 #41

I would be 'hard pressed' to care who she supports in primary 4now May 2019 #43

Has she opened her NY office in her district yet? NYMinute May 2019 #52

What I have noticed is the Guardian really seems to go out of its way to cast dispersions on Biden still_one May 2019 #78

AOC is convinced that calling out only goes in one direction RelativelyJones May 2019 #79

It is sort of like a bar NYMinute May 2019 #85

Susan Sarandon was her biggest backer. Is anyone surprised by this? n/t Tarheel_Dem May 2019 #80

Oh? What basis do you say this on? KPN May 2019 #107

Did you ever admit that you were wrong about that "online poll"? n/t Tarheel_Dem May 2019 #110

I like her answer. LuvLoogie May 2019 #81

That can only help Biden LongtimeAZDem May 2019 #83
