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.

    JFC, “JD” “Vance” is about as appealing as a bucket of piss. How in the fuck is this even close?

    I get it - AOC doesn’t have a dong and so a lot of mouthbreathers rule her out on that alone. But still, Christ. This is the stupid bootlick that called Donvict a Nazi and is now his VP and sits there and chastises one of our allies like some kind of cartoon bully.

      America has repeatedly proven it will not vote for a woman, no matter how qualified she is

        We’ve proven we don’t like centrist women with status quo platforms pretty convincingly. Anything more is speculative imo.

          I guarantee you a far left woman like AOC is not going to get elected. Too many independents think she’s too far left. The right can win by being extreme right. The left can’t win by being extreme left. Not in this shithole.

            Nothing about affordable health care and not trying to actively poison the planet as much as possible is extreme left

            It’d be good if we could define things like “far left”. AOC may be progressive, but not sure she’s really far left anything.

            She’s about where the Democrats used to be and supposedly stood for at one time. Probably pre-Clinton for sure. The Republicans have been dragging the window to the right for years and years and all the money in politics sure ain’t helping.
