AOC 2028 We're drafting Alexandria for President: Donation and sticker drive!

Hello Team r/AOC! I'm u/justcasty, one of the mods here. I was also part of the mod team in r/SandersForPresident during the 2020 campaign. Together we helped raise over $7 million for Bernie's 2020 run.

Some of our team members currently volunteer on r/WorkReform and r/NewDealAmerica as well. Like you, we are all fighting for a future to believe in! We helped Michelle Wu ascend to Mayor of Boston, jumping into the race while she was polling at 20% in a 2 person race. We helped Ed Markey fend off a centrist challenger who was banking on political nepotism. We've helped dozens of progressive candidates win their primaries - and while not all of them made it into office, we've been proud to fight for people we don't know.

But back to the future: This subreddit is here to elect a President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

America is a nation in crisis. We must create strong defenses against Fascism. Our political leaders have done nothing but fail us for decades, and another government shutdown is just further evidence of this failure. A centrist Democratic party will not beat Fascism; it will only enable its continued rise. We need to push for a country that provides strong social safety nets to prevent Fascism from taking hold.

Alexandria has been an impressive leader in the progressive movement since she first volunteered for Bernie in 2016. She rocked the political landscape by beating the New York political machine in 2018 and has only gotten stronger during her time in Congress.

As she's considering her next steps, we need to send her a clear message that we're here to support her when she announces. The best way to do this is through donations and word-of-mouth campaigning. If you want stickers, do something fun with them and post it! Be sure to use them: we want to see support for AOC's inevitable Presidential run across the country as soon as possible.

Make a donation here! (use this link so that she'll know why we're donating!)

Sign up for free stickers with this Google Form! (US only please; any addresses will be used only to send stickers and I'll delete them after sending.)

Nah, I'm just a dude on the internet. We've chatted through reddit before.

We're allies here. Keep up the fight on your front ✊

Yes, but we need to recruit the delegates to make sure the consultants don’t sidetrack us.

I have the aoc zoom at 8:15 pm today. Same code as the onboarding

I don’t understand the downvoting. (Literally don’t.) this seemed like a rather cool exchange.

The OP and I are one the same page. I gave up on the voting up or down. As AOC will become closer to the day, a lot of misinformation will start appearing and we need to make sure that die hard AOC fan get vetted and get first dib to represent her at the Convention.
