The New York Democratic congresswoman would narrowly defeat the likely Republican nominee 51 percent to 49 percent, according to the poll.

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.

      You used to hear people in other countries say they have nothing against the American people, they just hate the American government.

      The reality is, the American government is the American people. The enormous effort that goes into gerrymandering and screwing with voter registration just goes to show that it is still a democracy, and the pieces of shit running things are the pieces of shit we picked.

      Even with all the gerrymandering and rigging that goes on, they still needed a metric shit ton of fuckwits to vote for them. If Americans weren’t astoundingly stupid, we wouldn’t be in the situation we’re in.

      However, don’t everyone go patting yourselves on the back just yet. Stupid isn’t limited to America.
