AOC calling on the Dems in the Senate to vote to block every Trump nominee and block every GQP legislative measure.

 
I'd draw a marginal difference between confirmation votes and votes on legislation. Trump, by convincing enough fucking idiots to vote for him, is entitled to appointees of his choice who meet reasonable qualification criteria. Some, but certainly not all, of his nominees meet that standard. On the other hand, if I were a Dem member of Congress, I would be an automatic no on any legislation. The Pubs who control everything could theoretically propose something reasonable enough to get my attention, but there's nothing within in a mile of that ballpark so far.
 
I feel gross asking this, but who’s the young white man that can talk the talk and walk the walk alongside AOC? I know a lot of folks dig Jackson, but I just don’t see his profile rising to that level. Beshear probably can’t, or else risk Kentucky going hard maga in 2027. If this country wasn’t so fucking racist and misogynistic, I’d be all about AOC carrying the standard.
 
I think Andy Beshear, Josh Shapiro, and Jeff Jackson all have good potential.
Bashear and Jackson yes. Shapiro is great but “Murica” ain’t voting for a Jew for President any more than they would for Pete Buttigieg (my personal favorite). So, I’m on the Bashear train right now.

To be clear, I’m not talking President. I’m merely talking a Dem standard bearer who can rally Dem and populist white attention. I’m firmly in the camp that believes free and fair presidential elections are finished, for a while. The Dems are going to need their Nalvany (I recognize he had some gross beliefs) to emerge NOW, because Trump and Musk are pushing the Putin mafioso model, and once it’s embedded, the power of rhetorical resistance fades quickly.

My sincere hope is that she is the standard and all dims are viewed as she is. Sounds like you didn't hear, but there was recently an election and she and people like here were the reasons dimocrats lost. If you have any hope of regaining some level of your lost voters you should drop aoc, and warren, and the rest of the far left and run as fast as possible to Jeff Jackson. He would have beaten trump. He appeals to almost everyone not on the far right or far left. That guy oozes America. He might be that one person who could unite the country as much as is possible.
