Well, that's the "Trump path". Was a great 4 years while before biden derailed everything.
He wasn't wrong. It's common sense.Those who vote have seemingly decided Alexandria does have the acumen for political office. Stalin was wrong. I do appreciate seeing him quoted nowadays. And of course Mark Twain lol.
Your premise assumes only two directions. Perhaps the majority of Americans see the direction that Republicans wish to take America as worse than the direction that Democrats are taking the country? They're choosing the lesser of two evils, to use the common political trope.
Note that I said to find candidates who propose a path that a majority will think is better. Trump fans are a minority.
Lower gas prices, lower food prices, lower mortgage rates, and more peace in the world are evil?
Trump wasn't even a candidate in this election, so why do you bring up his "fans"?
Oh, I keep forgetting that everything is about Trump.
As I mentioned, not all her ideas are fabulous. But she's willing to give the effort to find solutions to problems. She has an infectious energy that resonates with voters. I wish more politicians would give more of themselves to better America.He wasn't wrong. It's common sense.
And if you think AOC has the acumen for her office I'd say you haven't been paying attention to her term in office.

How has she bettered America?As I mentioned, not all her ideas are fabulous. But she's willing to give the effort to find solutions to problems. She has an infectious energy that resonates with voters. I wish more politicians would give more of themselves to better America.
Did they promise you a puppy too?Lower gas prices, lower food prices, lower mortgage rates, and more peace in the world are evil?

She takes her job seriously and works on solving problems. She sets a good example. For politicians and especially young voters. Just because you don't care for her views doesn't make her bad at her job. I don't especially like Romney's views but I certainly have the ability to respect him as a politician. And his lukewarm ability to acknowledge truth. He dances fairly well for an old guy haha. PeaceHow has she bettered America?

I'm curious what the right direction looks like. I dont think it can he accomplished with any degree of success.In numerous polls prior to the 2022 mid-term election, Americans say they believe America is on the wrong track, or headed in the wrong direction. With democrats in power in both the executive and legislative level, it makes sense that they would not vote to keep the same people in power, but demand change. But instead of change, we appear to be headed for more of the same if the final vote tally continues to indicate that democrats will continue to be the majority in power.

"Nearly three-quarters of voters in a new poll said they believed things in the U.S. were headed in the wrong direction.
An NBC News poll revealed just 21 percent of voters feel the nation is headed in the right direction, while 74 percent think the opposite.
Over half of respondents, or 58 percent, said they feel “more worried that America’s best years may already be behind us,” while 35 percent feel more confident the best years are still ahead.
About a third of respondents, or 34 percent, said they think the state of the nation will worsen over the next five years. Just two percent more, or 36 percent, said they think things will get better in that same time period, and 21 percent said they think things will stay the same."

Doesn't the November 2020 election shenanigans show us that we don't actually vote to be on any track?
AOC was supposedly reelected to an office she has no acumen for.
Allegedly has two degrees, Economics, and Foreign Relations.
Yet when media types wanted to interview this young female bartender who ran unopposed for Congress the first time, the journalists proved they knew more about economics and foreign relations than AOC.
AOC sought to sponsor a cost of living pay raise for all members of Congress when she was a Freshman.
She makes over $100 thousand a year and wants more?
Pelosi accompanied her as AOC addressed the press about her pursuit.
Afterward either Pekosi forgot she was hot mic'd or didn't care, but she could be heard reprimanding AOC saying of her push for a salary hike, that's not how we make our money!
Career politicians. Senator Bryd when he died being the longest serving Senator in our history, show us we've not put them into office all those decades they're there.
Those who make them their money get their monies worth. They're not going to start over with all new incumbents.

What?as opposed to republicans, who had quiet a few people whose only qualifications was they supported the lie taht the election was stolen? And a literal snake oils man who was before congress for selling it?
Those are general opinions that could apply to any Representative.
What good has she done?
There actually is an effort in the GOP to distance themselves from Mitch McConnell. Without Mitch they could have gained the majority in the Senate.When the option is between losing an arm or both legs, it isn’t surprising people opted for the less severe option.
It isn’t necessarily an endorsement of the Democrats, rather a criticism of the Republicans. They still haven’t distanced themselves from the man that has caused so many issues and the main players in the Party now aren’t much different or better.
If the Republicans want to do better, then they need to do better.
Red tribe?She obviously triggers the red tribe lol.
They always fear powerful women. Alexandria is mentioned on foxnews more than our vice president. But a survey of dems found 83% feel she is good for the party. I cannot understand why republicans always feel a need to bash women in the other party. It's a bad habit that may also be another reason republicans can't even take an easy midterm election any longer. I can't really understand why she's of any concern with the issues republicans are now struggling with in their coalition. Foxnews is merely serving to increase her popularity. She might be president one day.
