“New and relatively inexperienced” come now, can we not do this nonsense?

You saying something is nonsense doesn't make it so. AOC would be the youngest president in U.S. history if elected. Her only experience is being a member of the House for 7 years. Only ONCE IN AMERICAN HISTORY (1880) has someone been elected president directly from the House. And I'm not going to accept the argument about Trump having no experience. Liberals are not conservatives. Conservatives openly support felon rapist pedophiles who regularly violate our Constitution and this is not the first time they've elected a TV personality to be president. There is no valuable comparison between us and them.

Begging for useless

How is Mark Kelly useless? He has more experience than AOC and has qualities that connect him with a higher percentage of Americans. The internet doesn't represent reality. If it did Bernie Sanders would be president. Just because AOC is liked on Reddit/Lemmy doesn't mean she stands a better chance than Mark Kelly or makes him "useless".

centrist

Mark Kelly wants to abolish the filibuster in order to pass voting rights legislation. He wants to increase the minimum wage. He is pro choice. He wants to codify Roe v Wade. These are definitely left leaning beliefs.

Mamdani and Al-Sayed and the other progressives seeing support is happening in real-time

Mamdani can never win a national election because he can never become president. He won an election in a DEEP blue area of our country. Al-Sayed has not won the governorship yet. And winning a governorship is a WHOLE DIFFERENT BALLGAME to winning a national election in which he'd have to get racist ass middle America to vote for him, or not vote against him, which simply wouldn't happen.

so take this weird-ass attitude and shove it.

Nah kid. You need to stop allowing your EMOTIONS to dictate your beliefs and start accepting the reality you live in and work within that reality to get as close as possible to what you want. Because enough other people exist in this world that don't want what you want to keep you from having exactly what you want. And the fact that far left candidates and 3rd parties keep losing on a national scale should be enough proof for you. Because right now you don't seem to grasp the difference between a national, federal election and every other election.
