Elijah Manley was still a teenager when his frustration with President Trump pushed him to get involved in politics. Today, he’s finally old enough to run for Congress. Upset with how his own Democratic Party is responding to Trump, he’s decided to do just that.

    Critical that the next generation are immune to AIPAC. That is the only way to break free of the Zionist chokehold

      Jesus tap dancing Christ, I thought she left Congress when she gave up the speakership! Amazing and disappointing to learn differently…

      This country is nowhere near ready to elect a woman. Put AOC up and you hand the election to the republicans again.

    The next AOC?
    So more groomed and astroturfed ‘champion for the peoples’ to create the ilusion there is some leftism in the uniparty and keep the flock from choosing 3rd party.

      Someone becoming a brand name like AOC did is certainly possible, they just need to make room for themselves very quickly.

      Let’s be honest. The left is dying for anyone with half a brain and an entire heart to step up.

        Yeah, the “leftists” in some places can’t bring themselves to support any Democrat. Some can’t even support democratic elections. They call Democrats “libs” and hate them for not fixing all problems. And they spent a lot of time and capital grinding their views prior to the 2024 election. Since then they’ve been quieter, but I expect that to change the closer we get to midterms.

        It’s really weird.
