There’s an old perpetual motion money machine in D.C. And it goes something like this. Politicians raise money to run for office. And they run for office to raise money. Anyone who’s been around the block a few times remembers ‘candidates’ with no serious plan or a credible candidacy, but took off on social media and raised millions (or even more) and wasted them on a bid with no other purpose than to raise money.
(And if you’ve also been around the block or read The Point regularly, you know some of the tricks politicians can use to turn campaign donations into cold hard cash.)
So that brings us to AOC and her nearly $10 million.
AOC raised nearly $10 million in the first quarter of 2025—a haul in line with some presidential candidates.
That’s a whole lot of money for a congresswoman in a non-competitive lefty district who couldn’t lose an election.
Is AOC finally going to primary Schumer? While AOC wouldn’t win an actual election against Schumer, New York’s Dem primaries are fraudulent exercises overseen by radicals who think Stalin was too liberal. (I’m not exaggerating.) So it would get ugly with no easy winner since New Yorkers don’t like either politician very much.
Certainly the leftists helping her raise $10 million expect her to go big, but they may be missing the point.
AOC’s currency isn’t real legislative power (her legislative accomplishments are on par with Bernie Sanders) but attention. She got the influencer economy long before almost everyone except Trump did. AOC got the playbook the way few Republicans who wanted to be the next Trump did. While AOC would love to be president, I don’t know that she’s lusting after Schumer’s seat. It would bolster her reputation, but I never got the sense she likes the actual work of legislating either. What’s more effective is the leverage she has built up now by getting concessions from Schumer by being able to threaten his position. If she actually ran against him and won, she really wouldn’t be that much more of a national figure than she already is now. And if she ran and lost, her power would be destroyed and she would be a joke..
Maybe AOC plans to run for something or maybe she’s playing coy and suggesting that she might to raise more cash.
Stalin was into Lysenkoism. He nearly ruined Soviet Science that way. One of my favorite stories is how the one group of scientists he left alone was nuclear physicists, because he wanted the bomb so bad 🙂
AOC may feel for herself, or be led by her followers, that she could be the next JFK, WJC, or BHO.
Why wait to be a senator? And with a team of democrat operatives ready to steal the next
election… Nuf sed

I can almost guarantee most of it will be going into her offshore bank account.
They call her AOC so she’s not confused with Nancy Pelosi. She’s America’s OTHER .
The Democrat Party and AOC have a superpower, and that is their stupidity and the stupidity of their voters.
What do donkeys think? They think Alexandria Ocrazio Cretin looks just like them but is dumber. What a buck toothed retard.
Spot-on once again by Mr. Greenfield.
“AOC raised nearly $10 million in the first quarter of 2025—a haul in line with some presidential candidates.

That call to mind another member of “The Squad,” ilhan Omar/Elmi, representative of the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. Why such hauls to win these measly U.S. House races?
Mr. Greenfield. I don’t know how things work out in New York, but in Minneapolis, the going rate for a blank ballot is $14.00. It used to be a nice round ten bucks but…Bidenflation.
Every American city is run by the Democrat Party. Why? Because their “defund the police” message resonates with the public? No. It’s because they cheat. And they pay to play. And quite frankly, their opposition is pathetic.
I’m still trying to figure out how she entered Congress with under $3,000 in her bank account (her own words), but is now has over $29,000,000 in her bank account. The $10 mil could make it $39,000,000 if she so chooses.
How do you know she has 29 million in her personal bank account?
Hard to believe she’s still around but considering the long careers of all the other grifters she’ll be there until she dies.
AOC is just a puppet, she is the mouth piece of the evil squad.
They all have ties to islamic terrorist organizations.
