What is Draft AOC 2028?
We are Social Democratic Socialists—or simply Socialists—and we’ve been organizing for over 140 years. Our accomplishments are highlighted in this video.
Around the world, the left is generally divided into four main currents: the Greens, the Communists, the Mélenchonistes, and us—the Socialists.
In the United States, however, the political landscape is distorted.
Liberals are mistakenly considered part of the "left," Social Democratic Socialists are nearly nonexistent, and the word "Socialist" is misused—particularly by the U.S. equivalents of the Mélenchonistes or DSA.
Thanks to Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the real American left has been galvanized.
Bernie's policies are despised by Liberals, and AOC represents the next generation of leadership. With Bernie unlikely to run again, AOC is perfectly positioned for a presidential run in 2028.
The Draft AOC 2028 initiative aims to organize a broad coalition of true leftists across the United States.
If you haven’t signed on yet, please take a moment to complete this short survey and indicate your interest in becoming a delegate for AOC at the 2028 Democratic National Convention: https://www.repmyblock.org/aboutaoc/draft/aoc.
Our goal is to prevent the leftist narrative from being hijacked by slick and shoddy professional consultants, as explained in our April 20, 2025 entry.
This space is open to the whole left but ...
This organizing space is open to the entire American left. We’ve extended invitations to numerous groups, including: Communist Party USA, Social Democrats USA, Democratic Socialists of America, Our Revolution, Indivisible, Green Party US, US Pirate Party, Party for Socialism and Liberation, Justice Democrats, Working Families Party, Socialist Alternative, Team AOC.
None of them responded.
We leave it to you—the reader—to explore those organizations and ask why they refuse to engage. As someone who’s been a member or observer of these groups for the past 30 years, I’ve seen many of them try and fail repeatedly.
What about the Social Democrats of America?
As for us, We welcome everyone who believes in the following core rights: Free Education, Universal Health Care, Anti-Death Penalty, Pro-Abortion, Universal Basic Income, the Right to Unionize, the sanctity of the Separation of Church and State, and the belief that the Government should make life bearable for all.
And we believe this change must be built within the Democratic Party at the county level.
If by August 2027, AOC decides not to run, we will support a democratic process within each faction to choose their own candidate.
As for us at SDA, we will use the opportunity to train ourselves in the presidential campaign process by running Paperboy Love Prince.
Why subscribe?
To coordinate local work at the county level, track progress across the country, and continue negotiations between leftist factions.
The more subscribers we have, the stronger our case for unity becomes.
Let’s build the future—together.
In solidarity,
Hasta la victoria, ¡siempre!
