This Is Not a Drill: Delegate Recruitment Starts Now!
It’s time to start building a team of over 9,000 delegates across the United States who are ready to stand up and stick their necks out for AOC in 2028.
We are professionals, and we are fully committed to ensuring that our candidate is not railroaded like Bernie was in 2016 and 2020. Our team of modern Socialists is focused on identifying and managing activist toxicity levels—we will not waste time on toxic shenanigans.
Our goal is clear: we aim to compile a list of approximately 9,390 Democrats of Socialist persuasion who are willing to dedicate a few hours each month to learn the procedures necessary to become a delegate to the 2028 Democratic National Convention.

We need to recruit 9,000 delegates across the United States who can stand confidently in a room full of liberals and declare:“I AM A SOCIALIST.”
And this is what it looks like when it’s not just AOC saying it.
The reason we need 9,000 delegates who can confidently proclaim “I AM A SOCIALIST” is simple: these individuals must be able to withstand the inevitable finger-pointing by liberals exhibiting toxic behavior. They must have the resilience to endure the criticism without fear—whether it comes at work, at church, or at home.
As someone who holds multiple passports—including an American one—and who has never feared being picked up by ICE, I can speak from five years of personal experience: nothing happens. The liberals and moderates are all bark and no bite.
It’s understandable, however, that this fear is more common among Americans who were born here than those who were naturalized.
Explaining the American left-right divide may seem daunting—especially given that the Republican Party has spent the last 100 years distorting political reality.
Consider Republican Thaddeus C. Sweet, who orchestrated the expulsion of five Socialists from the New York State Assembly in 1920—before the historic split between the Socialists and the Communists.
From the 1950s through the 1980s, J. Edgar Hoover weaponized the FBI to jail Socialists across the country. It took nearly a century before Julia Salazar finally broke the spell—and she was, ironically, a converted Republican.
Meanwhile, articles like this one—“Texas Under Attack: Socialists Scheme to Infiltrate Democratic Party”—go largely unnoticed. For 20 days, nobody contacted us. No angry emails. No threats. In fact, some of the comments on the Yahoo syndication are surprisingly insightful.
Why? Because explaining Socialist ideals isn’t actually difficult. These ideals were never lost—just scattered and distorted by attempts to wrap toxic liberalism in Socialist rhetoric.
And then there’s us—the American Left. A patchwork of factions that, for some reason, seem more toxic than functional when it comes to engaging in political debate.
Over the past two decades, I’ve met most of the so-called leaders of the American Left and studied their politics. Many are still clinging to outdated tactics, including “trashing”—a strategy used to discredit voices like mine.
Now, it’s up to you—the reader of this newsletter—to decide: Is becoming a delegate for AOC in 2028 more important than the lies and infighting pushed by the toxic Left?
That’s why, with a few trusted comrades, we launched Social Democrats of America, an organization that works exclusively inside the Democratic Party. We don’t waste time with theatrics—we do the work.
A recent example of that toxicity came from the Twitter account Brooklyn for Bernie, which on July 23, 2025, posted this smear: https://x.com/BKforBernie/status/1948113410270634108, insinuating that I mistreat women. If calling out corrupt politicians and activists who happen to be women makes me “guilty,” then so be it.
But getting AOC into a position of real power in 2028 requires all of us to organize strategically—and that means understanding key dates and deadlines.
Every county across the United States has its own political calendar. If you believe in AOC, it’s your responsibility to learn your local rules and help build the movement where you live.
It all starts by reading your state’s Delegate Selection Plan, which you can find on the Rep My Block website: https://repmyblock.org/state/draft/aoc (under Drafting Docs.)
And it starts now.
Whatever your level of commitment, we promise not to involve you in endless toxic distractions. We’re focused. We’re disciplined.
We’re about the business—and that business is making sure our candidate is not railroaded like Bernie was in 2016 and 2020.
We are the Socialists. We keep the toxicity low. We build power.
Share the AOC 2028 website with anyone ready to take that stand: https://aoc2028.us.
In solidarity,
