Michael Star Hopkins

[Kings over Queens]

Anyone know about this guy, Michael Star Hopkins?

 

Apparently he wrote an Op-Ed for The Hill where he calls on AOC to be the Democratic Primary challenger to Biden.  Is this guy someone to pay attention too, or just some left wing nut job?  

 

In an op-ed for The Hill, Hopkins compared the congresswoman to former President Barack Obama as the "fresh air" Democrats need for their party.

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is less of a personality and more of a movement. Yes, the smart, photogenic congresswoman is the face of the rising progressive movement, but she is also the future of the Democratic Party. AOC has cultivated a following beyond politics. She’s an influencer in its purest form. Her ability to relate to her supporters and allow them a glimpse into her private life is a blueprint for Democrats trying to act less like mannequins and more like humans," Hopkins wrote.

He added, "She’s the voice of a movement that began after the banks were bailed out by the government, while homeowners were left to default. The simplicity with which she talks about everyday struggles hints that she’s not just a persona for consumption. She isn’t beholden to corporations, is a prodigious small-dollar fundraiser, and could out-Trump Trump like no other politician has been able to."

 

Although Hopkins previously supported President Joe Biden in 2020, he has since admitted that Biden "deserves a primary challenger" in 2024 to provide a "fighter" for the Democrats.

In his perspective, if Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is the "Godfather" of the progressive movement, then "Ocasio-Cortez is Michael Corleone."

"AOC wields a superpower that is rarely found in Washington: She isn’t afraid to lose. Her 2018 victory wasn’t just historic, it was shocking, and felt predestined — much like when we first saw a brilliant speaker with a funny name and big ears remind us that through hope and change we could put our country on a new course," Hopkins wrote. "AOC has the ability to tell the story of her generation."

Ill have a dry martini. Doubt she could make one.

This guy is clearly a loon. AOC is the embodiment of the failure that our political system has become.

I don’t know about AOC being a personality, influencer or a movement but she certainly is NUTS!

The only thing I know about Michael Star Hopkins is that he doesn't know what "photogenic" means.

[Dave S]

he's from NJ 

 

him and AOC are cut from the same cloth

[Alferd Packer]

Given he has, and uses, his middle name, “Star” gives the nod towards him being a loon. The subject matter of the article just confirms it. 
 

What the ph**k is he thinking? She’s utterly unqualified, she’d be eaten alive (ok that could be fun to watch)! Clearly a guy who spends way too much time on progressive/ woke Twitter.

AOC very accurately represents the majority of the current generation.  She really does.

 

And if that doesn't prove that Americans, as a whole, really aren't worth half a damn anymore, I don't know what does.

It would be great if she ran just to watch heads explode. 
 

while she lives rent free in your heads

and the mental anguish she would inflict on the overly emotional right would be a joy to watch. I don’t think it’s a good idea.

If she did/does run, which won't happen, Republican heads won't explode. Their bellies might split from all the laughter at the continuous amount of stupid that would spew from her mouth. She does check a few dem boxes though, Hispanic, woman......to bad she isn't a rug muncher, she'd be a shoe in. Dems love gimmickry. 

The only candidate who would cause heads to explode is Trump, and I doubt he is running. I certainly hope he doesn't.

[ridenfish]

Will she twerk for votes? Leftists love it when their people do stuff like this.

A socialist is the, fresh air, we need! 
 

Let that sink in

It would end up being Democrat heads that would be exploding.

 

With all the dumb things she says with limited exposure can you imagine all the stupid if she were on the full time national stage?

If their heads aren't exploding with what potatohead says, there won't be anything with AOC's gums flapping.

Dems are duds.
