    I just don’t think very highly of Americans in general. They are too sexist, too racist, and too elitist.

    They want a rich old white man. Only one time ever did they attempt something else, and that lead directly to a third of the country becoming extremists.

    I love AOC. Hope she will become president one day. But please just run with someone that your sexist, racist, elitist neighbors can actually vote for.

    Let AOC become Senate majority leader first. That would be really cool, impactful, and help people get used to her.

      AOC is having a fucking moment, so naturally women of color suddenly can’t win. Sanders got raked over the coals for just being accused of saying something like that to Warren. But it’s sure different now that the party can’t use it as a weapon against a progressive. Now they’re trying to keep AOC from running. So the party will hold back all women in order to hold back one progressive woman.

      Let AOC become Senate majority leader first. That would be really cool, impactful, and help people get used to her.

      It will give us time to think of a new excuse.

        How is it sudden? Trump won both times you tried running women as president. Your fellow countrymen are bigots, have you not noticed that yet?

        I know you want it, its fine. But the world cant take 4 extra years of whoever heritage chooses to dismantle democracy for them, if i happen to be right.

          Because there’s speculation that AOC might run.

          Trump won both times you tried running women as president.

          Trump won both times we ran uninspiring centrist women for president. AOC is neither uninspiring nor centrist.

          Your fellow countrymen are bigots, have you not noticed that yet?

          The ones you want to impress certainly are.

            You have 50mil eligible voters who haven’t even registered. You have another 40 million registered voters that didn’t bother to show.

            I agree with you that AOC is the best bet America has for a better future. But the important thing is not getting the best outcome, the important thing is actually beating the Nazis.

            Are you willing to bet the future of the free world that you are right? I simply don’t have enough faith in the American people. You keep disappointing.

              Yes, voter apathy is a problem. Running uninspiring candidates isn’t going to fix apathy; it will make apathy much worse.

              I agree with you that AOC is the best bet America has for a better future. But the important thing is not getting the best outcome, the important thing is actually beating the Nazis.

              Ain’t seein’ much evidence of anyone else actually willing to oppose nazis in any way.

              Are you willing to bet the future of the free world that you are right?

              The last 3 elections have been against trump. We ran dull “not trump, I guess” candidates in all three. Biden only barely squeaked in and then spent four years demonstrating that democrats don’t keep their promises to anyone not named netanyahu.

              If you have a more charismatic candidate than AOC, a white (conservative, naturally, since that’s all this is really about) male, name him.

                Tim Walz is literally doing Town Hall meeting in Republican cities where they have stopped doing official town hall meetings.

                  And god bless him for it. If Tim Walz can win in 2028, great.

                  That’s no reason to hold back all women in order to hold back AOC. We have primaries for a reason (when we have primaries.) If AOC can overcome democrats’ shady bullshit meant to keep progressives out, she absolutely can win. Anyone who would never vote for AOC wasn’t going to vote for Walz, either. Unless you’re saying that centrist democrats would rather vote for fascism or stay home than vote for a progressive, for all their talk of “no matter who.”

                    A lot of people hate the rich people who control them, but also hate women and minorities 🤷‍♂️

                    So whats important here, do you want their votes and be able to kick the PayPal Mafia out of the oval office, or do you care more about signalling to America that women can do it too?

                    Its time to choose your enemies.
