I will vote for AOC with pride. But I’m leery about running another woman right now. Neither Hillary nor Kamala could win against Trump.
That said, I can’t think of anyone I’d be happier to vote for. I dream of her being President. I don’t know if swing states will have it, but I would fight to make it so.
Hillary and Kamala were awful candidates - they wouldn’t have won if they were men or if it were the first coming of Christ. (I’m skeptical he ever arrived at all). The DNC is the blame for their failure. Hillary was out of touch. Kamala had too many issues to list.
All that aside, they would have presidented circles around Trump.
I’m a huge AOC supporter, but she should wait a 2 or 3 cycles (if there are any cycles anymore). I’d rather see her take Schumer’s senate seat, and serve there for a term or two first, and succeed Bernie as the Senate’s progressive leader.
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. There’s no statistical difference in the chances of victory between men and women when running for political office. Lots of Republican politicians are women. I don’t see it as a big deal.
Also, lots of open racists voted for Obama. If you look at the polling and the interviews, it was much more about running conservative Democrats trying to get the votes of people who wanted to shake things up. That’s what Obama promised, that’s why Sanders would’ve won, by some measures, and it seems AOC is out there generating the same buzz.

It’s only a deal because the democratic party is willing to hold back all women just to prevent the success of one progressive woman.
Only a shock to folks who still think Democrat centerists are what’s gonna win the votes
AOC is a progressive. Harris was too, prior to her role as VP.
She ran on exactly the same thing as Biden and backtracked on everything progressive she said in previous campaigns.
She ran with Progressive planks, but she was a DA. She’s a cop. Cops aren’t progressive.
Attorneys aren’t cops. Can we stop with the right wing smear campaign?
And as we all know…
Repeat after me kids
All Cops Are Bastards
Yea harris is far from a progressive. She kept people in jail for bullshit marijuana charges.
Cops are not progressive, they protect the interests of the state, not it’s people
“We want to maintain the status quo that led to the election of Trump twice!”
Exactly! It’s just… why?

Maybe because Hillary and Kamala were terrible candidates? Are you kidding me?

A Democratic centrist literally polled at #1. It’s in the headline.
I read it as “it’s a shock that she came in second” lol
Needs a little Asterisk* next to centrist and a footnote
*still way further left than any Republican
