AOC vs Erica Kirk.
The brown girl vs all that is white and right beauty pageant queen pick me. I can already call it. She will be the pied piper leading all the women into the Handmaids Tale.
I think that plenty of people who voted for Trump would be fine voting for a woman president as long as she's strongly advocating change
These people just know that things aren't great, they don't know whose fault it was or what policies caused it. So they vote for the person who says they'll change the most.
The largest deciding factor stated by people after voting was the economy. People remembered that there was a lot of inflation under Biden, and didn't want to keep similar policies. Of course, we know that Trump's first term had a pretty large influence on the state of the economy under Biden, and Biden's policies probably didn't hurt the economy. But the average voter is not that informed.
You have to admire his belief that there will actually be a 2028 presidential election.
The thing about AOC is that she can bring in the millennials which far out weigh the normal voting demographic.
Her first executive order should be to nullify all executive orders Donald Trump ever made.
Remove that man from history make everyone forget his name.
You know, kind of what happened with Caligula.
Adorable President with a solid political background and a good head on her shoulders?
YAS QUEEN!!
Yeah she should run
I really hate to say this, but there’s no way a woman will win in 2028 (if an election even happens).
The vast centrist vote will go towards stability and a return to the ‘values’ they think have been lost.
It sucks a lot, but the only viable choice will be a white man. I hate this, but it’s true.
Walz is probably the most politically viable choice. Does that suck? Yeah. But pragmatically, it’s just true.

Bullshit. That the lie youve all told yourselves, but the reality is that you choose a shit candidate that happened to be a woman, in Harris. She was presenting herself as a republican moderate, while she had hollywood running around on her behalf saying the "woke" shit that people are fucking sick to death of.
No, the reason that AOC wont get the nom, or the support, is because shes what the Dems dont want. Someone who wont bend the knee to the party leaders or their rich donors. Just last year she was nailed on for a house committee seat, and Nancy fucking Pelosi from her fucking hospital bed, rallied to make sure she didnt get it. Instead it went to a 75 year old man with fucking cancer. And yes, he died 4 months later, and they STILL wont give her the seat.
AOCs problem, isnt that shes a woman. Its that shes the second coming of Bernie. She would get shit done that most voters actually want. In 2016, being utterly sick of the money and corruption in politics, even Republicans said they would vote for Bernie. YES, OVER TRUMP!!!! And the DNC still fucked him. They will fuck AOC as well, like they already have. Because she would win. She would get votes from all over the political spectrum because she would drag the US into the new millennium, finally getting Americans healthcare that doesnt bankrupt them or deny them service, because it would be free at point of need. The millionaires and billionaires would get taxed properly, and education would be easier to access and afford/be free.
AOC, Bernie and those like them are what America needs to realise the dream that so many Americans have been denied since birth. Her vagina isnt the issue. The fact she would be good for the people is.
The problem isn't their genitals. The problem is their policies.
Especially support for Israel.
The last hope, so to say.
I don't think she has what it takes to come back from where you've gone. The next democratic president will have to match or exceed the current regime change policy and be able to ignore laws and norms and gerrymander to get enough power to do anything. Dems have nobody cutthroat enough to do these things.
I'm going to lose all my karma. But the democrats don't need a pretty face.They need a freaking platform.
she really doesn't have a chance anyway.She's too polarizing. Clinton was same the same way.
We need to beat the republicans, not keep throwing them.Elections. also our identity politics are cringeworthy
I hate that my thoughts on this need to waffle between:
(A) who do I think would be the best president, and
(B) who do I think has the most strategic chance of beating the GOP puppet candidate.
She’s a brilliant person, but the US has repeatedly shown it’s still too misogynistic to elect a woman president.
It might be the case. But look at the candidates we've had that are women. They're fucking awful. Hillary has politics that are probably to the right of Nixon, Jill Stein is clearly a Russian operative, and Kamala is a fucking disingenuous cop. So yeah, this country has a shit electorate, but the candidates have done nothing to show me that we absolutely wouldn't vote for a woman candidate.
