    I’m really sorry to say that AOC stands a snowball’s chance in hell. Look around and ask yourself whether this country would ever, ever, EVER elect a woman. It’s really that simple. It’d be great if we lived in a more progressive country, but we’re going to have to be crafty clever to get what we want. Nominating a woman for the highest office of our land is a choice we can keep making, but we’ll keep losing and the GOP will continue to erode the country.

      Kamala and Hillary combined had zero charisma, ran policy Dem voters hated…

      And still almost won.

      So yeah, a charismatic woman with popular policy would win.

        You can put whichever woman you want there on the top of the ticket — they will lose every time in the current landscape of the US. We need a different strategy for now.

          Source: Trust me bro. I’m super sexist and also friends with super sexist people and I can tell you that my super sexist bro’s yearn for tax cuts for entrepreneurs who run a business for 3 years in a disadvantaged neighborhood. Trust me bro.

            What are your thoughts? Do you think there’s a liberal female candidate that could beat the GOP challenger in 2028?

              AoC. Literally any “female” with good policy since much like Clinton and Harris, their gender was the least important part of their loss.
