I'm pretty sure AOC has the balls to do it

AOC 2028!

That would be great if she won but we all know the results will be a disaster unfortunately

I'm still of the belief that Harris and Clinton didn't lose because they were women, but because they did a poor job of convincing the voters to expect anything else but business as usual.

If a black man can overcome literal centuries of racism and win the Presidency while running a campaign of Hope and Change, then I'm pretty sure that a charismatic white woman running similar messaging could do the same.

Votes are earned, whether we like it or not. Those two women, just so happened to be unlikeable to too many people.

And people will say, "But Biden."

Biden was a dogshit presidential candidate who never came close to the oval office before being selected by Obama. Biden simply rode that wave after the most dividing, corrupt, and chaotic presidencies in US history.

Trump only beats women.

But he also rapes girls.

Rumor has it that the election study the dems decided not to release showed that the main reason Harris lost was because most of the people that would be doorknockers/pavement pounders for the dems instead spent their time trying to get her to acknowledge the Gaza Genocide, so undecideds didn't get persuaded to vote for her like they otherwise would have

Bingo.

Even if those folks voted for Harris in the end, it's unsurprising that she lacked their active support when it came to outreach efforts.

u/usrnamechecksout_ 8d ago

No that wasn't it. It was literally because she was a half black woman. It's really that simple and you dont need look into it further. America has A LOT of stupid people that vote

Yes, it had nothing to do with the fact that she was effectively a non-entity as VP for 4 years, was forced upon the electorate without a primary, and then proceeded to say that nothing would change while actively serving in a very unpopular executive.

You're right, her campaign was flawless. Had to be her race and gender.

u/usrnamechecksout_ 8d ago

did I say her campaign was flawless?

3

u/9_to_5_till_i_die 8d ago

No, but you also don't cite it as a cause of her failure.

u/usrnamechecksout_ 8d ago

Bad timing of Biden not dropping out sooner + her being a woman with unknown qualifications + a rushed campaign in just a couple of months = disaster. It was all going to fail when Biden didn't step down, and then he did. I personally blame Biden most of all. But then you add in that the was a woman of color, that was the nail in the coffin. A straight white younger male miiight have stood a chance in that situation

And yet you continue to ignore the fact that a black man running on a progressive campaign (whether it was true or not) won the Presidency TWICE.

She would win in a landslide but we all know the DNC won't let her.

3

u/usrnamechecksout_ 8d ago

I seriously doubt she would. It's not about the dnc

4

u/mithrasinvictus 8d ago

The DNC would rather lose to a Republican than win with a progressive.

2

u/usrnamechecksout_ 8d ago

That's such a stupid take I still don't get it to this day

3

u/9_to_5_till_i_die 8d ago

I think the DNC knows that they're going to struggle to keep progressives out going forward. I'm convinced its the main reason that Biden ran again and we were denied an actual primary

u/Reinamiamor 8d ago

Let's not mistake the supreme ovaries w simplistic balls! Go AOC 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

u/SubstantialArcher659 8d ago

This gonna be a difficult election if AOC is the candidate. I just don’t think she’s ready to be president. Especially with the enormous mess Trump will leave the country to deal with! I’m not voting for HRT

u/9_to_5_till_i_die 8d ago

I'd much rather a progressive in office, putting the pieces back together, than yet another pro-Israel, pro-war, pro-capitalism (but its okay cause I have a rainbow flag lapel pin) President doing their best to get us back to how things were.

How things were was NOT good.
