It’s sad but a ton of people won’t vote for her just because she’s a woman, and not white. It’s a sad mark of America but that’s just what it is.

People say that because Hillary and Kamala had zero charisma and policy to the right of the dem voter base, and performed as such.

AOC might be a little further left than some Dem voters, but she's still closer to them than whoever runs under an R will be.

But before Obama won everyone said you had to be full white and just half white, and he absolutely stomped 08 because of charisma and a policy platform a little to the left of the Dem voter base at the time.

It goes beyond that, there's a lot of reasons someone like AOC could easily become the next president, the thing is absolutely none of those people have anywhere near the name recognition as AOC.

They'd have a chance, but no one has as good of a chance as her, and that won't change before 2028.
