politics

I would like to say: clinton didn't lose because she's a woman, she lost because she's a sleazeball. harris didn't lose because she's a woman, she lost because she was courting the right wing for some reason. AOC can win because she's not a sleazy right winging neolib. I'd vote for her for president.

Support for what ever she decides is next, although I feel like the senate would be a better step. However the democrats dont really have a face to back that isnt some centerist that thinks its ok to play with the bully after they have taken your lunch money or someone that is older than Wonder Bread (tm).

A female president of a normal age would be an amazing change for the US. Why does it always have to be geriatric males?

One of the few sitting Dems I'd vote for.

I don't know if AOC is the right pick but I do know she's closer to the target than Gavin Newsom. Nothing against him, but the Democratic party needs a candidate that can inspire people.

But that's getting ahead of things. First the american people need to primary ~50% of sitting democrats in the midterms.

I appreciate Bernie for being an adult and helping to boost up the people that will be here after him.

Most every other politician, when they aren't cramming their unqualified, entitled broodspawn where they don't belong, is gnawing off limbs trying to make sure they're entombed with their positions like the pharaohs.

I'm a big fan of AOC, but I think I'd rather her wait until 2032. The next presidency (if there even is one) is going to be a fucking shitshow trying to clean up Trump's messes. I'd rather her get the opportunity to be a "get shit done" President, instead of having to spend all her time rooting out Trump's traitors in the government while getting villainized in the media.

I'm not sure she has the thunder she had in 2018. BUT If she calls for a general strike in the next 6 weeks, and then starts to be the lead organizer of said strike, she's my gal. I really hope she learns from Bernie in specifically how he's organized his national campaigns.

Look at this point you could literally run George Washington himself as a Democrat and MAGA wouldn't vote for him.

Also, compared to the current guy, a rancid portion of tuberculotic lung coughed up in a pool of fetid blood on the floor of some 18th century eastern European sanitarium is a "very good politician".

And the status quo liberals will coalesce like Voltron to stop her just like they did with Bernie.

I saw this coming a mile away and I hope she does win the Presidential Election to break barriers and to end the nonsense going on currently.

Problem is the conservatives will argue/debate no woman should be in power followed by countless historical references to prove their point. Then someone will show even more historical references of conservatives causing twice to three times the issues. This will turn into one giant circle jerk of why they (conservative) won't listen to a woman when they don't even listen to their own parents.

Love the optimism that there will be elections in the US in the foreseeable future!

Lol the DNC has chosen Newsom as the new golden boy.

The DNC would run the corpse of Hillary Clinton again before letting a progressive have power.

I would love for AOC to actually be allowed to be voted on, because she would probably win the popular vote like progressives almost always do.

Give me the most balls left big balls fucking make my day powerful bitch we got. We have SO MUCH bullshit to undo and redo.

If it's AOC, she better do it right.

Non an american but I feel like US needs a revolutionary candidate to come back from Trump. It has to be someone strong enough to put nazis back into their place.

It's still early to talk about this though right? From what I understand the upcoming midterms will shape everything else.

As inappropriate and watered down as it sounds, I honestly don't think this country is going to vote in a female president this decade. Race plays a part too, but I honestly think that this country is more sexist than it is racist when it comes to presidential voting. It's partially a gut feelings, but I think gender played a bigger role than many people think in the 2016 and 2024 elections. As messed up as it sounds, I think Bernie POTUS with AOC VP would stand a better chance of winning right now as opposed to the other way around. Even with all of the socialist/communist boogie-man bullshit that Bernie gets thrown at him.

I like AOC and agree with her on a lot. And I really would like to see how she would handle it. But as a straight white guy in his 40's that honestly wants to see things get better for everyone I also dread the tidal wave of dog whistle reasons the GOP will bring out for why she is unfit.

I know that is the point, but the constant avalanche of ignorant talking points that hearken back to "the good ole days" when men were men, women were arm candy, and brown people shared a corner on the floor with the family dog in these peoples minds that they disguise as honest engagement with a legitimate issue in the country is starting to burn me out.

I mean how many times do we have to learn the hard way that America won't elect a woman to be president?

Look at this country.

It's a shitshow.

It didn't elect a woman when the other option was a felon, rapist, insurrectionist manchild with one failed presidency and two impeachments already under his belt.

Do we really want to do this again when the stakes are so unbelievably high?

Goddamn. People need to get their heads screwed on straight. She isn't just a woman, she's also profoundly hated by a lot of Americans for being so progressive. Why the fuck would we do this to ourselves? I mean America wouldn't even elect Bernie, the male version of her with a lot more experience.

WE NEED TO START LIVING IN REALITY.

I like AOC. I respect her for what she does. But she's not going to be president in 2028.

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 vote yes.

I don't see anyone better for the job.

Certainly not that transphobic piece of shit from California, that's for damn sure.

To get her elected we will have to fight the oligarchs, Israel, the Republicans and the Democrats. But I'm with her. I'd vote for her and Crockett.
