1. love AOC. But i loved Kamala and Hillary.

How did that turn out in the mainstream?

2. No, AOC would never win the EC.

She still has the same problem as Kamala and Hillary. She's a woman. Women don't even vote for other women. They vote like their husbands. That's why it's too early for that. To be president, you have to pass the Commander in Chief test. Too much racism and misogyny in this country. In 2028 we cannot be risky.

3. Not 2028, but someday maybe. After she's a senator (replacing Schumer?) for a while. nt

4. One specific demographic of women...

2016


2024

7. I do think a woman could win eventually, but it'd have to be a former Armed Forces member probably

That would be the type of woman that could pass the Commander in Chief test. Voting for president is different than voting for a Congressional member or governor. People really do visualize that person sitting behind the Oval Office giving military orders like JFK did during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I think a woman from the armed forces, someone in leadership, would be that type that could win.

Hillary was viewed as a tough woman, that's why she came so damn close to pulling it off. In 2028 though, we don't have the luxury to experiment. We need a WINNER. We are so close to losing whatever is left of this country.

5. Makes sense!

6. If you wanna keep losing elections.

Go for it.

8. We will never have a woman as president

our country hates women too much for that to happen.

I say this as a woman who was hopeful both times our candidate was a woman.

Turns out, misogyny and racism are the two biggest "American Values".

I've lost hope for our country. Well, is it even "ours" anymore or does it belong entirely to the ultra wealthy?

Give me a few days and I'll probably find some hope again, but this is where I am now.
