21. AOC Sure Has What It Takes to Be President, IMO!

Fri Jul 8, 2022, 01:32 PM

Jul 2022

She's phenomenally smart, and an excellent debater and political strategist. I don't think the time is right for her yet, but I do see her launching her bid for the White House when the time is right. By that time, perhaps America will not be such a misogynistic nation, and that the younger generation, which is inherently more democratic and egalitarian, would be in the ascendancy. AOC's ascension to congressional office is one of the most inspiring American success stories of our times. AOC! AOC!

I hope you're correct. maxsolomon Jul 2022 #6

I don't either. Haggard Celine Jul 2022 #7

I don't trust the folks in red states and locales to handle ballots. jaxexpat Jul 2022 #50

As qualified as the VP is, she has low favorability ratings, which GOP would exploit Fiendish Thingy Jul 2022 #8

We will never have a woman as president Bettie Jul 2022 #10

We shall see - it's possible the first woman president could be a Republican Fiendish Thingy Jul 2022 #16

Winning the popular vote and losing the election Bettie Jul 2022 #51

Clinton won the popular vote, so did Gore I am ok with that. delisen Jul 2022 #59

It is also factual that James Comey repeatedly destroyed her campaign. StevieM Jul 2022 #27

So you're saying she lost Doc Sportello Jul 2022 #31

It seems unreasonable to doubt the dramatic effect that Comey had on that race. StevieM Jul 2022 #33

Not really. Novara Jul 2022 #28

Most European-American women did not vote for a woman as president. Marcuse Jul 2022 #40

We are women. Dividing us is to support patriarchy which divides to conquer. delisen Jul 2022 #57

Those men are lost; and it is minority women that are doing the heavy lifting. Marcuse Jul 2022 #64

Convenient for the patriarchalists that "minority" women cannot win elections delisen Jul 2022 #65

Harris (or any Dem) will need more than Clinton's 42% of the European-American female vote to win Marcuse Jul 2022 #70
