Gonna keep saying it. Don’t care how much I get downvoted.
She’s a woman and America has made it very clear it isn’t ready for a female president, even when they’re up against a felon rapist pedophile with 2 impeachments and a failed presidency under his belt. I’ve voted for women for president twice now. I’ll do it again. Doesn’t mean that changes the reality that is this fucked up nation.
She’s younger than any president, ever. That matters to a lot of people.
Her political resume isn’t that impressive yet. That still matters to Democrat voters.
She’s VERY liberal and that makes centrists, and even some lefties closer to the center, uncomfortable. She’ll lose those voters to 3rd parties or people that just stay home.
At this point I have no expectations for Americans to learn from mistakes. So I assume this will all fall on deaf ears. I’m almost at the point that I simply don’t care anymore.

We’ve had 2 so far who made it to the general election:
Hilary Clinton who was the most establishment neoliberal pick imaginable who happened to run against Trump’s growing cult of personality (and some segment of the Republican party was still seething that a black man was president to add fuel to that fire), and she still won the popular vote while Trump made promises to “drain the swamp” and an implied Medicare for All policie at one point (which naturally never came to pass) while Hilary basically promised to be as conservative as possible to maintain the status quo
And we had Kamala, a criminal prosecutor when George Floyd’s death was still fairly fresh in everyone’s memory, and a white populace that was finally waking up to the reality that black and brown Americans face in every police interaction, and Kamala was promising a continuation of Biden policy which included continuing to supply bombs used on civilians in Gaza which many Americans spent the late pandemic seeing videos of dead and dying children pulled from the rubble of. Oh and this was still while Trump’s cult of personality was in full swing.
Now? Trump’s alienated a large portion of his base, his approval is the lowest of any president ever, he’s forced the Republican party to remake itself into his increasingly tarnished image and he just successfully primaried several prominent career Republicans out of their seats, and the cash strapped Americans who voted for some kind of change after Obama ultimately brought mostly more of the same after promising hope? They’re now measurably worse off from Trump’s policies and waking up to it.
This comment may or may not age like fine milk, but I’ll hazard to say if there’s a time for AOC to run for president, this next election is it
so who would you run? another biden? everyone is criticizing anything that any liberal does like it’s a bad idea by default, with complete lack of any useful advice or suggestions. are you too young to remember the rhetoric trump got before 2016? because they said nearly exactly the same bullet points you just rattled off about him, bud. he was gunna be a flop, not a serious candidate, voters want someone blah blah blah. THEN HE WON AND EVERYONE SCRAMBLED TO BACK PEDDLE THEIR POSITIONS CUZ HINDSIGHT IS 20/20. And you know what you and other people trying to keep GREAT humans down with GREAT ideas don’t have? any actual foresight. you’re just wet blankets who think they’re smart. so take my downvote and suggestion to stfu.

I’m too old actually, and the elections blend together. Help me out ‘Captain Poofter’: 2016 was the election of Hillary’s shenanigans shafting Bernies campaign and a primary the DNC directly meddled in, right?, where Wasserman-schulz was fired from the DNC and hired to Hillary’s campaign the same day after she cheated for Hillary? then the DNC won a supreme court case arguing that the primary was internal and need not be fair. They can do whatever dirty tricks or fixes they wanted and had no duty to democracy at all – they could even lie about the results if they wanted, and pick someone themselves even after the vote didnt go the way they wanted, literally with smoking cigars in a back room.
That election right? With so much DNC bedshitting and zionist fellating every single cycle, I get the years confused.
I think you’re right about not learning from mistakes. Only took 4 years to forget about Trump being one of the worst people on the planet. You’ll probably see 4 or 8 years of Democrats then right back to Republicans.

Beating you into apathy is exactly what they want.
