    I think we need to wait and see how things shake out. If she can demonstrate broad based support then why not run her.

    If it’s only lefties who love her, then she’s not the right choice.

      I’d love to agree with you but look how it’s worked out - the two times the orange idiot has been elected he is running against ladies. It seems an insurmountable hill for the general public to be ok with a woman president

        Yeah. There’s a correlation vs causation problem here that I don’t really have the answers to.

        In other words I think that’s reductive.

        Hillary was Hillary and didn’t take Trump seriously.

        Kamala was run without much planning and forethought.

        AOC might be a woman, and I take your point that may not be in her favor, but she has many virtues that may outweigh that disadvantage.

        Was it because they were woman or because they were just the same old Democrats people were tired of? You know, the left candidates that are actually right leaning, the establishment. Trying to appeal to the other side while forgetting their own base like a parent giving all of its attention to the one child who constantly does mischief while the others feel left out.

          “Gosh im so tired of these same ol’ democrats. Better just let the guy who wants to ban all muslims and bankrupted multiple casinos, and cheats on all his wives (and sometimes beats them with epstein) take power. Easy choice!”
