Hy heart says hell yeah! My gut tells me that there are large swaths of the electorate who simply will not vote for a woman.
I’d much rather see her as Speaker of the House to be honest.
Jesus fucking Christ, Trump isn’t even president yet and we’re already trying to talk about 2028?
Her staffers were complete dicks when I interned on Capitol Hill lol. Lots of self aggrandizing and patting themselves on the back. It’s a shame cause I did like her policies for the most part.
AOC is great and all but the lesson Dems will take from 2016 and 2028 is that the country isn’t ready for a female president for at least another generation or two. Expect them to run safe white guys like Gavin Newsom for a couple more cycles.
No. No. Please, no. I love her. I think she is amazing. But I’m also realistic, and right now, as much as this pains me to say it, the majority of voters in this country won’t vote for her for a wide array of reasons:
1. Woman
2. Not white
3. Outspoken
4. Woman
We are, as a whole, not an enlightened country. We think we are, but we are not.
What we need is a young, smart, charismatic white man (my matriarchal roots are screaming in pain as I write this) to get us back on track. We need someone both sides can rally behind and move us forward. We aren’t ready for a woman in office…at least not all of us.
I’m sorry, it kills me to say this, but no. Right now, she would be so much better (and safer) as speaker of the house. We are going to need a shit ton of cleanup after what’s coming tomorrow, and we need to be realistic about how we do it.
Otherwise, it will just be rinse and repeat with a different version of you know who.
No it doesn’t. Look, I think it’s well past time we should have a woman as president, but both Clinton and Harris suffered from significant headwinds because of their sex.
In 2028 there is a guarantee the right is going to call into question the results of the election and they are going to do everything they can to subvert it. Dems need to win by massive margins, and the last two women to run for the position lost in historically terrible fashion.
It’s unfair and stupid, but the American electorate will not elect a woman to the highest office in the land quite yet, and there’s too much riding on 2028 to take any chances.
33% approval rating. Nope.
All these comments chalking the 2024 election up to the gender of the candidate are the reason we likely stand to lose again.
AOC couldn’t win in America even if the Republicans weren’t ending legitimate elections lol
You have to be joking. This country as it currently is configured will not vote in a woman of color to potus.
The democrats need to spend the next four years building up some really strong candidates and making them well known to the electorate.
We need someone who actually brings revolutionary and ambitious ideas to this country like free healthcare, free public college tuition, a federal jobs guarantee, universal childcare, etc. These are winning policies that are VERY popular amongst voters. Alexandria is an incredible communicator and knows how to connect with people on a personal level and advocates for these policies that Dems need to start pushing for. She’d be an incredible candidate regardless of how some people might underestimate her.
There’s probably not even going to be an election in 2028.
To those saying that America “isn’t ready for a woman” STOP. THIS. NONSENSE.
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016.
AOC is conventionally attractive (respectfully), has awesome charisma and better yet not part of the trash generation that got us into all the messes we’re in now. She would have massive pull with minorities and the younger generation of voters.
I would bubble in her name on my ballot so hard and fast I might set the fucking thing on fire.
Do you want a President Vance? Because this is how you get a President Vance.
like, are we not gonna learn from two losses now? guess they want vance to win 2028
So we are just skipping the midterms?
I don’t see her winning. She’s got too many soundbytes and so on that the GOP can use to demonize her in the eyes of the more conservative independent voters.
I like her, and she’d probably have to be a VP pick first to normalize her being in the running for the big seat.
I think she’d be a far more effective senator.
Even if AOC doesn’t become the DNC nominee I feel like her running would expose more Americans to a lot of ideas that should be normalized.
She can start by apologizing to Penny.
Ehhh I don’t think she has it in her. Playing sycophant for Biden damaged her standing among leftists, and moderates aren’t going to vote for her because she’s a leftist. This is why you dont pivot to the center- neither the left nor the right will budge an inch.
You clearly have not learned your lessons.
The DNC has done nothing to show they would support her. They will go for Pete in the next election or another more moderate dem, IMO
Seriously? have we learned nothing?
did Democrats learn nothing from the past 3 elections lmao
Unless Trump and the GOP make an enemy out of *everybody* (i.e., including their own), AOC probably stands no chance in the primary, let alone the presidential general election.
AOC knows how to talk to voters, and fights for the sort of populist legislation a wide-swath of the electorate can get behind.
Remember the Trump-AOC voters? The Bernie-Trump voters?
You’d be a gool to count her out
The DNC will never make her the primary for the Dems just like Bernie. They don’t want anyone as president that actually will make changes they claim to support. Sad but true.
I wish, but the democrats have put so much energy into suppressing her
I mean they passed her up for a comittee seat she was absolutely qualified for, to give it to a fucking geriatric dying of throat cancer. Because it was “his turn”
I didnt realised that the Democrat party was partly operated by the fucking make-a-wish campaign
She is very likeable. Probably was an excellent bartender and generates some good tweets, but why would anyone think she’s qualified to be President? The quality of people running for public office in the US is pathetic.
