    I love AOC, but she will lose.

    The American people have shown that they would rather have a convicted felon, rapist, fascist pedophile than a highly qualified woman.

    It’s stupid, but it’s reality.

    A woman candidate is a non starter.

      Unlike Kamala and Clinton she actually believes in something, and not just the Dems’ very rich corporate donors.

      look at Zohran Mamdani in New York. He’s a Muslim, foreign born, socialist. Plenty of things that by the same logic would make him loose. But he won the primary and odds are he’ll Winn the mayor position.

          The issue is we’ve never actually tried to run a populist left candidate. So everyone saying, “it’ll never work!” have no real bases for that statement. (the closest we’ve ever been was Sanders, and the DNC ensured that he was not going to be on the ballot.)

          A TRUE LEFT POPULIST WILL WIN! in my opinion

            (the closest we’ve ever been was Sanders, and the DNC ensured that he was not going to be on the ballot.)

            Ah, yes, when the DNC forged millions of votes to make Sanders lose. Twice.

            Fuck’s sake. Show up for the primaries next time, goddamn you.
