I'm all for a women president eventually, but perhaps the elections during an attempted fascist take over isn't the time.
Some men will simply not vote for a woman, it's sad, but it's reality. If a woman is on the ballot the democrats will lose again.
The time will come, just not yet with stakes this high. I would love to see AOC as the first female president.
I fear you are right. And with numbers like this, the Democrats have an uphill battle anyway, with all the rigging and ratfucking that the Republicans do, not to mention the EC system itself.
someone should take one for the team and form an alternative socialist government of the united states as a micronation. seriously!
Some men will simply not vote for a woman, it’s sad, but it’s reality.
Can we all agree that those men are trash? I don't care what else they've got going on, if they refuse to vote for a woman because she's a woman, they deserve to go into the dumpster.
I'm so sick of all these sacks of shit making the world worse
I greatly fear that if AOC were to run, the terminally online left would pull the rug out from under her.
Any time she's ever done any action that went not 100% in favor of the delusional mindset of idiots who think single politicians can usher in perfect communism, the TOL screamed bloody murder and withdrew all support and hype.
The same would happen in Nov 2028
AOC didn't support Gaza and is not communist enough!!! I will protest vote Jill Stein or not vote at all.
Mamdani had not even started his term and has already being cancel by the TOL.
I'm not sure the terminally online left you mention make up a significant enough portion of any electorate to impact the race in this way.
People didn't want Kamala because she wasn't democratically elected as the leader of the party in a primary so they let full blown fascism take over instead. They felt it was more important to send the Democrats a message instead of actually keeping some minimal form of democracy and freedom. 🙄
So they'll probably not vote for AOC if she becomes leader of the Democratic party anyway because of some minor excuse, like how she supported Israel's right to exist, or something. And the US will end up with a third Trump mandate.
I hope the US will prove me wrong. My hope in Americans doing the right thing is pretty low.
The election isn't won by getting the most total votes which means getting more than 50%+1 of liberal states isn't worth anything and losing 1% of swing states loses you the whole thing.
Anyone who is statistically tied with couch fucker is not a great bet
This is off topic but God does she have a pretty smile.
The faces of democratic socialism: AOC, Kat Abughazaleh, Zohran Mamdani
The face of the GOP: [ insert bloated face Vance meme here ]
We also got Katie Wilson. Sure she isn't classically gorgeous like those three, but damn does that woman represent Seattle.
You think you'll have elections again? Lmao
A hell of a lot needs to happen before AOC has a snowballs chance in hell in 2028. Like, Trumps impeachment — to start.
51?
This is what's wrong with people.
Even if trump had lost the election I was gonna be horrified if he had even gotten 30% of the votes. But this... Again. It doesn't matter if AOC wins if half the country is basically saying, after all this, they want more.
These numbers mean absolutely fucking nothing. They could have surveyed people if they thought a rotten apple or pile of shit had a chance to win the white house and it would have been 49% to 51%
As we’ve seen in every election from 2016 on, election polling is useless now.
