    So whats important here, do you want their votes and be able to kick the PayPal Mafia out of the oval office, or do you care more about signalling to America that women can do it too?

    That’s a false choice, as well as a misrepresentation of everything I’ve said.

    If women are as incapable of winning as centrists suddenly and conveniently believe they are the instant someone brings up AOC, then you have nothing to worry about. If she can’t win the general, she definitely won’t be able to get through the primaries. democratic party leadership can’t fuck with the general election like they can with primaries.

    Its time to choose your enemies.

    Mine are to my right. Are yours?

      They are. I just don’t trust the American people even a little, to make the best choice. So i think running the best candidate (which we agree that AOC is) will most likely be yet another political suicide for the democrats.

      America really needs a left wing party, instead of a left wing faction in the least right-wing party. But the system is built so any vote for third party is just wasted, and basically amounts to a vote for the fascists 🤷‍♂️

      This is why i say AOC should focus on becoming minority leader in the Senate. They need to kick out the right wingers from the democratic party first, and its by then that president becomes much more likely.

          Please don’t. Dude, my Prime Minister is a woman, i don’t really care what you think. But your people have proven again and again to be bigots, so please don’t continue to be so focused on inclusion for everyone that you neglect the part where you dont fucking lose your government to the Nazis, like wtf?

          Or are you saying it is impossible to find a leftists old white man? Because your Presidents have to be old white men, please realize that.

            By not wanting to vote for centrists.

            Or are you saying it is impossible to find a leftists old white man?

            I’m saying it’s impossible to find a progressive without a convenient excuse popping up for why they can’t run.
