    The DNC will absolutely shit all over her efforts. They’d rather lose the elections than have a progressive win.

      Democratic voters don’t want to waste their votes on another unelectable female presidential candidate.

        No, the people currently in the Democratic party don’t want to rock the boat and maintain status quo. They have cushy jobs they don’t want to lose to people that actually want to help fix things so they’ll stand in the way in any way they can.

        As much as I’d love her to be president … I agree - this country is not ready for a female president.

          Not with that attitude it isn’t. It also wasn’t ready for a black man to be president, a Catholic man, a disabled man, a gay man, etc.

          Also, in 2016 the majority of Americans did vote for a female president. This indicates perhaps it wasn’t the right candidate rather than the wrong time.

            Time after time we put our heads on the chopping block thinking this Tim it will be different. Do me a favor, save this and let me know how it goes if she somehow gets the nod from the DNC which she won’t. But if she does and once again we lose to a repub you let me know how that went. I’ve heard plenty of women say they don’t want a woman in office. I don’t agree. But this country is not yet enlightened enough to make that happen.

              I get where you are coming from, but I am not sure I agree. It would definitely be something to behold if it happened.

              I do share some of your pessimism about this though. I to think that AOC may be shunned by the DNC neo liberals.
