As much as I really really like AOC, I wonder if the rest of America isn’t ready to elect a woman. We’ve had two female candidates and both times we got Trump. Granted the first time was Hillary and I held my nose to vote for her (now I’d vote for a fresh dog turd before I’d vote Trump, but something about the whole Hillary thing just rubbed me the wrong way, especially with what happened to Bernie), and the second time they really screwed up at the last minute with Joe. I guess I’m just skittish at this point.
I really hope I’m wrong, because AOC is just a hair behind Bernie in my opinion and I love Bernie. I think she’d be a really intelligent take no shit leader and I am so desperate for that right now.
Both candidates ran as conservatives that attacked the left side of the Democratic party more than they did Trump’s policies. It’s not because they were women, it’s the policies they stood for.
I personally believe that a woman could make a great president. I also believe that America is much more sexist and racist than many of us would like to admit.

I absolutely think that’s a large part of it.
