Please god give us AOC in 2028. Shes the FDR 2 we need when this is all over.
Why does the Democratic party have a hard on for running failed politicians? Kamala lost, let others step up. AOC would do great in the Dem Primaries
AOC would receive my vote.
She’s an amazing candidate. I’d vote for her. I dunno about the rest of the country tho. They seem to really appreciate white men when it comes time to vote. All other issues be damned.
Fake news right? To call this SHOCK gotta be better not the same.
A poll looking 3 years ahead is about as accurate as an astrological chart (and just to be clear, those are worthless).
Anyone here who seriously thinks Democrats will win without playing dirty and purging Republican votes in the millions? Please CMV.
Is this wise? As an outside observer I had the impression that Harris lost in part because of systematic, subtle and overt racism and sexism. All this applies to AOC, too. Do the Democrats want to lose? Don’t they have some sort of JFK look-alike, people actually want to vote? It’s not as if appearance wasn’t way more important in the US than things like the actual political agenda.
I would have voted if she was running last November.
honest question: I am out of the loop. Why the sudden hate against kamala harris? I come from a country without a two party system, so we criticize everybody all the time.
In the loop here- it’s not sudden. She has always been disliked and reviled for her tenure as a DA, and she was only tolerated during her presidential bid because she was not Trump. If we had platformed almost anyone else, we probably would have won November.

I come from a country with a two party system and I criticize everyone all the time for allowing the two party system to exist.
Is there even going to be another election?
If about 3.5% of people organize and stand up, then probably, yeah. Not without them, though. That’s about what it takes for social change.
I’d vote for AOC over Kamala, 100%.
I mean, I still voted for Kamala, but I wasn’t excited about it.
Defeatists ignoring the number of people attending her rallies recently.
Welcome to American politics, when the 2028 election begins in 2024 and the 2028 primary began in 2020.
I’m so tired.

Stop with this shit. It’s 2025. This is stupid.

Women can’t be president in America. We have a shitty culture that prevents that from happening. We keep trying, we keep failing. If you want to win, find another candidate with a dick. That’s a requirement in America. Not saying I like it. Just saying that’s reality.
Women can’t be president in America.
A Catholic can’t be president in America. Until one was.
A Black man can’t be president in America. Until one was.
Not saying I like it. Just saying that’s reality.
No, just precedent. Nothing you say is like the laws of physics, more a rule of thumb.
Two failed bids is not even close to statistically significant when you consider the huge number of other factors at play in an election.

Tried twice with two exceptionally shitty candidates. Blaming Hillary and Harris’s losses on their sex is a massive cop-out. Trump should have been destroyed in every election he ran in, but the only time he lost was with the weight of a worldwide pandemic working against him, and then, he wasn’t exactly blown out of the water.
A woman can definitely be president in America. But as long as people like you blame the losses on that, the actual reasons these candidates are losing will never be fixed.
It’s time to take some accountability.
Harris was less than 2% behind, and Clinton was ahead in the popular vote. I don’t think gender was not a factor, but I also don’t think it was a major one.
It’s possible, but Trump would have to fuck up really bad over and over and over again right before election day and have dementia so bad he couldn’t even say his name anymore and the race between a woman and Trump’s 3rd term would still be close
I’d like to think it’s close because the republicans purged the rolls of most democrats, but it’s probably just the misogyny
We should just have two women run for president and force the issue!
And tragically, that’s how America elected a third party candidate.
If that was the case Hilary would have not won the popular vote
Bernie would have won the presidency.
Voting for Hillary was voting because I felt like I had to. Voting for Bernie felt like voting because I WANTED to. I’m sure many Americans felt the same way.
Actually this is a good chance to prove things. Most would rather vote for a woman than Trump right now. This could be a perfect moment for a woman to get in power and kick some ass.
“People need to vote Democrat to keep the country from further imploding, so we’re gonna make the candidate a woman. That way they’ll HAVE to vote for a woman and we can check that off our list!”
this is a losing strategy, you’re even considering doing it with the same loser from 2024. We lost both 2016 and 2024 by doing this exact same thing. What are you going to tell me next, that the candidate should be Jill Stein?
At least AOC is an actual good candidate, but again: woman. You’ll lose.
As much as I want AOC, she won’t win not because she’s a woman, but because she’s relatively young. We are all tired of these old, greedy, out of touch fuckers doing shit they wont have to live through the consequences of, but they get away with that shit for a reason. They aren’t old. They have experience. AOC would be presented as inexperienced.
Which is ironic given how inexperienced the current failure is having been in the white house fucking twice.
Nah, women can. The Democrats just keep picking bad candidates. That’s all.
AOC is great, but probably still a bad candidate.
I would go with Taylor Swift. It’s about charisma and following, and at least some proven progressive credentials. She fits the counter-counter culture narrative perfectly.
Are you saying want taylor swift as president?
Yeah. Not because she’s qualified for the job, but because I think she could win it for the left. That is all.
We already picked a game show host… is this actually worse? 🤷♂️ at least she’s a billionaire that pretends to care about people
I think there is some reason to believe she actually gives a shit.
Nobody becomes a billionaire without exploiting many, many, many people.
But yeah, she might also believe that she’s a good person
I agree with you, but her “exploitation” is basically using the tools capitalism handed her. The worst that could be said for her is that she might be aware of her privilege and not doing anything to give that up. But here’s the thing - what rational actor within capitalism who amasses any power would just give it all up? Benevolent intentions only get you so far, and principle rarely gets anyone anywhere in this world.
Edit: Unless it’s all bullshit, she’s probably done more good with her wealth than any other billionaire I know. Which might not be saying much, but says a lot for her candidacy as “not a complete piece of shit”. Something few ultra wealthy can claim.
We know poor people can’t get elected as well.
Not only that, the establishment Democrat will win the primary due to the progressive vote being split over infighting among 50 different primary candidates. That’s how we ended up with Biden.
trumps not surviving another 3.5 years in office, let’s be real
Hillary needs to run in 2028. It is Hillary her turn. Again. This has nothing to do with them being horrible candidates. Only misogyny is responsible.
