Bernie Sanders floats AOC as potential 2028 presidential contender: ‘Very good politician’
(www.latintimes.com)
I think that plenty of people who voted for Trump would be fine voting for a woman president as long as she's strongly advocating change
These people just know that things aren't great, they don't know whose fault it was or what policies caused it. So they vote for the person who says they'll change the most.
The largest deciding factor stated by people after voting was the economy. People remembered that there was a lot of inflation under Biden, and didn't want to keep similar policies. Of course, we know that Trump's first term had a pretty large influence on the state of the economy under Biden, and Biden's policies probably didn't hurt the economy. But the average voter is not that informed.

The thing about AOC is that she can bring in the millennials which far out weigh the normal voting demographic.
Her first executive order should be to nullify all executive orders Donald Trump ever made.
Remove that man from history make everyone forget his name.
You know, kind of what happened with Caligula.

I really hate to say this, but there’s no way a woman will win in 2028 (if an election even happens).
The vast centrist vote will go towards stability and a return to the ‘values’ they think have been lost.
It sucks a lot, but the only viable choice will be a white man. I hate this, but it’s true.
Walz is probably the most politically viable choice. Does that suck? Yeah. But pragmatically, it’s just true.
The problem isn't their genitals. The problem is their policies.
Especially support for Israel.

The last hope, so to say.
Yeah she should run
I don't think she has what it takes to come back from where you've gone. The next democratic president will have to match or exceed the current regime change policy and be able to ignore laws and norms and gerrymander to get enough power to do anything. Dems have nobody cutthroat enough to do these things.
I'm going to lose all my karma. But the democrats don't need a pretty face.They need a freaking platform.
she really doesn't have a chance anyway.She's too polarizing. Clinton was same the same way.
We need to beat the republicans, not keep throwing them.Elections. also our identity politics are cringeworthy

I hate that my thoughts on this need to waffle between:
(A) who do I think would be the best president, and
(B) who do I think has the most strategic chance of beating the GOP puppet candidate.

She’s a brilliant person, but the US has repeatedly shown it’s still too misogynistic to elect a woman president.
It might be the case. But look at the candidates we've had that are women. They're fucking awful. Hillary has politics that are probably to the right of Nixon, Jill Stein is clearly a Russian operative, and Kamala is a fucking disingenuous cop. So yeah, this country has a shit electorate, but the candidates have done nothing to show me that we absolutely wouldn't vote for a woman candidate.
