      The US is simply too misogynistic to elect a woman as president, especially a woman of color.

      The unfortunate reality is that our best bet for the White House is a progressive white man with AOC as VP.

      I believe that even AOC knows this.

        You can’t say that because there is no reliable data to go off of. Kamala and Clinton were terrible candidates.

        I don’t think that’s true tbh. The Dems have never managed to nominate a popular woman as their presidential candidate before. Clinton was almost universally disliked by the public (for lots of good reasons other than her gender), and ex-prosecutor Harris’s campaign was hamstrung by Biden, as well as being seen as an other pro-corporate Democrat stooge. AOC might actually have a fighting chance compared to her predecessors. But she’ll never be able to be the Democratic candidate until the old guard of leadership is replaced, let’s face facts.
