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

    2. 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.

      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.

      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.

      I am skeptical about your assertion about needing a dude. So how about a compromise? Both AOC and Bernie primary for president, putting the other on the ticket as their VP. If one of them is defeated, they hand over their voters to their counterpart. The best candidate wins, and we get a fully progressive ticket.

      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.

      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.

      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

      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.
