Look .... not that I have anything against women running for president .... but .... if we haven't learned twice from the shitty decision making of the voter population, 2028 is not the year to test if the US can get its first woman as president AGAIN. I'm going to chalk this up as democrats just can't stand to win and the media needs to stop encouraging that line of thinking. We'll be lucky if there even is a 2028 election. Also, did everyone forget AOC is not in the good graces of kingmaker Pelosi?

She should definitely run, but Democrat will certainly find a way to fuck it up, just like they did with Bernie.

She wouldn't win. The U.S. has shown the world twice that it would rather elect a convicted felon dictator over a women. The U.S. is fucked.

Depends if the corporate shilling is in order?

No.

I like AOC and I think she has demonstrated that, of the entire "Squad", she actually knows how to be a politician and when to fight and when to bite her tongue.

She has zero chance of winning. First, this country has demonstrated that it will NEVER elect a woman. But second, she is still too young and the DNC will never give her that "Obama Moment" where she can win over the entire country in one speech. And third... republicans hate her so much that she would get shot at every single week AND would actually care about the people who took bullets for her.

Nah. I want AOC to stay in Congress. Not sure if she is more valuable as a Senator at this point, but she is increasingly showing she is well suited to being the politician who rallies and guides the other politicians. A Pelosi but not 90 years old and constantly pushing centrist viewpoints.

I would love AOC as president. Unfortunately, she's a woman and she's a minority, and this country is just too racist and sexist - and stupid! - to elect her.

All those things but mostly stupid
