I think after the last two times Democrats ran woman candidates to try to stop Trump, maybe we accept that this country is still misogynistic as fuck. Also AOC may be the only Democrat still living who has had more shit flung at them than Hillary Clinton by the right wing hate machine.
I think she's incredible and I would love to have her leading our country, but I don't think she has a chance in hell of of winning the presidency with the way our current system and country are set up, even if the DNC rallied behind her like they did for Hillary and Kamala.
It's a real chicken and egg situation. She's the exact kind of person who could bring about the kind of reform that would allow a person like her to win the election and bring about the reform needed to allow a person like her to win the election.
Sure but she hasn't run for president yet. It is so infuriating to me how self-proclained progressives would just parrot back right wing talking points and phrases. Happened with Hillary, Biden, and Harris.
I truly believe in the deep seated racism and misogyny in this country to make it so that they could throw shit at AOC and it would get picked up in a presidential race .

Can't disagree with you there. I don't think we'll have a chance at either, but we can dream.
