      TBH, I’d rather see her replace Schumer, but if she wants to run for President, I’d be glad to support her.

      No. 

      It doesn’t matter how good of a president she would be. It doesn’t matter how good her ideas are. It doesn’t matter that she represents the changing face of the democratic party.

      She is a woman and for that reason many voting blocs that would otherwise be more likely to align with Democrats simply will not vote for her. They will once again lose the Latino vote, they will once again hemorrhage black voters, they will once again hemorrhage economic populists who are also social moderates or incrementalists.

      There is no universe in which America is ready for a woman president.

      let’s see what midterms bring, first.

      if the dems can get 60% majority in both house and senate, then maybe.

      She had the wherewithal to knock Rubio for his Western Heritage speech (…). I, for one, would love a candidate that looks after our surrouding neighbours rather than looking into what we can pillage from them. 

      It seems like being in DC hasn’t disconnected her from the people she fights to represent, either. I wonder if going out and talking to a lot of people has anything to do with it?

      It’d be nice to be represented by someone who has experience with the way our system has functioned– college debt, crushing housing costs, absurd rent. The freehand of the market has been failing people. We went from Payday loans to DoorDash credit. I heard today a blip about a credit scheme for renters. 

      It used to be you could buy software and own it forever. Now, everything is in the cloud, everything is recording you constantly and you pay for all of it while they tap in to your data.

      It’s good to see somebody tapping into class consciousness.

      Just dropping this here. Sick of this click bait we’re years away. I love her btw.

      I’d happily vote for her, but i think that she’s an S tier VP pick for whoever wins the primary. Then 2032/36 for top of the ticket.

    11. SuperGameTheory on

      No way. The right has vilified her to no end. As much as I love her, there’s no winning over new hearts with her on the ticket when we need to win as many as possible.

      You may as well suggest Soros for President.

    12. GreggSalad on

      Guys we’ve seen how this ends twice now. Please stop. I look forward to the day it’s possible but right now winning is all that matters. Hard stop.

      Shouldn’t happen.

      She’s too easy to paint as an extreme progressive and is a woman.

      The Democrats have had a pretty terrible track record running women for president. They just need someone younger, not a fascist, and capable of winning.

      AOC would be better as a congressional leader. Either booting Schumer or as Speaker.

    15. crappydeli on

      I love AOC but America will never vote for a woman, much less a brown woman.

      Remember when Bernie got blown out on Super Tuesday in 2020 and the top post on this sub was ‚Beto’s bandmate endorses Sanders‘?

      Yeah, those are same geniuses that are taking the pulse of the nation with this push for an AOC bid. Truly hilarious.

    19. Responsible_CDN_Duck on

      >You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid

      There are millions of other Americans. Long past time to look for new parties and candidates.

    20. Bossmandude123 on

      I like her but there’s no way she would win. She’ll never get anyone past the “center”

    21. Any_Significance7396 on

      Jesus fucking Christ the US is being torn apart and the democrats insist on continuing to run candidates with no chance of winning

    22. ConspiracyParadox on

      She might not win, but getting her name out there will make a likely shot for 2032 and give her popularity and more influence in the senate.

    23. Flamebrush on

      We’ve done so well with female candidates in recent years – what could go wrong?

    28. dudeitseric on

      She could win the nomination but I don’t think the time is right for her in the general. I think Dems need to play a little more toward the center right now so we don’t end up with 4 years of Vance/Rubio

    29. Rageaholic88 on

      I would follow her to the end of the world and back.

      But we saw in the last 2 elections how many Americans will not vote for a woman, and I don’t think anything has changed there. Let’s say 5-10% of folks would vote for a man over a woman no matter what, that’s already an insurmountable „handicap“.

    33. LDLethalDose50 on

      I’ll definitely support her, but I do not want to see the democrats run a woman again right now. Our stupid country clearly isn’t ready. When two very qualified women have run against a bloviating moron, and lost, that should be all the evidence needed. I hate that it’s this way, but it is. More important than ever they need to just win.

    34. 19Black on

      Have people learned nothing? Look what happened the last time a woman ran. I’d love to see her be the first female president, but let’s be real, a large portion of the country wouldn’t vote for her because of her gender

    35. _MaxNL on

      The general population in the US is not ready for a woman as president. They simply are not.

      No matter how well educated, how experienced, squeaky clean she is … a convicted felon is preferable, as long as it’s a man.

      One would think it would be a no brainer; that someone like trump would not get a single female vote, but here we are with a female AG defending the pedo club tooth and nail.
