politics

I appreciate Bernie for being an adult and helping to boost up the people that will be here after him.

Most every other politician, when they aren't cramming their unqualified, entitled broodspawn where they don't belong, is gnawing off limbs trying to make sure they're entombed with their positions like the pharaohs.

Yeah she should run

I'm a big fan of AOC, but I think I'd rather her wait until 2032. The next presidency (if there even is one) is going to be a fucking shitshow trying to clean up Trump's messes. I'd rather her get the opportunity to be a "get shit done" President, instead of having to spend all her time rooting out Trump's traitors in the government while getting villainized in the media.

As inappropriate and watered down as it sounds, I honestly don't think this country is going to vote in a female president this decade. Race plays a part too, but I honestly think that this country is more sexist than it is racist when it comes to presidential voting. It's partially a gut feelings, but I think gender played a bigger role than many people think in the 2016 and 2024 elections. As messed up as it sounds, I think Bernie POTUS with AOC VP would stand a better chance of winning right now as opposed to the other way around. Even with all of the socialist/communist boogie-man bullshit that Bernie gets thrown at him.

Love the optimism that there will be elections in the US in the foreseeable future!

I would like to say: clinton didn't lose because she's a woman, she lost because she's a sleazeball. harris didn't lose because she's a woman, she lost because she was courting the right wing for some reason. AOC can win because she's not a sleazy right winging neolib. I'd vote for her for president.

And the status quo liberals will coalesce like Voltron to stop her just like they did with Bernie.

Look at this point you could literally run George Washington himself as a Democrat and MAGA wouldn't vote for him.

Also, compared to the current guy, a rancid portion of tuberculotic lung coughed up in a pool of fetid blood on the floor of some 18th century eastern European sanitarium is a "very good politician".

A female president of a normal age would be an amazing change for the US. Why does it always have to be geriatric males?

I mean how many times do we have to learn the hard way that America won't elect a woman to be president?

Look at this country.

It's a shitshow.

It didn't elect a woman when the other option was a felon, rapist, insurrectionist manchild with one failed presidency and two impeachments already under his belt.

Do we really want to do this again when the stakes are so unbelievably high?

Goddamn. People need to get their heads screwed on straight. She isn't just a woman, she's also profoundly hated by a lot of Americans for being so progressive. Why the fuck would we do this to ourselves? I mean America wouldn't even elect Bernie, the male version of her with a lot more experience.

WE NEED TO START LIVING IN REALITY.

I like AOC. I respect her for what she does. But she's not going to be president in 2028.

I really don't understand the comments on these types of posts. Everyone is like "she should do the Senate I'm not sure she's right/ready for president". Why? Our current president is an 80 year old pedophile, our previous president was an 80 year old likeable moron...

You guys don't want change you want you return to the status quo.
