Cause she would never win in today's climate. US is still too bigoted to elect a woman.
People like you used to say a black president could never happen
She could absolutely win. The problem is the Dems putting forth unpopular women.
The men aren't always ideal...
Democrats have the same owners as republicans, but with rainbow flags. Newsom is their candidate
I don't know... I think it's more the coding than the reality.,
Hillary and Harris both tried being amicable and aspirational and appealing to people's better instincts.
But most Americans don't HAVE better instincts. So when AOC punches back and doesn't take anybody's crap, it's gonna hit different.
