Why does the Democratic party have a hard on for running failed politicians? Kamala lost, let others step up. AOC would do great in the Dem Primaries

Ok look I voted for Kamala but if a candidate fails can we please run someone one else? You don't run the same person over again because the same people who felt like she was forced down their throats are still going feel like she's being forced down their throats.
And the same bs that was used against her will be used again. But people eat yhay shit up which is why it works.
And her tactics of bring out appealing to Republicans again is probably whay she'll do again and that's going to lose more dem voters.
The corporate Dems need to go away.
Second place to Harris??? Holy fuck we deserve our fate.
Edit: upon reading the article (I know...) AOC has the best net favorability. So a little more hopium there.
The fact that Harris is considered as an option indicates your statement is correct.
The majority of the voting population answers this question based on name recognition alone. You're way more up to speed on the options than the average American voter. We need to put energy into getting people like AOC in front of as many disengaged and unaware people as possible. NOT complain and whine that everything isn't handed to us on a platter.
She's in second place and we have 3 years to move her into first, that sounds worth a shot to me. But go ahead and throw your hands up in the air, tuck your tail, and say there's nothing we can do.
We are closer than we've ever been in my lifetime.
I'd vote for AOC over Kamala, 100%.
I mean, I still voted for Kamala, but I wasn't excited about it.
Welcome to American politics, when the 2028 election begins in 2024 and the 2028 primary began in 2020.
I'm so tired.
The shock to me is that Kamala Harris is in the poll at all. What rallies is she hosting? Is she even making any media appearances? I wouldn't be surprised though if the DNC pull out the super delegates to say AOC has lost day 1 if there is even going to be a 2028 election at all.
Jfc here we fuckin go again. Lemme guess DNC, this will totally be an open primary right? Anyone can win?
They're going to fuck us again. They thrive on failure. Weaponized ineptitude.
Feels like controlled opposition. I know we need to engage with the democratic party because they're the best we got but JFC can they stop sucking corporate dick for 5 seconds.
A poll looking 3 years ahead is about as accurate as an astrological chart (and just to be clear, those are worthless).
Please god give us AOC in 2028. Shes the FDR 2 we need when this is all over.
Wait why is Harris even running again? I don't think she's that bad but I can't vote in US elections - the electorate rejected her.
AOC would receive my vote.
If only your drmocrat handlers let you vote for who you want and not for who they choose.
Bold of them to assume there is going to be an election 2028
yeah, zero interest in supporting kamala "keep arming isreal" fucking harris again.
We're 2.5-3 years away from the primary race even starting, and 3+ years away from the convention. This poll means absolutely nothing at this point.
Yeah okay pack it in boys, we're screwed lol.
Why even bother to run a primary at this point? Just let the DNC select their candidate so we can skip out on the 6 months of sham and shilling.
spoiler
Also told all yall we need progressives to split from DNC and form a fresh 3rd party bruh.

Stop with this shit. It's 2025. This is stupid.

Women can't be president in America. We have a shitty culture that prevents that from happening. We keep trying, we keep failing. If you want to win, find another candidate with a dick. That's a requirement in America. Not saying I like it. Just saying that's reality.
Defeatists ignoring the number of people attending her rallies recently.
She's an amazing candidate. I'd vote for her. I dunno about the rest of the country tho. They seem to really appreciate white men when it comes time to vote. All other issues be damned.
