    This is all based on believing that Harris only lost because she was a woman of color. Pretty shortsighted honestly.

      very shortsighted. I blame the DNC running Biden for far too long and then lying to their base about why Kamala lost. It’s very obvious that Kamala would have been 100% more competent than Trump. She should have won in a landslide, & I’m from Minnesota where she did win. She just didn’t distance herself from the growing unpopular and conservative tint that Biden started really showing especially after/regarding October 7th /israel.

      What I’ve also been wondering about this; Hasn’t AOC also said she doesn’t really want to run for president, is there anyone with some knowledge that can point me to that or was I making that up? I could swear I remember something about her seeing congress as her long term thing as she sees it as more strategic?

      I mean I listed 4 specific reasons why AOC wouldn’t win. She shares 3 of them with Harris. And yeah, the being a woman one is a HUGE reason in this country. Clearly Harris made her own unique mistakes. The 4 reasons I listed are more than enough to keep AOC from the presidency.

        Oh come on, don’t clip the quote like that. If you’re going to quote me, quote in full.

        I think AOC could win depending on how sour the American people turn on Trump and I don’t think those 3 reasons are why Harris lost.
