    I would vote for AOC in a heartbeat. I am tired of old men ruining the country, and tired of Israel making us their errand boy.

    As far as “experience”, when did that really matter? Obama didn’t have much foreign policy experience either and he was 1000x better than this current troglodyte pedophile.

    To me the whole foreign policy angle is a non-sequitur. Unless an candidate has been a senator/congressman for several terms, it doesn’t really apply. And how many presidents were that? Some of the best presidents had zilch in foreign policy experience and weren’t an elected official for much before they became president.

    Obama (one half-finished term as senator). Clinton (Arkansas AG and gov…hardly a place that had any need of foreign policy). Bush Jr (gov of Texas). Reagan (gov of Cali).

    Not to imply all were great, but they definitely had, at least from our current perspective, a rational viewpoint where they thought from their POV that they were doing the right thing for the country, instead of this chaotic, narcissistic, demagogue, corrupt stupidity.

    At this point a gerbil with schizophrenia would be a better option than Trump.

      It stopped mattering to me when I considered myself smarter than the president. And I’m an idiot.

        Yes, but you’re also self aware of it, which further differentiates you from the Oranguturd Chumpanzee.

      Same was true the last two times highly qualified women lost to Trumpism.

      Trump MAY not be on the next ballot, but Trumpism will be.

        Neoliberal women who were significantly to the right of the party.

        Kamala was not “qualified” to be the nominee - she’s literally never won a single delegate in her life.
