Well I want a team that can win. Other people do like Walz; Harris’ popularity spiked with that announcement. The campaign then hid him under a rock because he scared donors.
Even though AOC is one of the rare American politicians that I like, it’s probably not the best idea to make her the presidential candidate. Simply due to the fact that she’s a woman. The last few dem losses make it clear that America is still very sexist.
Is it because they were women? Are you sure it wasn’t because they were borderline Republicans? Both Clinton and Harris are two of the most conservative democratic candidates to run in the last 30 years.
I’m in some circles that would never support her because she sat down with Hasan Piker. I would absolutely support her, but she’s pretty polarizing. Same was said of Bernie despite him having one of the most successful grassroots attempts in history. Blows my mind that because they’re populists they’re immediately discounted by some, even though the positions they support are the ones we desperately need.
Forgive my rant, but just because Trump is a populist with us vs them rhetoric does not make them equal by any fucking stretch of the imagination, and it drives me insane that the friends I’m thinking of are so blinded by the label.
I don’t want Waltz anywhere near the presidency.
I would definitely vote for AOC any day of the week though.
Nah.

Democrats really are willing to shut out all women as soon as a progressive woman is suggested.
