    Only a shock to folks who still think Democrat centerists are what’s gonna win the votes

            District Attorneys work for cops and for the interest of the government. They’re worse than cops… They empower, protect, and exonerate cops.

            This isn’t a right wing smear, it’s a reality check for libs still clutching their pearls over their shitty candidate.

      I will vote for AOC with pride. But I’m leery about running another woman right now. Neither Hillary nor Kamala could win against Trump.

      That said, I can’t think of anyone I’d be happier to vote for. I dream of her being President. I don’t know if swing states will have it, but I would fight to make it so.

        Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. There’s no statistical difference in the chances of victory between men and women when running for political office. Lots of Republican politicians are women. I don’t see it as a big deal.

        Also, lots of open racists voted for Obama. If you look at the polling and the interviews, it was much more about running conservative Democrats trying to get the votes of people who wanted to shake things up. That’s what Obama promised, that’s why Sanders would’ve won, by some measures, and it seems AOC is out there generating the same buzz.
