    Well, so far the women we’ve run are 1) one of the most hated politicians of all time, and 2) a cop who repeatedly stated her support for genocide.

    So… idk if ‘women’ is the issue here. Maybe we should try running one that doesn’t come with decades of baggage / isn’t an overtly horrible person?

    I mean, sexism is definitely a factor, but one that has thus far only become insurmountable in combination with a mountain other barriers.

      I think you nailed it here. Give the people a choice to vote for AOC and I think it will happen.
