I would love for a fairytale ending where AOC takes it in a landslide but I think anyone pretending a dark skinned minority woman can win in this climate might just be brain dead.
I me a if magically she wins the primaries by a landslide great, but she won’t, and worse yet, unlike Mamdani who is fighting uphill both ways, she’s not nearly as sharp on her feet and she can’t promise as much as he has because without a senate majority you just can’t make that much change in the USA.
More than that, she would have to work with the other democrats who obviously are center right, so pushing through progressive policies would be extremely difficult.
You also have to remmebr that the billionaires that control ad spend wouldn’t be spending very much on her, and let me put it this way, Lemmy is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the reach the platforms they own have.
These are the realities I feel many hyper online leftists don’t want to acknowledge.
Given the realities, Newsom is the most solid choice to put out the immediate fire that I’ve seen floated so far.
Anyone that cares about her skin tone is already voting for R anyways.
I’d like to think that, but the fact he got similar votes this past election to the previous one and she got less than Biden did (Hillary got less than Biden did too while they both ran essentially the same campaigns) tells a different story.
