Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
AOC was a genuinely transformative candidate for about six months in 2019, right after she got elected but before Nancy Pelosi put her in a headlock and nuggied her into submission. Now she’s just a cardboard cutout of democratic socialism that the neoliberal base of the party can drag out to fundraise with.
No way will America vote a latina or a woman, or both.
America elected an African American Man, because he had a 1000 watt smile and knew how to talk pretty on TV.
I think AOC still needs work on her stage presence. But with some coaching and practice, a bit more time dealing with the national news vultures, and a base that’s hungry enough to buy what she’s selling, she could be a front-runner for anything she wants to run for.
If she makes it to a general election, indie voters are absolutely going to trip over their own dicks turning out for President Cute Feet. But I suspect she’ll be sandbagged in the primary by some mummy brigade from Iowa accidentally unplugging all the voting booths from the district with voters under the age of 40. Then she places a tight second behind Pete Buttigieg and the super-delegates tell her they’ll make her the VP candidate if she can raise an extra $150M.
