The chances of either of those two getting elected is 0%.
A gay person or a Latino woman? I don't think you understand how a lot of this country thinks.
I'm Canadian and I'll gladly tag along. Gotta get Pete to appear more on Fox. He has a knack for outlining facts to their viewers whilst making the host(s) look like complete imbeciles with grace and finess...
Wish. But America is not ready or willing to elect a woman president. I love aoc but in this moment we are 0/2 with female candidates. Don’t shoot the messenger I voted for Kamala. I’m not even sure how well Pete would do being a scary gay person. Sigh.
It will be a generation before the dems nominate a woman again, sadly. Not until we eradicate this fascist fetish. I think the first woman president will have to be Republican unless we can get a MASSIVE backlash to this idiocy whipped up.
I’m all for equality but do you want to lose the election again? Woman are 0% win rate or 0/2 in presidential elections and those were against a terrible candidate. Not saying it’s the only thing that caused it but we need to stabilize the country before we risk striking out.
Not my fault that the pattern shows a large portion of the country are sexist or at the very least, have low confidence in a woman president. But hey, when the country is literally being torn apart piece by piece, you’ll still have your pride. What’s the worst that can happen?
Sadly, women can't win top spot yet, til we topple this shit and bury it forever. We can't afford to lose ground right now.
I'm afraid for CA Dems not picking a "comfortable" white male for next Gov. We gotta do more than edge these magats out next few years. Gotta smother them. Whatever it takes.
Can women win top spot? Hillary actually did win the popular vote. If not for the electoral college she would have been President. As for Kamala, she just may have won if the election was fair and the votes were not manipulated.
I feel like Biden would have lost too. His dementia was significant and the rise against our liberal best interests was too strong - must move to middle. Plan on Trump not leaving this time - may suspend election.
Unfortunately, Faux News regularly wins more viewers than any other news broadcast. That is the reality. Sticking our heads in the sand won't accomplish anything
I think they’re living up to their new title as an “entertainment network” but the issue of course is that people still treat it as news and not the clown show it really is
Ideally, sure. Unfortunately, we have to live in a reality where the right has shown us how they feel about women candidates. If we want to take the high road, we go this route. If we want to win, we produce a Populist who can speak down to a 4th grade level.
Unfortunately because of how the electoral college is set up you can't win an election without moderate votes and this country has swung so hard right that it'll probably be 20 years before someone as progressive as AOC would have a chance at winning.
not if she's the only politician with enough apine to stand up to DT. I don't think you understand the anger boiling underneath as they realize they've been had. I bet a lot of them would love nothing more than to hurl AOC at his face.
And that is certainly your choice. No candidate will please everyone. Heck Barack Obama wasn't fully embraced by the party during his primaries with Clinton but he walked away with the victory. While many might not vote for AOC or Pete Buttigieg, many others will. Thanks for your opinion on this. 💙
Also... I knocked on doors in Florida for Obama. I got a lot of doors slammed in my face but I still loved the feeling and knowledge that I was doing something solid that I believed in. I believe in AOC & Pete Buttigieg.
Depending on who was running against her, I would either vote for her opponent or not vote. But do you not realize that Trump won, at least in part, not because people liked him, but because many felt we had already gone too far left?
And others felt we had not gone far enough. Democrats have been being pulled to the center for so long that they have crossed the line. Today's democrats (old school ones) look like yesterday's center right Republicans. I feel comfortable with this.Trump also got in because people chose not to vote.
The number of republicans and independents who feel we have not gone far enough left approaches zero. You can’t win an election without at least some republican and independent votes. And although there are some democrats who feel we haven’t gone far enough, even they are outnumbered.
I disagree. I believe many sit out the election because they feel their votes don't matter because often the choices boil down to Republican (R candidate) and Republican-lite (D candidate) Nah, it's time for the pendulum to swing back strong and correct course on this and capitulation is not it.
This is the kind of living in the past thinking that ends up with our team losing. Old school democrats have been losing for a long time because they do not want to evolve to fit the needs of their constituents. The experts keep weighing in and keep being wrong. I respect your opinion but disagree.

Christ people with the half assed excuse for analysis
Worst cycle for incumbents worldwide in memory. The black woman with 107 days comes closer than any other incumbents were doing
But yeah that’s enough “proof” to exclude women forever
Laughable

America isn't changing in 45 months.
Straight white moderate same man at top or lose again.
Dems are getting delusional again.
Probably in a landslide
But damned Kamala’s boobs got in the way
You couldn’t put her on fox. Not yet.
