    I wish people would stop saying this. She would lose. I like her, but that doesn’t change the fact that she is not going to be president.

      Why would she lose?

      The normies would project whatever fantasy they want onto her, and she’s hot so it could be positive delusions.

        She’s also brown, a liberal, and from New York. Even if she had the cure for cancer White America would rather crucify themselves than let her become president.

          See, this is why I don’t buy the “Harris lost because she’s a woman of color” crap. Centrists don’t want to admit that moving to the right has hit a wall, and it has the added bonus of being an excuse to shut out AOC.

        I’m not them and I’d happily campaign my ass off for AOC, but I expect Whitmer. Who I’d take over the likes of Shapiro or Newsom any day.

      She’s a real feisty one who’s only willing to go so far into being “corporate.” With the inevitable loss of Bernie, she will become the most recognized face of progressives in Congress. Her sharp tongue and wit, combined with an excellent ability to get her points made succinctly would serve her well in any attempt to run. She’s more lively and personable than Harris ever was.

      I’d say she has an excellent shot at the White House if she so chooses.

      That’s what they would have said about Obama in 2004 if anyone knew his name back then…

      AOC could, should, and hopefully will run
