    During a debate, AOC would smash any Government of Putin candidate. The problem lies with the Democratic Party.

    AOC is a fantastic candidate in an ideal world. But she won’t win. She’s too divisive for Conservatives and moderates and I don’t expect progressives to actually vote; complaining is easier than showing up.

    My right-wing friend finds AOC hot so he might actually vote for her if she runs.

    “After Zohran Mamdani’s win, Trump reveals how scared he is to face Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez”

    Yeah, because she would be running against Trump… That’s a really silly take.

    Zohran Mamdani is just the democratic primary if I understand correctly. He’s not the mayor of New York yet.

    Ask yourself a question: why can’t a woman become a preacher, priest or pastor? All major US religions indoctrinate their followers from birth with the teachings that god does NOT permit women to exercise authority over men.

    So if Christian and Catholic men and women believe in a core set of values and reasons for why women are not allowed to take leadership roles over men in the church, what makes anyone think they don’t or won’t apply that same logic to leadership at the political level, or ANY level?

    Christians won’t let a woman lead their church, but they somehow will be OK with electing a woman into a much higher role, one that can make decisions that affect all churches/the entire world? I don’t see it.

    I think running another woman to get absolutely trounced by the populace is a poor choice. I don’t believe the people are ready for it yet, that’s how we ended up with this. Kamala was a good candidate, but with the wrong chromosomes for a very specific swing vote.
