    And yet, she’ll never win a presidential election because she’s too polarizing. There’s literally no other way to win here if somebody else steps in. Sad that people try to do good in their job as a public representative for their people, and just fucking can’t.

    Edit to say: don’t just take my word for it. Ask Bernie Sanders. Did he win the presidency at some point? I just must have…,…

      She’s not polarising. The oligarchy controlled media that constantly paint her as some kind of radical are polarising.

          Have you seen what they say about Joe Biden?

          They’d call trump Joseph Stalin if there was a D by his name.

          It literally doesn’t matter how progressive a candidate we run, because they’ll say the same shit about anyone.

          Moderates try to defend and talk about how conservative they really are. Alienating their voters. AOC would fucking own that shit and explain how it helps everyone.

          What we’re doing isn’t working. And Biden himself keeps saying he’s powerless as president, so why not fucking try what worked for literal decades and there was no rational reason we ever stopped?

      Imagine saying that after Obama flipped a bunch of red states and brought in a shit ton of down ballot races.

      AOC is polarizing, but not as much as Obama and it’s easier the second time around.

      Hell, no body even really mentioned Biden being Catholic in 1988. You should have seen the shit they said about JFK. And similar time-frames passed between.

      And strictly police wise, the country is a lot more open to progressive policy than in 08, and again, everyone said Obama was too “polarizing” right up till election results.

        There be the facts, friend. It’s just how it works right now. Any time you figure out a better system you can get implemented, I’m all ears.

          What?

          Literally what’s how what works?

          Any time you figure out a better system you can get implemented, I’m all ears.

          Fair and open primaries, mate.

          I’ve been saying it since NH had their delegates stolen.

          Well, this cycle, almost a decade now in total. This ain’t exactly a new problem, and it’s not like no one can think of a solution.

          It’s just not easy beating corporate money in primaries until enough Dem voters demand the party sets higher standards. And most people only pay atteyonce every 4 years, then they’re too exhausted to care about politics.
