    Unlike Kamala and Clinton she actually believes in something, and not just the Dems’ very rich corporate donors.

    look at Zohran Mamdani in New York. He’s a Muslim, foreign born, socialist. Plenty of things that by the same logic would make him loose. But he won the primary and odds are he’ll Winn the mayor position.

      That’s New York. You won’t win swing states with those candidates. And I love Zohran. If he ran in California, I’d vote for him.

      And that is why she will fail.

      Welcome to reality. Welcome to America.

      We chose a felon rapist traitor over highly qualified women…twice. And those women were more qualified than AOC and more moderate. The further left AOC goes, the more voters she loses.

      She won’t win.

      He won with 48% of the 15% most involved DNC voters who took time to participate in primaries, in New York City, and he still has to win the generals next.

        The issue is we’ve never actually tried to run a populist left candidate. So everyone saying, “it’ll never work!” have no real bases for that statement. (the closest we’ve ever been was Sanders, and the DNC ensured that he was not going to be on the ballot.)

        A TRUE LEFT POPULIST WILL WIN! in my opinion

          (the closest we’ve ever been was Sanders, and the DNC ensured that he was not going to be on the ballot.)

          Ah, yes, when the DNC forged millions of votes to make Sanders lose. Twice.

          Fuck’s sake. Show up for the primaries next time, goddamn you.
