    No, I don’t. All I’m saying is she’s awesome. I propose that the people want someone who is different and probably the only people who are currently very public that people might want to vote for would be Bernie and AOC.

    But probably new names would be best. New names that are not polarizing and that attract Republican vote. There have to be normal people who are currently Republican but would vote democrat if the right candidate came along. Why not test the waters now. See if AOC is electable if she’s not, then definitely do not look inside. Look for new people.

      They’re kinda clipping their own legs with their pessimistic nihilism in this. I get it, woman prez scary to put up for a candidate right now. But the attitude should be more like “HELL YEAH THAT WOULD BE AWESOME” from sympathetic constituents. It’s about sending a message, a strong one. The apathy reads like self fulfilling astroturfing to me.
