Let's get AOC to run. She'll be old enough next time 'round.

It's clear the "catering to moderates" strategy has been a catastrophic failure. I say we change gears and actually put up a candidate that isn't going to try and "play both sides."

AOC hasn't been afraid to criticize her party's decisions, I think she could take the platform Bernie Sanders took and actually make some progress.

Problem is, the DNC would actually need to fucking cooperate instead of falling into their same old tried and failed ways, unlike they did with Bernie both times he ran. I don't see that happening, and as always, third parties aren't really an option.

Problem is that she's a woman, and a statistically significant chunk of America is repulsed by idea of being ruled by a woman. (I'm not going to say a large portion, but big enough that it played a factor in this election)

That's also true, as disgusting as it is.

I'm not in the US, so I won't be voting for any presidential candidates, but I've been impressed with AOC whenever I've seen her in interviews.

You're right about the infighting thing though, and it seems to be endemic to left leaning parties everywhere, whereas the right usually seem to be a much more cohesive team.

Not a lot to argue about when the goal is to make as much money as possible by any means necessary
