So far, she would be my absolute top pick.

However.

I am worried not even so much about her politics (with which I agree), but that I don't think the US is progressive enough for vote for a woman as President.

That said, I grant that Obama won.

But we've seen a couple of moderate women run and lose.

The fascist propaganda machine is strong, but I think it's especially strong against women.

I think that's fucking stupid, but I think that's reality.

That said… damn I hope we don't end up with Newsom. And frankly, while I voted for Harris in the general… I hope we don't end up with her. We already know a lot of people don't like her and she did struggle to have appeal on a personal level.

I don't see any really great choices right now.

I wish we could have AOC. But I also know we'd be back to Obama levels of bullshittery from the fascists, although they will also do that for any Democrat - like Biden who was generally fine enough (if not nearly as progressive as we need).

Meh.
