If an old white dude like Bernie couldn’t beat Hilary and Biden, what chance does a Latina woman in her 30s have?

I mean, if you completely ignore the DNC doing everything legally in their power to get in the way of Bernie and force feed Hilary in the first place... because they can't allow anyone vocal about actual progressive ideas in a position of party power... yeah that's what it looks like. But that's a pretty big thing to just ignore.

Honestly, I think she has a great chance. People didn't not vote for Hillary because she was a woman. It's because she represented the establishment and inspired nobody. People didn't not vote for Harris because she was a woman. It's because she represented the establishment and inspired nobody.

AOC is a candidate who seems to actually represent change. She seems to listen to the desires of the people and follow that. She doesn't just do what the donors demand. She has a chance because she does inspire people to see what could be, not just to repeat what is.

If Mamdani is an indication of anything, people will vote for leftist economic populism despite there being racial divides.

In the past few weeks and months, we saw in New York City that the majority of Jewish people still support Israel over Palestine. Yet, Mamdani has consistently pulled a plurality of Jewish support with double digit leads over the other candidates.

What this means is that Jewish people are just like any other American, and they are feeling the effects of this shit economy caused by Trump. Mamdani represents a bandaid to that more than the other candidates, so they're going with that and ignoring Mamdani's anti-Zionist and anti-Israel policy.

I don't think it matters what candidate you push a campaign for if they run on Left populism. As we've seen with Platner in Maine, though, being a white male veteran doesn't hurt either.

To be a latina woman in her 30s would be a definite pick for a presidency over a geriatric male (let's be honest, I like Bernie Sanders but he is very old).

For such a job you'd want someone in their prime age with sharp attention span, with a forward-looking vision, not back. With multicultural experience to better communicate with the rest of the world.

I'm not an American so I can't vote but I would definitely pick her out of those two.

So let her try to win the primary. If she doesn’t win, what difference would it make?

Bernie’s problem was that he wasn’t a democrat. I voted for him but I know a lot of people, like my parents, who are center-left who simply refused to vote for somebody who didn’t caucus with democrats. These are the same people who are already looking at people like Newsom.

Edit for clarification: I understand that the Bernie is considered to caucus with the democrats because he generally votes with them. However, those who used the term disparagingly as I referenced above don’t believe independents can caucus with any party and used that as an excuse to refer to him as a DINO and not caucusing or being required to caucus.

That and honestly I do like governors as canidates as they have more direct experience running a government. In the last election I was excited waltz was the vp. Granted the presidency is more about who you select to run the agencies which is one of the many reasons trump sucks so bad.

Fuck em and fuck that weak shit.

The neoliberals fucked up and can get out of the way forever or we might as well ride this bitch of a species screaming into the abyss.
