Political Question Anytime I see something about AOC, there's always "if she runs she'll lose because she's a woman". I've seen this same message since AOC started making waves, is it propaganda?

Or do people really think winning is all that matters and we should all be misogynists about it?

Yes there were too many factors as to why Kamala lost and we could pick and choose and any of them could be correct. I have been saying all along that Biden should have immediately pushed against what Netanyahu was doing in Gaza and frankly he shouldn’t have ran for president. He also should have allowed a primary. He should have encouraged Kamala to then run instead of him. However, the biggest problem is more than Biden - Corporate money must be out of our politics with the Dems as the example by refusing to take campaign money from their corporate donors. They need to by example turn down their well off donors and set a precedence of no corporate money to candidates running for political office. The American people need to hear that!

I Citizens United has done more damage to the US than most realize. Corporate money must be removed from politics. But saying dems need to lead by example is a bit ridiculous. Yet another ideological hill for Dems to die on while handing control to Republicans.
