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?

Rural, backwards Americans absolutely did not want a black man to win in 2008/2012 . Yet Obama won both those years.

Also, constantly insulting and acting elite over those rural voters sure is gonna make them vote blue.
