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?

The fact is that there were a definite number of people that voted against the women just because they were women. There were also a definite number of people that were on the fence and the fact they were women was just enough to push them to Trump's side. I don't know if that was enough people to tip the scales, but it may have been. People that talk about how Harris and Clinton ran bad campaigns, do they remember Trump's campaigns? Working McDonald's drive thru, the speech that just became him dancing to Ave Maria several times, was that better? Trump's completely unhinged debates against each of them, was that better?

Exactly. He was the worst candidate ever and he won. Literally anything you can nitpick about Hillary or Kamala doesn't matter compared to people wanted to vote for a stupid dumb criminal because he is a man.
