(8,406 posts)misogyny is no longer widespread, yes, she should run.
Do I think that will happen in her lifetime? Absolutely not.
Don't sacrigice her that way.

(20,339 posts)I definitely agree that she shouldn't try to run any time soon, but she's only 35 right now and has a lot of years ahead of her.
Will it get noticeably better in MY lifetime? I'm 75. What do you think?
I think it might just happen before it's too late for AOC, but that time is not now. In 20 years, though? Maybe I'm a cockeyed optimist, but I wouldn't rule it out.

(8,406 posts)Don't underestimate it. It is older by centuries if not millennia than racism. It's also less obvious and well-concealed. by those who harbor it. The bulk of the misogynists who lost us the 2016 and 2024 elections by staying home did not announce it in advance. They just stayed home and pulled the rug out deom under us.
I remember believing that the Berlin Wall would never come down in my lifetime. I hope I live long enough to see her sworn in.

(8,406 posts)Misogyny has been around as long as the human race (at least.) Don't count on it.

(163 posts)What's wrong with what she is doing right where she is? That may be far more effective than running for president. In fact I am sure that it is.

(332 posts)is a natural move in 2028. Then, she can build a national consensus.
I love this woman!!!
PS, Let's not forget Bernie's lifetime of service. What a dynamic and dynamite duo!!!
Or is that office a handicap? She is building a national following with being a Senator.
What makes it a "natural move?" Do you mean a career move?
I am a big supporter of AOC, by the way.

(852 posts)I love AOC. This lady rocks. I predict she will have a wonderful career in politics.
FYI - Pirro is a liar, with extreme narcissistic tendencies..... A mini me to Trump
Just seeing her makes me ..... Just like Trump

(666 posts)too many of the others, I listen to them, I want to hear what they have to say, but when I do it seems like they are going out of their way not to say anything. Plus one of them makes annoying, distracting hand gestures.

(10,998 posts)I hope before I die I could shake her hand and just say thank you for fighting for the country I served during war time. That is the Thank You For Your Service I wanna hear and see. That makes me feel like my service was not in vain. To me, she could be the Knight on a White Horse coming that Newsome seems to think is non existent.
Lead, brave woman, and bring out the best of us to stand by your side and fight. Never a fight more important than the one we need to be in together, here and now.
I want an Army of AOCs and Kamalas and Jasmines, Racheal, Randi, the female Helo Pilots serving in Congress and Senate, that served in war, to take down this rot from within.
Dem women
..or an army of trump women.
Loomer, MTG, Podium Barbie, ICE Barbie, All the Fux Barbies, Boobert, Mace, frightened Murkowski, bread bag over shoes pig farmer Earnst, concerned Collins,
Damn its like two different species.
I salute and will proudly stand in battle with the democratic women.
Anybody think MAGATs are not sending life threatening attacks to AOC?
Is she cowering???

(42,098 posts)You could have done better without cussing. Like calling her a large bovine fecal matter broadcaster.

(822 posts)Jeanine Pirro can step off. Those kids receive Social Security because their parents died. How can you go on TV and pretend that you are some sort of political pundit and not know basic facts about how government and Social Security work? These MAGA Fox morons are a plague on American society. They are so stupid and malicious. They were raised wrong. Thank God for AOC and people like her.

(98,481 posts)a national election.
That being said, the next two years are going to be a disaster, and even if we win both houses of congress in 2026, it is highly unlikely that even if trump was impeached, we would have the votes to convict. Which means it will be almost impossible to change the make-up of the Supreme Court, and very likely in the next four year the SC will either stay the same or become worse.
