No, Dem voters hate uncharismatic politicians with policy to the right of the Dem voting base.
And Hillary and Harris still almost won because Trump is so shit.
The part that needs to change is not the gender of the candidate
, as the billionaires run the Democratic Party too
No, neoliberals have held the DNC chair for decades. And they did whatever billionaires said.
The current chair of the DNC is not a neoliberal. He used to be Minnesota's state chair, and if he acts like he did then he'll be the most progressive chair we've had in 30 years, arguably 50 years.
The fight over the party already happened and the neoliberals lost.
Don't blame the new guy for what the old guy did
Hillary lost because of a multi-decade campaign against her by the right wing propaganda machines.
Hillary lost because the only voting demographic that hates her more than Republican voters, is Dem voters.
For valid reasons related to her unpopular policy and zero charisma.
It doesn't matter how many comments you make denying it, people started paying attention to politics again.
Who gives a shit?
We could run Dick Cheney and they'd say the same shit about him.
They're going to say anyone with a D by their name is a fucking communist, it literally doesn't matter what the fucking Republicans say, and there is no logical reason we should move to the right of our own voters because of what Republicans say.
Because, and I truly hate to break this to you:
Republicans fucking lie and Santa isn't real.
The problem with Hillary wasn't Republicans saying she sucked because they were "scared" she lost because no one fucking likes her or her policies.
If you add every single undecided to Schumer...
The survey by the liberal firm Data for Progress, first shared with POLITICO, found that 55 percent of Democratic likely voters said they supported or leaned toward supporting Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, while 36 percent backed or leaned toward backing Sen. Schumer. Nine percent were undecided.
AOC would still have a double digit lead...
It's not
Venn diagram of racism and sexism is pretty much a single circle. And they'd treat an old white straight catholic conservative male just as badly.
Don't listen to the neoliberals who blame Hillary and Harris' lose on sexism. They lost due to their conservative policies and almost conplete lack of charisma and authenticity.
AOC is essentially the complete opposite in those regards
I'm honestly surprised they're not being sent to Russia to be used in the meat grinder...
Pulled all of my funds out of the market months ago...
No idea why people thought leaving their retirement funds in the stock market with trump in charge would be a good idea.
People are going to say it shouldn't be her for all the same reasons they said Obama couldn't win...
AOC is popular enough to get the votes, and she'll actually fight while in office.
I really hope she runs.
trump won't for much longer....
They are already trying to setup Kamala for 2028.
Who is "they"?
We have a DNC chair that at worst will be impartial.
And Harris has zero chance of winning a fair primary.
The only way a neoliberal can win a primary is if the party hands it to them.
The only way a Republican becomes president, is if the only other choice is a neoliberals.
The only reason the Republicans have the house, is because of "victory fund" bankrupting stat parties.
We really didn't need much, and we got it. Which is why we desperately need to capitalize and move the Overton window as far left as possible while we can

Then it sounds like you're ignorant both of how the DNC works and Ken Martin's history running Minnesota's state party...
The DNC chair is a dictator, he calls all the shots and is accountable to no one. For all intents and purposes the DNC chair is the national party.
It's been less than two months since Martin took over the DNC. Don't blame him for what happened before he had total control.
But seriously, look into what Minnesota has been up to. Loads of progressives and turned a battleground into a solid blue state.
His main concern is winning elections, so he doesn't fight progressives in primaries, because that's what voters want.
This isn't blind loyalty. If I didn't have valid reasons to support the DNC I can assure you I wouldn't be doing it
