Democrats don't win with women. That's all there is to it.
Below 30 is not statistically significant, and you have 2.
Centrist democrats don't want AOC to run and they're willing to hold back all women to prevent that.
That's all there is to you.
Ok, go ahead and run AOC and lose to JD Vance.
Oh don't worry. She won't make it through the kabuki that democrats have the temerity to call primaries. Whatever corpodem no one actually likes that your wing of the party decides to force on us is gonna lose to vance.
In other words, it's gonna be newsom.
I'm a leftist, but I'm also a realist. AOC will not win against a man. I'm not saying she shouldn't be able to run or that she would be a bad candidate. I'm saying that the majority of voters are sexist.
I don't buy that narrative. I think republicans are sexist and democrats need someone they can actually trust to vote for. That's not gonna be newsom, but unless there's a strong candidate on the progressive side that can overcome the party's ratfuckery, we're gonna get stuck with newsom.
Which means he'll lose to whoever his republican opponent is, and the left is gonna get blamed again, and the party will shift even further to the right and throw more vulnerable minorities under the bus in a fruitless attempt to gain republican votes.
I think you surround yourself with good people and believe that to be how the rest of the country is. A lot of voters are racist, sexist, idiots.
Yes, and they aren't going to vote for newsom either, no matter how many of his opinions he gets from charlie kirk.
