No, the people currently in the Democratic party don’t want to rock the boat and maintain status quo. They have cushy jobs they don’t want to lose to people that actually want to help fix things so they’ll stand in the way in any way they can.
I’m not saying that Americans won’t think “oh, a third? really?” but you have to remember that Kamala fucking sucked. She was a pacifier the Biden administration threw at us to shut us up about him stepping down, and she knew she was, and if she cared at all, she lacked the strength to step out of line or say anything about it. Nobody believed she would meaningfully change their lives—that’s ultimately why she lost.
She lost to the fascist head of the new project 2025, and in her closing speech said something about the stars in the night sky and went on vacation. Pointing out that she’s a woman before pointing out that she and the rest of her democrat cohorts do not have any beliefs is absurd.
Not with that attitude it isn’t. It also wasn’t ready for a black man to be president, a Catholic man, a disabled man, a gay man, etc.
Also, in 2016 the majority of Americans did vote for a female president. This indicates perhaps it wasn’t the right candidate rather than the wrong time.
Time after time we put our heads on the chopping block thinking this Tim it will be different. Do me a favor, save this and let me know how it goes if she somehow gets the nod from the DNC which she won’t. But if she does and once again we lose to a repub you let me know how that went. I’ve heard plenty of women say they don’t want a woman in office. I don’t agree. But this country is not yet enlightened enough to make that happen.
Except when you actually talk about policy they are. Ask someone “would you rather have free healthcare or means-tested subsidies for employer-sponored insurance purchased through 1 of 50 state-run websites. The plans change every year.” “Should anyone be able to go to college without worrying about debt? Or should almost everyone take on random amounts of debt, and have no idea what that debt will be until they’ve already applied?”
Democratic voters don’t want to waste their votes on another unelectable female presidential candidate.
I want to vote for AOC and I’ve been registered Democrat since 2016.
This Democratic voter would love to vote for a young, promising, progressive candidate though

I agree with your statement but I mean that I want AOC instead of another unelectable female candidate.
As much as I’d love her to be president … I agree - this country is not ready for a female president.

Do you even realize that Hillary and Harris have similarities that aren’t tits? What voters don’t want is another corporate sellout.
News flash - most voters aren’t us progressives.
What does being a progressive have to do with it? They aren’t liberals either. They are elitists and corporatists, and most voters aren’t that either.

I get where you are coming from, but I am not sure I agree. It would definitely be something to behold if it happened.
I do share some of your pessimism about this though. I to think that AOC may be shunned by the DNC neo liberals.
