There’s still Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. I’d vote for her in a heartbeat.
I guess the only problem is that the voters of the US have proved themselves to still be a bit too sexist, with Clinton followed by Harris.
Personally, I put that at the feet of conservative women. When Obama ran, the African American vote showed up, he got a lot of support from voters that often leaned conservative. When women run, all too often it’s the female vote that doesn’t show up.
My problem is that AOC voted to stop the rail unions from striking. Funny how democrats can do so much nothing now, yet can flex so hard when a working class movement has momentum.
I think AOC would be able to overcome the sexism because she actually cares about the working class, unlike the establishment plants that reinforce the notion that our government doesn’t serve us.
Dems lost in 2024 because Kamala Harris reached out to Republicans and ignored the left, and because the primary theme of her campaign was “Things are pretty good,” when things were not. Sexism was a very minor part of the end result.
If we want people to vote for Democrats, we need better Democrats.

I’m not following the sexism part. Why do you say that?
Claiming “sexism” is how you obfuscate that the candidates were garbage people.
Ouch… So then you must be of the opinion that Trump won the election on his merits?
Perhaps it was his fiscal responsibility that won him the day?
