      She will not be the minimum age of 35 until next year and this is ineligible to run for the position till 2028

      Also, we have a racism and sexism issue in this country so it would be an uphill battle.

          She wasn’t eligible last time around, which is why she couldn’t be president now.

        Soooo, there is a minimum age but not a maximum ?

        Yet cognitive decline starts way earlier than people are willing to admit !

          I’m not even 40 yet, but my brain just glasses over reality and sees whatever it is used to seeing.

          LMAO, cognitive decline does not begin in your 30s, but yeah I guess so. There is something to be said about intelligence plus life experience.

        According to the SCOTUS, being ineligible for the Presidency isn’t a barrier, to running or winning. So I say bring on AOC as the nominee instead of Biden!

      why is that lassie not your president?

      She needs to be about a century older, white, male, sell out to corporations, and shed her sense of ethics.

      Then maybe, if the GOP is running enough of a Nazi.

        It’s pretty consistent. Black men got the right to vote long before women too. The US has more deep rooted misogyny than racism, and it’s got plenty of racism.

          Blew my mind when I found out women couldn’t have their own bank accounts in the United states until 1974.

      A large chunk of the US is deeply sexist on top of other intellectual and moral failings.

      This is aggravated by the right wing fighting against education, especially when it benefits the general public.

        The age requirement applies at inauguration. AOC is old enough to run this cycle by a few months.
