    Sure, if we ignore the historical data, a woman at the top of the Democratic ticket 100% has a real shot at winning the White House.

    AOC is obviously one of the only people within the party who gives a damn, and is fighting - but putting her on the ticket isn’t going to end well at this moment in history. Voters are clearly terrified to not have an old white man in the Oval Office

      Sure, if we ignore the historical data, a woman at the top of the Democratic ticket 100% has a real shot at winning the White House.

      During the past two times that a woman has run for president, it has been in a time in which people want change. In both cases, we’ve had a centrist candidate who represents the untenable status quo.

      All the “a woman can’t win” line does is hold back all women because democrats don’t want a particular woman to be able to run.

      There isn’t anything more to it.
