What you missed is that AOC has a much better chance than Mamdani. Why? Because Mamdani’s chances are essentially zero. Mamdani immigrated to the US. Only natural-born citizens can be president. Mamdani becoming president would require the removal of this constitutional provision. That would require an act to pass by 2/3rds vote in both chambers of Congress and then for that amendment to be ratified by 3/4 of all the individual state legislatures. While this is theoretically possible, it’s essentially impossible. Immigration is already unpopular in the US. And there’s no way you’re getting 3/4s of the states, including many deep red Republican states, to amend the constitution so Mamdani can be president.
I see, didn’t know that Mamdani was ineligible, my point was that any female democratic candidate is going to lose, no matter how qualified, ironically the only way I see a possible female US president is if Trump passes the torch to his daughter
Maybe, but I remember when Hillary Clinton ran for president, She had the credentials, experience, rich, white, connected, running against a nobody, and She lost because of some emails she sent from a private server. Jump to 2026 and Trump now can be a Senile/Pedophile/Cannibal/Rapist/Inside Trader and nobody bats an eye
She was also the quintessential neoliberal when that brand of politics has become unelectable as president. Biden only managed a win in 2020 because of Covid.

I think that’s just your sexism leaking through, honestly.
