I think AOC is highly electable. Good speaker, good positions, attractive, not old. Vs Kamala bad speaker bad positions moderately attractive, not old and Hilary moderate speaker, bad positions, ugly, old. Vs Newsome good speaker, bad positions, attractive, not old. Vs Republican field bad speaker, bad positions, likely ugly or unattractive, racist(positive for their base) likely not old.
I think AOC fires up the left and gets out the vote (most important Democrat quality), the moderate left and centrist independents votes for her over the right, the moderate right stays home (moreso than normal) and the far right goes Republican
I hate to say it, but 2008, 2016, and 2024 have left me unconvinced that Americans are ready for even a potential woman President. It’s wrong, it’s prejudiced, but there hasn’t been sufficient evidence that American’s will support a woman for president. Republican’s predominantly seem opposed while Democrats are either unconvinced or insufficiently motivated. I think AOC could win her own state primary, but I’m not convinced she would beat Newsome or any male candidate in the conservative state primaries.
They were terrible candidates regardless of them being women. Nobody liked them. AOC is likeable if you don’t hate women and will get young people to vote. I don’t think there is any name or there right now that is likely to get more people to the polls than her.

Kamala had a LOT of issues. But her public speaking talent was not one of them.

Hilary and Kamala didn’t inspire the left AOC would.AOC could talk circles around Hilary and Kamala.
I think Pete Buttigieg is more likely to win than any of the women, sadly.
We will have an openly gay president before a woman

I would really love to vote for an AOC-Bernie ticket.
Or Bernie-AOC
Bernie is too old
Agreed
