      Technically, she wasn’t old enough to run until this year.

      More practically, we have a center-right party and a fascist party in this country. The center-right party has a few actual leftists in it, but they tend not to gain much power.

        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.

      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.

      Because as president you serve 4-8 years and then become generally irrelevant. In congress you can serve for decades.

      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.

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

      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.
