Absent any evidence.
That’s why it’s a hypothetical and was framed as such. If she decides to run again, the party’s likely gonna try, all the while saying that AOC can’t run because a woman of color can’t win.
Comment on American workers are tired of waiting.

Absent any evidence. Kind of like how Bernie flat out DID. NOT. WIN. in 2020. No shenanigans- he couldn’t muster support.
God I’d love a progressive candidate but America seems not to and Im tired of people making excuses for it. Show up or stfu.

2020? In 2020, the DNC literally coordinated for all the centrist candidates except Biden to drop out right before a critical primary day. Warren stayed in the race to divide the progressive vote, but literally all the centrist candidates except Biden dropped out simultaneously. There was absolutely ratfucking in the 2020 primary.
And what evidence could you possibly want for the DNC forcing Harris? They were literally the only people involved in selecting her as the candidate. The voters did not get a say.

Yeah no shit. You can’t convince your own party to vote for you you don’t deserve it.
That’s politics for all you morons. Bernie could’ve collaborated with Warren for one of them to drop in exchange for a cabinet position, etc. but they didn’t.
There’s nothing insidious about that. Centrists grouped and voters rewarded them for that. Bernie didn’t. I voted for him in 2020.
Simply put, progressives are more upset that there aren’t more of them or that they don’t show up. Either way they LOST because the majority of Democratic voters don’t vote that way.
Maybe they should spend more time convincing everyone of their positions instead of bitching at bogus bogeymen for all their failures.
