Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.
Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.
But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.
100%. A woman of color? No way.
This is why AOC can’t run for president. We would just be stuck with Trump 3.0 or some Republican poser.
I think AOC could win since she’s young and when younger generations do vote it’s for younger progressive people.
But it also requires them actually communicating policies that will get young people to go vote.
Two very qualified women have been beaten by the worst presidential candidate in the history of the country.
In what world do you think the answer is running another woman?
I love AOC. I think she is the future of this country. But she would be much more effective in the senate. Let Gavin, Walz, or someone else who is in the white dude category be on the top of the ticket.
Is that fair? No. But do you want to be fair or do you want to win elections?
Running on the status quo of a dying empire they lost to a populist lying about ousting corruption and forcing change. This story is a lot older than identity politics.
