    Gender had nothing to do with why she lost, she was a shit candidate that bowed to keep all the issues that people had with Biden in place while cozing up to people barely left of trump.

      centrists keep banging the “women can’t win” drum because they don’t have a woman on their bench who is as popular as AOC. They’re holding back all women to stop one progressive woman.

      I think gender had a lot to do with things. She was a mediocre candidate, leagues better than trump, yet Americans were content with the possibility of trump being elected.

        She tried running on a Republican platform courting Republicans

        The people don’t want a phony Democrat. If it’s a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat.

          She tried running on a democrat platform, which is republican lite. There are at least some semblance of policies to help people with the democratic platform.
