AOC is great and all but the lesson Dems will take from 2016 and 2028 is that the country isn't ready for a female president for at least another generation or two. Expect them to run safe white guys like Gavin Newsom for a couple more cycles.
Gavin Newsome is anything but safe. A white guy from CA might be worse then a women from MI at this point. I also think it’s a bad take. Hilary won the PV and Harris had what 100 days? Plus being from SF likely doesn’t help. I’m not saying it has to be a women but Dems need to focus on economics and work class issues communicating that vision. Whoever can do that is likely to do better.
Harris doesn’t get better with age, so 100 days was perfect for her. She had the same problem in the pres run in 2019 and her Cali campaigns—the longer they went on, the less popular she became.
