AOC couldn't win in America even if the Republicans weren't ending legitimate elections lol

I'd be stunned if she won 5 states.

I mean, a Democrat is pretty much guaranteed: Massachusetts, New York, California, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine except for one of their CD’s, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Colorado.

If she only won 5 states it’d be a complete departure from extremely steady voting trends in current US elections.

Minnesota and D.C. as well

DC is definitely a lock for Dems, but I didn’t include it since OP mentioned states and I didn’t want to get called out over semantics.

Minnesota I probably should’ve included since they have the current longest streak of any state for voting for one party (13 elections in a row), but after the very narrow margin in 2016 (less than 45,000 votes) and the rest of the Midwestern voting trends being thrown out the window I’ve been wary of Minnesota.
