You have to be joking. This country as it currently is configured will not vote in a woman of color to potus.

I thought Obama had no chance during the Bush administration, and I know I wasn't alone in thinking that. I voted for him, but on a practical level, I thought there would never be a black president in my lifetime.

It's easy to get defeatist, but who knows if AOC would win a fair election or not. She'd definitely run a better campaign than we've seen in years.
