Porque no los dos with AOC. But the quadfecta of being a woman, a person of color, a leftist, and someone born after the invention of color TV means the Dems would have to be really desperate to nominate her. Like the United States itself would have to be at risk of falling completely into the hands of fascism for them to be that desperate.
You get one shot at running for president really. AOC shouldn't waste it on this election yet. She wouldn't win, and then that would prevent her from winning a nomination in future elections.
We are at that point already and they still won't consider it.
Falling completely into the hands of fascism, you say?
TIL color television is only 80 years old, and standardized color broadcasts only 71...
She isn't old enough to run. She's only 34.
She'll be 35 by inauguration time, which is what matters according to the Constitution.
She will be 35 in October, so she would be able to run.
Soon (tm)
