Plenty of people would vote for AOC, especially after a campaign raises her profile. And yeah, there would be shitlords who wouldn’t vote for a woman - but if you bring the policies, you bring the change people are wanting; the edgelords can’t outnumber the rest of the people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] I_Jedi@lemmy.today 8 points 3 months ago (1 child) Unpopular opinion: The Blue No Matter Who people won't vote for AOC, because she's too "uppity" to follow the party line. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DomeGuy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 child) There's a great filter for BNMW folk.
