The two women who made credible attempts at becoming president also happened to be utterly terrible politicians, but I'm sure that had nothing to do with the outcome.

    Okay, so question: Why, in two out of the last three election cycles, has the DNC put forward "utterly terrible politicians" as the party leader and candidate for the world's highest office?

    Because a non-terrible candidate would do popular things they don't want to do? What even is this question?

    So either AOC is a terrible politician or the DNC won't push her.

    Because if they can't win with their corpo zombie zionist center-right candidate, they'd rather lose and play feckless controlled "opposition" than do anything to jeopardize their gravy train with a progressive.
