“One of the things that we heard last night, resoundingly across the country, is that we are in … a new movement in this country,” Flanagan said. “Many of us were elected who refused corporate PAC money, who are beholden only to the people who elected us and are ready to fight for bold change. And so I think it’s time for new leadership.”

        Yes, that would be a good choice, but is she not better off running for president in 2028?

          I think it would be typical Dem stupidity to run another woman after the last two times it flat didn’t work. Unfortunately, it seems like enough of America still doesn’t believe a woman is up for the job. AOC would definitely make a good president, at least by comparison, but I think she will be more valuable as a senior member of Congress, if she maintains progressive integrity as the money piles up

            “We tried running two center-right warmongering women and it failed, so the only conclusion is that women are unelectable!”

            This is just blatant misogyny. They didn’t lose because of their vaginas, they lost because of their policies.
