The problem with AOC though is her name sounds like an acronym, which makes her sound like an institution (like a super PAC). It’s a dumb thing to complain about but affects people’s first impressions if they aren’t obsessively researching candidates.
And make sure they’re not flagrantly carrying water for a genocidal ethnostate during the run up to the election. Preferably they will be sane and won’t support that kind of thing at all. But this is America, we’re currently being led by a dementia addled gameshow host. Sanity is sadly not a prerequisite for the job.
They knew Clinton was unpopular because she first lost to Obama and they had to rig her primary against Sanders. Harris couldn’t even beat out Tulsi Gabbard in a primary and the president demanding that she be crowned the candidate has evident dementia.
Say what you will about Donald (and I don’t like him either), but he wasn’t so weak that he had to forego the primaries)

That’s because their base is already in the cult and bought into proaganda, they already knew the conclusion, the primary is a de facto sham election to show off trumps popularity.
Just make primaries mandatory. Banning consecutive terms is not going to accomplish anything worthwhile. The good things it does are more than matched by the bad, plus it’s a literal limit being placed on democratic choice.
Americans are still searching for simple answers in the form of rules. 'If only we had this rule, then Trump wouldn’t have happened. '. Trump or someone like him was the inevitable result of festering sicknesses in American culture. There are no rules you can come up with that can protect you from that without addressing root causes.
Right. And to be clear, you can have insincere boring male candidates just the same. Look at old Biden (VP Biden is somewhat different). Or look at Tim Kaine. No authenticity. No charisma. No backbone.
Nominate a woman that people actually want to be president and then maybe we can talk.
AOC, for example, is filling football stadiums in red states.

To be fair, AoC wasn’t eligible yet until last October.
Indeed.
Oh ya know… It’s not her turn. There’s like 6 people you’ve never heard of ahead of her.

Though she was also pressured successfully into largely adopting talking points from zionist apologia. “Right to defend itself” and all that.
Consecutive terms should be eliminated.
If there is no “incumbency advantage”, there will be no excuses to “we cant hold a primary because we ‘lose the advantage’” bullshit.
There’s really no excuse here, incumbency or no.

All the more reason not to make stupid decisions in a presidential race.

Democrats did technically held a primary (abeit it’s de facto for show only) in 2024, so that legal requirement wouldn’t have mattered.

My car has no charisma but its got years of character.
I drive a Nissan Charisma, which has no personality whatsoever.
Gotta wait for a few years for the character to suddenly show up. LOL.
