Clearly there is something about Alexadria Ocasio-Cortez that I don’t know

I don’t follow American politics closely enough to know her as well as you will. Other than ‘blah, socialists’, what is it about her you don’t like? I genuinely want to know, I don’t want to be on the wrong side here

I think we Dems should abandon these token candidates and get someone serious - If you stick a woman in there - she will get the votes because she is a woman. If you stick a black person in there he will get the votes because of guilt and his skin color ONLY.

Here is a novel idea, bring someone to the table that will get elected because they have PROVEN leadership qualities. Stop rushing to fill a slot because of Nationality or Religion ( oh God - no more Bernie ) or sex.

Our last prez ----- "Oh, our first African American president" , OK now show me the substance. There is no there, there.

@MarmeeMarch Love it - get someone proven... as long as they aren't black or female 😂

@QuixoticSoul Or - get someone black or female that can do the job. But dont get them BECAUSE they have only those qualities.

@MarmeeMarch She didn't get the job just because she's a woman, that's silly and unnecessarily dismissive.

MarmeeMarch · M

@QuixoticSoul OK - she got the job because she is a woman - that sounds much better .........

@MarmeeMarch Isn't that what you're saying?

MarmeeMarch · M

@QuixoticSoul Yep and its ridiculous. So I want someone with substance name a woman. Clinton is out.

@MarmeeMarch What exactly makes you think AOC got the job beause she's a woman?

MarmeeMarch · M

@QuixoticSoul I did not think that.

@MarmeeMarch I just reread this entire conversation, and I'm still lost 😂

I agree 100%, as a woman I would not vote for a candidate for being a woman,personally I think that is insane, I agree if they are male, female, black, white or green and if they have a proven track record and have some thought out ideas yes vote for them.@MarmeeMarch
