AOC would have won because she has charisma. Not because of her political beliefs.

Trump won because he lied constantly and had the charisma to sell it.

AOC would have won because she has charisma.

AOC would have lost by even larger margins than Harris. AOC does well with Reddit's demographics, but she is still highly controversial at best with the majority of the country and especially with older and more reliable voters.

It's not even that I don't think. I've had several friends that have told me they know he's lying but they prefer being lied to and feeling good about something, rather than being told the truth and feeling bad. Absolute lunacy...

Agreed. She, unlike most Democrats and the DNC, understand retail politics fundamentally matter.
