I don't need to give MAGA the benefit of the doubt anymore.

They lost that privilege years and years ago.

MAGA = American Taliban

In case anyone was still unsure.

Clinton / Harris did not lose because they were women.

Yes they did.

We elected a black man

He's a man.

There is a large swath of our populace living in the right geographical areas that will NEVER vote for a woman to be president. And that includes a lot of women. AOC will not win the Electoral College. Half the country wants to burn her at the stake for being too liberal. She can't reach those voters. She won't win.

Unlike Kamala and Clinton she actually believes in something, and not just the Dems’ very rich corporate donors.

And that is why she will fail.

Welcome to reality. Welcome to America.

We chose a felon rapist traitor over highly qualified women...twice. And those women were more qualified than AOC and more moderate. The further left AOC goes, the more voters she loses.

She won't win.

You are correct.

Anyone downvoting you is just ignoring reality.

There's a reason Trump has run 3 times and only lost once and it was to a man. A significant portion of this country in the right geographical areas will never vote for a woman to be president. And that includes a ton of women. And half of the country wants to burn AOC at the stake for being too liberal.

She can't win the Electoral College.

You want to get Bernied again? Vote for AOC.

You are, unfortunately, right.

because two of the worst female candidates ever lost.

One was a Senator, Secretary of State, and former first-lady. The other was a VP. AOC is just a member of the House and half the country wants to burn her at the stake for being so liberal.

She won't win.

Buttigieg is one of the better politicians I've ever seen. He's more well spoken than AOC. He's more prepared for questions. Calmer.

But this is America.

There's a very large swath of this nation in the right geographical areas that will never vote for a homosexual or a woman. Neither of them will win the Electoral College.

Hope you enjoy losing by not learning anything from the recent past.

Yup.

Our system is fundamentally broken, but the bottom line is Americans failed. It was entirely possible for us to stop all this and we chose not to. Shit electorates make for shit countries.

We're going to be circling the drain for the foreseeable future.

Don’t use idosynchroncies of our electoral collage be what determines what US is ready for.

Those idiosyncrasies are what made a felon rapist clown fascist win over highly qualified women...twice.

She won't win. Enough people in the right geographical areas are simply not ready for a female president and will happily vote for a fascist instead to prevent it from happening.

It's not a fluke that of the 3 times Trump has run, he has only lost to a man.

Welcome to America.

She’s a diamond in the rough.

True. But she won't win a presidential election.

Just passed the Senate by one vote. Back to the House for the finale vote, which is controlled by Republicans.

It's over fam.

You can kiss this nation goodbye.

Now hunker down for the suffering and death that's sure to follow.

This is what happens when you give conservatives power. Such a profoundly stupid nation of individuals.

Exactly.

Americans chose a felon rapist clown fascist over HIGHLY qualified women. Twice.

America is not even close to being ready for a female president.

If we want to lose again, run a woman. That's the shit reality in this shitty country.

Not to mention AOC is still "green". Clinton was a Senator, a Secretary of State, and ex-first lady. Kamala was a VP. AOC is just a member of the House.

People need to stop fantasizing and get real. It's also WAY too early to seriously be talking about this.

I don't understand what people aren't getting here.

The last two female candidates to run for president, who were extraordinarily more qualified than their opponent, were denied in favor of a felon rapist clown.

If that isn't proof that this nation is not ready for a female president, I don't know what is.

I voted for both those female candidates. I am not against a female president. But can we exist in reality for a moment and acknowledge that if we run AOC, we're going to lose, again? Because America isn't ready for that shit. You will not capture independents with a female candidate. You will not capture disenfranchised Trump supporters with a female candidate. You will not win. A mayoral race is not the same as a presidential race and Mamdani is a man and that's the country we live in.

Edit: Scroll through this comments section. This is a liberal sub. And even here it's 50/50 about AOC running for president. She won't win guys.

I'm down to call it whatever. No DoD funding means no adherence to their bullshit.

Fired it back up recently and went to one of the main hubs. There was a few other people running around, but it was pretty dead.

But yeah, the pre-cataclysm area was gorgeous at the time. The soundtrack is AMAZING. One of my favorite gaming experiences.

Half-Life 1

One mod specifically (Sven-Coop). Been playing almost daily since 1999.

I still fire up Duke 3d and Quake mods from time to time as well. There are lifetimes of user-made content in some of these older games.

The Balkanized States of America

CNP wants California to peacefully leave the union, but know that it may not be so peaceful.

California needs to create and fund a state militia. We need to convince Oregon and Washington to do the same and then have those militias train and work together.

The Constitution allows for militias. Not that the Constitution matters anymore. So we should do it anyway.
