In The End, Emrata May Be The Only Woman Who Can Be POTUS

One of the conundrums of a modern woman trying to run for public office is they have to be totally, completely sexless. They’re not permitted, in any way, to show any skin in a traditional feminine way.

So, as such, it’s possible that every major female politician will rise up through the ranks, only to be destroyed because bikini pics — or whatever — pops out. Which makes you wonder, maybe the only way a woman can ever become POTUS is if her no0ds are already baked into the cake.

Maybe, then, 30 years from now, only someone like Emily Ratajkowski can successfully run for POTUS because, lulz, we’ve already seen her n0ods so it’s all a lulz.

Or not. Who knows. But I do know that it’s very annoying that otherwise qualified women will be prohibited from going up the chain of political command just because their n0ods leaked.

I will note, again, that AOC is a smoking hot babe and it’s kind of surreal that to date we have not see ANY bikini pictures of her. Anyway. I hope they don’t ever leak so she has a decent shot of being POTUS one day.

AOC is something of a liberal-progressive firebrand, and, as such, extremely divisive. She’s divisive to the point that the case could be made that given how young she is, she should sit 2024 out to give herself time to mature and to earn the right to run for such a high office as POTUS.

She’s so young that she has plenty of time to become a New York Senator and then position herself to run for higher office.

But there’s a problem — a huge problem.

Macro forces are at work such that 2024 could be a battle royale. It could be a political pitched battle between the autocratic fascism of the Republican Party and an alliance of pro-democratic forces that find themselves under the rubric of the Democratic Party. And, sadly, Joe Biden is so old and eager to work with his good, good friends in the Republican Party who now happen to be fascist, that he’s just not up to the task at hand.

It would be much better, given the stakes of the 2024 election, to have a young, progressive firebrand like AOC as the leader of the Democratic Party as the United States careens towards the existential choice of autocracy or civil war. She would be just the fresh blood needed in case things went really south and we found ourselves with a REAL Stop The Steal effort in late 2024 – early 2025.

And, in all honesty, given how radical the Republican Party is now, having a fighter who appeals to the base of the Democratic Party is probably a lot more useful in 2024 than someone who might appeal to those mysterious 100,000 people across five swing states that decide each modern election.

I don’t agree with AOC on everything — I’m a moderate, if radical moderate, but I admire her spunk and her youthful frame of mind.

As such, for the time being, at least, I think AOC is the best candidate for the Democratic Party in 2024.

She’s (Probably) Running — The Case For AOC 2024

I really admire AOC’s spunk. She’s not perfect — she is apt to be a bit too earnest and divisive at times — but she’s the center-Left’s future. But the news that she’s engaged just as a few years before her 35 birthday in October 2024 definitely makes one wonder what she’s up to.

The case could be made that two years would be just enough time for her to get married and squeeze out one politically necessary baby before she turns around and runs for POTUS in 2024.

Her doing so would be, on one level, be rather audacious and jaw dropping. In our current geriatric anocracy, someone just barely old enough to be president in the first place running for the office is a sight to see.

One thing to consider — should Republicans win Congress in this year, which seems inevitable, then it’s very possible that the GOP will go nuts and impeach both Biden and Harris more than once. This, given Biden’s advanced age, might open a political opportunity for AOC to be a dark horse candidate.

And, what’s worse, the election of 2024 could very well be one big old clusterfuck. Steve K. Bannon’s spiritual shock troops do his administrative coup and we have a Certification Crisis…well, AOC is just the type of passionate leader America would need at that point.

Or put another way, all signs point towards late 2024 – early 2025 being a massive fucking clusterfuck. A train wreck. There could be coups, counter-coups and rumors of civil war. Whatever happens, I suspect AOC will be at the forefront of it all.
