And let’s be honest. Even if AOC did run, white people aren’t going to vote for her. We know this because white people have an unbroken trend of voting for the most high profile bigot in national elections since Eisenhower. White people *always* vote for racist white men. Always.

All this is to say it’s better to just ignore white people trying to get sanctimonious about the possibly of AOC as a candidate. Until they deal with the rot in their own communities that enthusiastically supported a racist pedophile to be president twice, there is nothing to talk about.
