Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would truly make a good President.

If it is not progressive, it will be conservative. Most Americans want fundamental change, which why moderates are no longer electable. They're fed up being given the promise of change and the false hope of change, only for their elected official to do more of the same. If it is not progressive, it will be conservative.

On META, they're already talking about people like Ivanka Trump running for President. Kamala Harris being a woman is not what stopped people from voting for her (IN - before some says race was, and while that unfortunately was true for some, the majority couldn't care, thankfully).

The point, some of you are missing, is that most people want something more from their government than what they are getting now. They want to feel like their government is actually governing. They want to see that change in their lifetime, and not just be told their grandchildren may or may not benefit from it.

Will Donald Trump give them that? Oh, I have no doubt he will give us change that will impact millions in the here and now, but I know it will not be good change. But so many were looking for something different, that they were willing to take that risk. That is how big the need is for change. This is the picture some in political circles are not understanding. Business, as usually, is not what many Americans want, and they were willing to turn a blind eye and take a risky gamble, to avoid the status quo.

And if things don't work out, they'll try again. They have a lifetime of the same "snake oil" from the same type of people, and they're not going back. Kamala Harris at least got that right.

If it is not progressive, it will be conservative. America will either go left or go right.

Personally, I'm hoping for a left turn, else things will get much worse, and I don't blame all the voters. I blame everyone who stood in the way, whenever we had the chance to do so. In this, I am not alone.
