I get the appeal, but AOC simply doesn’t have the experience. She’s never been an executive.

doesn’t have the experience.

What counts as experience to you?

She grew in an all American background and pushed herself forward.

She cares and wants what is best for American people - maybe not for oligarchs!?!

Sorry, can you explain how she doesn’t have experience?

She’s never been an executive.

Again I am from the EU but : Since 2019 she has worked as the U.S. representative for New York's 14th congressional district.

Some of you people have an issue with Woman, gays, trans, whatever. I like people who are passionate and qualified.

(not GP, but am in US)

House Rep -> President is a somewhat uncommon jump for people to do. Usually, people spend time as Senator, Governor, or VP beforehand. Aside from our current president, the last person to be president without having done one of those roles first was Eisenhower, who never had an elected office before but did have a lot of experience in the military during WWII.

Also, in terms of age, she'd be the youngest president we've ever had, by several years.

I'd 100% support her for president, but she does objectively have less experience than your typical president, and that definitely will be used against her in a campaign.

Ok, I get what you are saying.

But look at the times we live in.

My point was that she would be a great president.

I am not from the USA, so I am being idealistic.

She and Sanders would actually Make Americans All Democrats MAAD?!?!

Can't think why I was never hired for their campaign. :)

Absolutely, I agree that she'd be great as president, I was just steel-manning the "she's inexperienced" argument.
