The fact that he was a relative newcomer and not a career politician also worked. You can look no further than Trump in '16 for the same effect.
People wanted the somewhat well-spoken black man novelty over the wicked witch. There wasn't much to pull off, tbh.

Yup. Which is why AOC will be a horrible candidate if she ever decides to run for president. She's only 31 and she's already being demonized at ridiculous levels. Her ceiling is a senator or a cabinet position to another president. Maybe vice president.
AOC boisterous and confrontational persona is just not a good fit with the current Democratic field. It's funny, because if she were a Republican, I'm almost sure she would fit the mold just right of the current incarnation of the GOP.
Hope so
Im the driver of the Michael Obama 2024 bandwagon
She's as delusional as they come. With her comments about being ignored or cutoff by affluent, snobby white women. Earth to Mic e, they do that sh1t to all of us no matter what your color, you damn race baiter![]()
I can think of more delusional people.
ooga booga
I think she would be a wonderful candidate. She is one of the rising stars of the democratic party and is seen as a leader of a wing of the democratic party with millions of voters. We need more people like her who will call out the bull within her party when she sees it. The elder statesmen of the DNC have been scared to push the envelope for far too long. I don't know about you but I'm tired of seeing Republicans bullying their way around the Dems. AOC is restoring the feeling of when Democrats used to grab their nuts and and not bow down to crazy ass conservatives. Hopefully Biden doesn't ignore the people who got him in office and cater to moderates and right leaning democrats. I want some progressives in his cabinet.
...and we should care because?
