I’m confident AOC could raise an impressive amount of campaigning money as a single senator. But, impressive enough to account for an entire party, taking seats in thousands of positions across hundreds of local districts? Much as I’d like it, I don’t see how it can happen.
I’d also like it if campaign money wasn’t necessary, but 99% of America doesn’t actively follow politics; it’s needed to bring it to their doorstep. We’ve been covering the gap in things like Elon Musk’s campaign funds via a lot of volunteer work, but that can only go so far.
