    Okay, so question: Why, in two out of the last three election cycles, has the DNC put forward “utterly terrible politicians” as the party leader and candidate for the world’s highest office?

      Because a non-terrible candidate would do popular things they don’t want to do? What even is this question?

        So either AOC is a terrible politician or the DNC won’t push her.

          I mean it’s fucking obviously the latter? What’s even your point here?

            If it’s the former, why be excited, if it’s the latter, who cares?

              There is such a thing as forcing elites to make concessions. Not that I think Americans can or will do it, but it’s a thing.

          The DNC likely won’t push her, they’ll push Newsom or Harris (she’s already mentioned she’s thinking about running again)

            And they’ll say AOC shouldn’t run because a woman can’t win up until the very second Harris announces.

      Because if they can’t win with their corpo zombie zionist center-right candidate, they’d rather lose and play feckless controlled “opposition” than do anything to jeopardize their gravy train with a progressive.
