"After years of hard work and a lifetime of contributions, our seniors shouldn't have to worry about Republicans meddling with their Social Security," said one House Democrat.
We need to run an exciting candidate. Their race doesn’t matter. Elections these days are about getting your base excited and making the opponent’s apathetic. AOC is exciting. While her being a minority woman will piss off far right voters, it won’t be like it was with Hilary, who had decades of media attacks conditioning the right to absolutely despise her.
Really wish/hope that’s the case, but if there was an equivalent white guy, I don’t think I’d chance it. It might be that AOC is such an exciting candidate it overshadows any race/gender issues, and I’d love that, but I think a primary will help answer that. Maybe not even the winner, since who knows what the party will do to put their finger on the scale, but a primary will definitely show who’s energized the voters. Fingers crossed we get elections next go around.

I’m tired of this comment.
If we look for entertainers to become leaders, we get a trump. If we look for legislators, they’re not sexy.
If the populace needs a clown to vote for, then let’s stop messing about and secede already.
