    I hate to say “I told you so,” but AOC very obviously should have been tapped for this position from the start. It shouldn’t have taken a 75-year-old man receiving a second cancer diagnosis for the party to see that. But at the very least, Democrats now have a second chance to do the right thing—the smart thing, the thing that people who actually want to win would do…

    embrace the hate. I sure as hell do everytime some geriatric dnc cryptkeeper dribbles out another excuse as to why the party has not pushed the next generation forward.

    best make sure the yunguns are put forward with the supporting collective knowledge of the dnc corpses still able to gurgle out historical advice and experience. whatever happens, those who will inherit this mess will need to consider options and make the decisions from now on.

      And they won’t. They would bring in a dusty skeleton long before they ever give progressives a chance.

    Get the dinosaurs out of the party. Now.

    I’m not sorry about it anymore. No one should be. The country is falling apart because these people have all the resources and use them to make shitty decisions to empower themselves more, despite being so old that they’ll never even see the return on their greed. Vote them out. We need progressives.

      Feel free to go do what needs to be done. They’re slow.

    That was the plan all along, make sure AOC loses. The democrat party is complicit with the evils of the current regime and they have no intention of letting anybody do anything about it.

      Apparently not. The article updated some time after your comment, and now she’s decided not to go for it. I guess it is possible for dinosaurs to take a hint, after all.
