She deserves a shot at the White House. I’m not interested in arguments about how she needs more experience or other reasons to put it it off. Obviously not to compete with Biden. But she is my post Biden top choice.
I wish only that she wouldn’t attack members of her own party that aren’t in full alignment on all of her hot-button issues. There are Dems holding seats in districts where they are barely beating their Republican rival, and may not have AOC’s luxury of being full-throated on all of the issues. I’m not asking her to defend pedophiles in her ranks (as the Republican party does), but just… not try to tear them down and allow their Republican rival to beat them.
Her inability to work with moderates in the party - at least in the press - is not a strength.
I wish more progressives would speak out against moderate positions within the democratic party. While it might hurt election chances against Republicans, the democratic party has a long history of vamping to progressive issues and then walking them back when it’s time to vote.
