    Interesting. ASSUMING all these words in the article aren’t hollow, many colleagues do support AOC. If it wasn’t for ol’ Nancy sticking her finger in the dike this may not have been too controversial.

    Problem is this reads, and probably is, a buying time sort of deal. To the old geriatric leadership AOC is a threat to how they do things. More importantly, like with Bernie, she’s a threat due to her supporters.

      She would have been a direct threat to them…

      That’s why instead they went with 74 year old with terminal cancer, he’s recently violated insider trading laws, he won’t go after Dems because they likely have dirt on him

      Like how a new cop has to participate in stealing money/drugs before the old cops will trust them.

      There has to be dirt both ways so you know they won’t snitch.

      AOC hasn’t participated, so they won’t let her into leadership roles, definitely not the Oversight committee

      There are a few words in this article I hope are entirely hollow

      [AOC] was pressed, for instance, on her support for primary challengers to fellow House Democrats during a Steering and Policy Committee meeting on Monday and promised to discontinue the practice.

      This is the exact wrong thing to be doing and not something she can compromise on
