        No… Don’t you see?

        No matter how centrist or moderate democratic candidate is, the Republicans call them communist, socialist pedophiles.

        They’ve painted themselves into a corner. We could nominate a full-on Marxist flag-burner, and they would have nothing left to say about them that they didn’t already say about Obama and Biden.

          Let’s be fair, Nancy P is about as much a back slapping old school politician as you can get, and AOC fell in line to her leadership. AOC and the squad haven’t been as left as promised

            AOC pulls the party to the left with her rhetoric, and then lends her support to strengthen the party as a whole.

            In this political environment, when the opposition is literally a fascist cult, it’s great that she’s being a team player.

            Also when she eventually does run for president, she won’t have alienated the party.

            She has handled it perfectly.
