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.
