AOC is like... how to say this? I'll try it this way: When I was a kid, I'd just fall in love with certain baseball players. So yes, I love AOC in that way. She's a rock star. She's always amazing me. She takes words right out of my mouth on a regular basis.

But I do think this is all okay. Kamala gets vetted early. We find out she doesn't have presidential timber. I think this is just fine.

But there IS a bigger problem here.

The Biden administration as a whole is beginning to show signs of cracking. Bending to the will of conservatives.

Because Democrats don't know how to play the game.

There is no way, no chance, no how, that her message, poorly delivered as it was, didn't come from the top.

This country, if it wanted to, could easily afford to let in 50 million people. But there are too many people in MY demographic who are batshit crazy and somehow afraid of 50 million more new people with dark suntans.
