In reply to the discussion: Should we just hand control of the Party over to AOC? [View all]Trenzalore

Being able to reach people outside legacy media is critical to any political operations future success. So bashing the followers on social media isn't a strong talking point.
As for AOC,.from what I understand the speaker emeritus played a large role in interference with her ambitions. I appreciate everything the speaker emeritus has done, but she stepped down as leader and should have relinquished her seat. This isn't ageism. She could have been 55 when she did this and I would have the same opinion. The speaker emeritus needs to let minority leader Jeffries run the show and enjoy her retirement.

'Young people went hard for Donnie' is not a factual claim when they are measured in toto.
