29. "Uncertain" only if AOC herself says so

I agree with most of the other replies--this piece seems gratuitous and uncalled for, unless AOC herself is rethinking her career. Any bright, young politician does need to think about what has just happened and whether or not it makes sense to keep hitting her head against the brick wall of what can become an intractable, calcified autocracy. Dictatorships have a way of wearing down the best of opponents. AOC has most of her life ahead of her (hopefully). We each get one life, and it goes by fast. But unless AOC herself has said anything to the contrary, it's not up to the Hill to decide what her future looks like.
