There was considerable sadness on some leftist blogs because AOC was not eligible to run for president in 2020 (she was too young). But she will be 35 before Election Day in 2024.
So she’s good to go.
AOC was the mouthpiece for a progressive male intellectual.
Now that he’s out of the picture she ‘talks progressive talking points’ - and that’s NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN BIDEN READING CARDS PUT IN HIS HANDS OR THE WORDS FLASHED ON A TELEPROMPTER.
