Since going to Congress in 2018, Ocasio-Cortez has become the most high-profile Democratic Socialist after Sanders.

At just 30 years of age, she is part of the millennial demographic which powered Sanders’ revolution and the two have frequently appeared on the stump together.

If the Democrats lose the House and any of AOC’s krewe survives, they’ll be purged.

Bernie had no fight in him against Hillary and was the same against Biden. “Nobody care about your emails” was the end of his campaign against the Beast.

They will be sorely disappointed if they’re lookin’ for any leadership from that bunch. LARDERship maybe. I’ve seen lard with more skills than that gaggle.

Then the princess needs to hold a presser and CONNECT with her WOKE HIPSTERS and tell them to get the F out of the bars, the beaches, and ooze back to their “safe spaces” and stop spreading CV.

AOC and “The Squad” have no idea what the term “Leadership” means!

Dumb and Dumber!

I believe the constitutional requirement is 35 yrs old by inauguration day.

She'll be 35 on October 13, 2024.

MSM seems to have zero interest in pursuing that angle, can't imagine why that would be.
