“Dems ran her. Now, dems will have to take her down.”
Actually, anyone can run under any party name. The Republicans didn’t want David Duke to run under their banner. He did anyway. The Democrats didn’t want Bernie to run under their banner either. He did anyway. AOC is accelerating the Dems transformation from a powerful organization to a footnote in history.
After reading some US political history from the 1840-80 period one can see that it takes a silver bullet, a stake through the heart, burning at the stake and dismemberment to kill the Demon party. And that might not be enough.
