    thats what’s wild to me. even if you’re a complete cynical ghoul like she is, surely you’ve gotta recognize that if you’re a 34 year old politician you’ve got fuckin lifetimes ahead of you. plural lifetimes. american politicians don’t stop till they literally melt into a damn puddle in the floor. how the hell do you lack the foresight to recognize that gluing yourself to joe biden like this is going to be detrimental eventually?

      I think she knows something that we don’t. Most likely, the argument over Biden’s candidacy is essentially settled already by the Democrats and the plans to purge the people disloyal to Biden are already being drawn up. I think AOC has also made the political calculation that if she somehow loses her seat, she’ll never regain it back.
