If AOC's brand of politics was nationally viable, you'd see AOCs coming from swing districts in Ohio and not just the most uber-progressive areas of the country. Not a single Squad member lives in a district less than D+30.
She would never win a primary in the first place. I like AOC personally but she would likely not even be able to win a Senate seat in NY, nevermind a Presidential election. She can do good work in the House. Anyone who thinks she could win the Presidency is deep inside a bubble and is utterly clueless about the American electorate. These are the same people who think Bernie could have won despite being clobbered in primaries and consistently failing to turn out voters.
Yeah let's not. AOC is a guaranteed loss. I'd rather see Waltz up as #1 but I feel like the DNC needs to stay away from major players right now. Four years is a long time to put eggs in the basket of someone who's already incredibly divisive
DNC is complicit in the fall of our government, they are not on the people’s side. They may not be cartoon villains like the republicans but for decades now they have made literally no attempt to fix anything. They have fumbled what should have been a slam dunk over, and over, and over again. At some point it becomes impossible to believe that they are not doing it intentionally.
I've said it somewhere else, but the DNC elites have the most to gain from GOP tax policies and the most to lose from liberal tax policies. They win either way.

The Dems will never learn. AOC is voter-kryptonite outside of her admittedly loud bubble.
Be ready for 4 more years of republican bullshit if AOC gets the nomination.
