    Nothing would delight me more than seeing her name on the ballot. We need more people like her and Mamdani in politics

        We got where we are through steady shifts to the right over the course of decades. As nice as it would be to just vote in who we need right now, getting 50% of the population to agree about who that would be is impossible.

        AOC may not be perfect, but she’d represent a first of (hopefully) many steady shifts to the left that will eventually get us where we need to be. Of course that’s if she even gets that far in the first place with how corrupt the system is. I’m not sure we’ll get the chance without truly fighting and dying for it.
