I have a confession to make: In spite of my many misgiving about the Radical Leftists, Communists, Socialists, and the like, I find it strangely exciting to see AOC to be Bernies campaigning avatar. A live and energetic avatar at that.
I guess when voters feel unrepresented by the established politicians, they become more “open minded about trying out the new guy”. Or idea. Especially for those who don’t remember or know the history of the Communists, etc., and their associations. Even Trump might be increasingly looking like part of the “establishment” to some. Although continued outrageous behavior by the Left seems to be keeping Trump as looking like the only sane choice right now. Strong economy with decisively strong labor and equities markets doesn’t hurt either.
The establishment really needs to change their ways and lighten up on their corruption, cronyism, and continued assault on individual rights and privacy. Or they may be politically replaced. For a long time.
So maybe AOC can provide the energy in Bernie’s campaign that he is lacking, but in the final analysis, it would be still be Bernie for President if he were to win the nomination and beat Trump.
Biden seems overwhelmingly DOA to me. The optics of his recent interactions with outspoken voters does not sit well with those who are looking to feel represented.
