AOC will be the first female President. I can feel it in my bones.

A president who even just acknowledges healthcare as a right would be huge

[browneyedguuurl]

Medicare 4 all, Green New Deal, rent control, $15 mw... so many great policies that would help millions.

I really, really wish Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a better handle on race. I find her attempts at talking about race shallow at best, and at worst intellectually dishonest. From her claim that reparations be about class (when talking to Ta-nehisi Coates) to her insistence that Latinos are Black (yes girl, the Black Latinos are Black), she just consistently fails to properly contextualize issues of race and racism.

Yikes. Didn't know all that. Hopefully sometime can collect her.

Dinner learning that white human traffickers got huge reparations when they were forced to'free' their Black captives, my view on reparations has shifted.

Wholeheartedly agree. Also her whole thing with braiding her hair making her closer to her African roots was terrible

[nomoneyfun]

Sigh. I remember that. She also did that thing where she talked about how she was a descendant of Jews who had to flee from Spain at a Hanukkah event. She repeatedly does the liberal over-identification with minority groups and uses ancestry claims as shorthand for identity. As if it's not bad enough when white people do it, It's so insidious coming from a Latina. She really should know better.

[analievelyn]

Damn. Didn't know they filmed stuff so far in advance

[brokecouture]

Keith should have been the head of DNC smh

Never forget Obama coming out of the woodwork to endorse Perez for the job during their race and dooming the party to even more ineffectual corporate centrism.

i know he's married and they're both professional so it's irrelevant BUT they had such sexual chemistry!! maybe they're both just charming and attractive but idk I could see it. they enjoy each other's company and it shows.
