If you really consider AOC to be the most popular young person in the party, then Democrats won't be winning national elections any time soon.

She will not convince most Americans, only far left progressives.

America needs a center left majority more than it needs a far left minority.
Gerry Connolly splits the difference, he's pretty left but not a fukn nutjob


America isn’t a center left nation. It shouldn’t have a center left majority in the House.

Connolly is a solid pick. I think it's actually a good pairing. He can do the elder statesman bit and she can really go after folks in hearings. She will have her chance, but I also very much see the argument that the old Dems need to get out of the way.


About half the time, she comes off really stupid.

+1 He’s in his 70s and battling cancer. It’s a mistake to put him in leadership. Both parties need to start promoting younger members into leadership roles.

That's disappointing. I like Connolly (who is my rep) but AOC was the better choice. I hope he is up to it.
