I'm glad she said all of this.
@aoc.bsky.social's presentation of uncertainties and (especially) legal risks, and her openness about what she might not know, is *really* thorough. Its a healthy 360˚.
Yeah. Not on “IG” since, you know, Zuckerberg. Oh. He won’t let anyone not on it see it.
She’s such a bad ass. I remember when she was voted in & people like my centrist Dad thought she was too idealistic & didn’t have it in her to become a power house. I said “Just wait. She’s smart & passionate. She’ll figure it out & she’s going to be amazing.” Now she’s his favorite as well.
I've been asking for weeks why if there was a "better" or different Democratic candidate than President Biden then why didn't they step out in 2021-2023? It's quite late in the game to change horses.
I trust AOC*, and the no plan, legal issues, Harris not the agreed replacement, that this isn’t grassroots, plus Biden’s strengths make me more entrenched on Biden *y’all need to admit if she was “old” that would be described as rambling, repeating herself, distracted, staring off into space lol

yeah, good to hear that all from her, which is kind of been the position of a bunch of bsky people @proptermalone.bsky.social in particular(but me as well), but the obvious lack of a default to go to Harris and no real plan to pick someone in Open Convention and face down legal issues...
