She ought to a have a splendid political career.

Who's in charge of this operation? Who's calling the shots in this movement of his...him or her?

“A president can’t wave a magic wand and pass any legislation they want,” she said, adding that “the worst-case scenario” if Sanders is elected president is that Democrats “compromise deeply and we end up getting a public option.”

“Is that a nightmare? I don’t think so,” she added.

AOC growing up a little. Bernie not so much.

you think it's too early to welcome AOC to the Biden & Buttigieg health care plans that include a public option?

Or should we wait until after Bernie's people crucify her first for being an Establishment sellout to see if she survives it?

I'd hate to waste money on balloons and party hats in case she doesn't make it.

Maybe instead of wasting money on party stuff that may not be needed I'll instead buy "The Art of the Deal" and send it to Sanders. We know that Trump didn't write it and that Bernie never read it.

Or rather than give any royalties to Trump I could instead buy a copy of this...

Hooboy, sure looks to me like ol' Bern is 0-for-10 on those Carnegie lessons.

Good for her

does put her way ahead of Sanders. But she really needs to stop lying about Democrats and to break with dishonesty as a major strategy, or her district will eventually replace her.

The public option IS our Democratic plan that we intended to include from the beginning. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid had it studied and written and fought for two years to include and pass it. We would have passed the public option 3 years ago now if some very bad things hadn't happened in 2016 -- that she was part of.

So, lying that it would be a "deep" Democratic "compromise" is a huge insult and also a betrayal. We don't need another matured ruthless anti-Democratic Party liar, and certainly not a far more competent one.

We'll see eventually how much she wants to hold onto her seat and advance within congress. Sanders himself was corrupted into always-resentful compliance by his determination to keep his cushy job, but not interested in actually, you know, working and becoming effective. She may be different and evolve that way.

She's apparently a lot more pragmatic than I gave her credit for. Or she's learning quickly and adapting. Any or all would be good.

No question about it. A rookie looking at a great career....

foolishly, I might add. America will not elect a socialist, and a democratic socialist is still a socialist.

Sanders, who should know better after living in this country for nearly nine decades, had to find that out the hard way.

Twice.

There will be no magical voter revolution in the real world

Cisneros lost, and AOC learned a lesson: Down-ticket and coattails are a thing.

We need to get the Senate back no matter what. It’s not going to happen with Senator Sanders.

AOC is smart—she knows that her future isn’t with Bernie.
