This is an ACTUAL opinion piece from a major DC publication.
I know I'm playing with fire here, but I have to say it:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this happen!
Can you even IMAGINE the debates?
The opinion piece from Michael Starr Hopkins is one of the most embarrassingly obsessive article you'll ever read.
He is practically drooling over AOC for the entire thing.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is less of a personality and more of a movement. Yes, the smart, photogenic congresswoman is the face of the rising progressive movement, but she is also the future of the Democratic Party. AOC has cultivated a following beyond politics. She's an influencer in its purest form. Her ability to relate to her supporters and allow them a glimpse into her private life is a blueprint for Democrats trying to act less like mannequins and more like humans.
Oh, is he talking about her Instagram lives where she goes on insane rants while making dinner or drinking wine? This is the future of the Democratic Party?
Well, bring it on, I guess.
The simp at The Hill continues:
If Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is the Godfather, Ocasio-Cartez is Michael Corleone. As the architect of Medicare for All, a $15 minimum wage and numerous other programs that are now mainstream, Bernie's place in history has already been solidified. While Sanders may disagree with some of the progressives in his caucus, his worth carries major weight. Bernie passing the torch to AOC and recruiting her to run for president would be bold and would strengthen and solidify her base of supporters before she even gets out of the gate.
Bernie is the Godfather and AOC is Michael Corleone?
Does this dude really see Bernie handing the torch to AOC as the winning strategy for Democrats?
This might be my favorite line in the story:
AOC has the ability to tell the story of her generation. She's Barack Obama if Barack Obama was an actual progressive. I love Obama, but he was a moderate who sounded like a progressive.
The Left has become so radical that Barrack Obama is a moderate!
Of course, compared to Comrade AOC, Stalin might seem like a moderate Democrat.
Please Democrats, please run with the "we aren't radical enough" platform while people pay $5 for gas and inflation continues to skyrocket.
That's the ticket.
