Did he lose? I was wondering if he was up for re-election. That’s good.
By the way, my guess is AOC’s district is probably 15% over 55 years old. I’m guess The Bronx is a fairly young population. I’m not sure exactly where her district begins and ends. Continuing with assumptions, likely mostly minorities, probably low income, maybe many of them are immigrants, I wouldn’t be surprised if the percentage of college degreed residents are less than 10%. The people who elect her are not like most of the nation. Warren lives in the world of Academia. She worked her way up to her credit, but she definitely speaks to a “college” audience. To reach the masses you need to speak to an 8th grade audience.
Don’t get me wrong, a lot of us want a lot of the things AOC wants: equality, healthcare for all, higher wages,... I just would never use the word socialism to describe it, and neither would most Americans. Bernie said it and the media tried to explain it to keep him afloat. Just like the media tried to explain Defund the Police, but luckily a lot of well known Black politicians and commentators almost immediately called the wording a bad choice, but not soon enough. That ship has sailed. Biden is trying to convince Republicans he is not on board with it.
@cheebdragon Yes it is shocking! I have never seen anyone do anything like that at a workplace. I can’t imagine a peer at work calling me a fucking bitch to another coworker to my face or so that the world can hear it.
