AOC is passionate but dumb. To her credit, she comes prepared and comes to fight. Early on, she blitzed her lazier opponents and just ran them over. That's not going to work anymore. She's not a good public speaker and anytime she talks about the economy, she will begin to terrify people on the national level. She'd make a better prosecutor than a career politician.
She would get torn apart in any debate cycle. To get the DNC nomination in 2024, they will have to hand it to her.
She doesn't come from old money nor political legacy, she's going to have to marry into more power.
I wouldn't let AOC even open a checking account for me. It's not because she used to be a bartender, it's because she's dumb and says dumb things. You get a limited window of opportunity in politics to impress the public and she doesn't do it consistently enough.
She's the embodiment of "The Jason Wood Principle" - If you keep screaming things at the top of your lungs, some people will be convinced you know what you are talking about, without realizing they are wrong.
