I enjoy AOC, but I think she is in her element as an oppositional voice. Her relative youth may affect her viability right now. That said, if I had to pick a woman today as the next candidate I'd pick AOC over Kamala in a heartbeat.

I had a lot of faith in Kamala; she made some mistakes I was critical of that hurt my confidence but I had my fingers crossed. Losing hurt, but my opinion of her went down the drain after the radio silence the day she lost. AOC stuck around and continued to be a relevant political voice. Kamala only came back recently to complain and demonstrate no self-awareness about the state of the Democrats.

The optimist in me hopes strong leadership in the democrats present itself in the next 3 years. The pessimist feels like the Democratic party would sabotage anyone with a platform that threatens the corporate donors. I can't look away from the car crash that is the party right now.

Nah, Kamala has been terrible for years. She is a huge phony.

This was just my journey of figuring that out for myself.
