I won't argue with anything you said, and you could well be right. However, the alternative is to be another sit in the corner, speak only when spoken to, toe the line party drone. The Dems already have to many of them, and it could be argued their inaction helped put Donald Trump in office when they deferred to Hillary Clinton being the party's standard bearer back in 2016. While I positively hate regurgitating the election, but as much as the GOP caught all kinds of holy hell, were ridiculed and made a national laughingstock for having too MANY candidates, the Dems were never called on the carpet or questioned for having too FEW. I suspect there had been more than the handful of candidates who ran back then, but they stayed on the sidelines, letting Hillary run almost unopposed (save for Bernie Sanders) because of some ridiculous notion that it was "Her time". At least that was how I read the situation. Perhaps the Dems need a few rabble rousers like AOC to stir the pot, not to the level of the Tea Party of course, but adding a few hard chargers to wake up and energize the party.

Personally if Warren were to run she's have my vote and then some.
I don't get this.
The GOP controlled the entire government for the last two years.
Why now to start with this wall fiasco? Couldn't they have done it sooner?

Here's a fun story to lighten the mood.

They just ran the short "What's Coming Up..." for the local news.
Looks like the police may have been called to Kelly's Trump Tower apartment. It's getting to where "Depressing" is running neck and neck with "Weird".
Since a lot of the regulars are FNC(well, it was actually their "Business" network) side steppers, I took a look through that article when I posted the link yesterday. Even for that guy, it was seriously out of touch.
While a little bit of it got coverage, Warren did look really amazing in every single clip that I saw. Her telling the crowd not to shout down a woman who was seeming bringing up a "Pro-Life" point was impressive. She really did seem like she could put a legit run together even though folks are trying to say otherwise when you take a look at the cable news outfits.

One other AOC bit that is seemingly on the "Comics" end of things. Looks like she might be quoting Rorschach...

Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez Quotes Watchmen in Response to CriticsEarly Friday morning, an article on Politico suggested that the House Democratic Caucus was "exasperated" with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the newest representative from New York's 14th District. This led to a response on Twitter from Latino Victory Fund President Cristobal J. Alex where he noted, "Let me try and save folks some time here. You cannot rein in Latinas. They rein you in. #YearOfTheLatina #FutureIsLatina"
Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez retweeted Alex's comment and added "To quote Alan Moore: “None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with YOU. You're locked up in here with ME.”
GoFundMe "Trump Wall" campaign to refund all donors after falling short of $1 billion goal
Damn I was rooting for these idiots. Wonder if they didn't get their checks today because of the trump shutdown?
You thought they were fussy when they made those donations. Wait until they get them back.
