(296,810 posts)the audio wasn't that good for me and hard to understand everything she said.
But, I could still tell she handled it well as a teaching lesson.

And she did so admirably. I'm sure she wasn't able to expound on a lot of points, but portraying herself as a listener was an incredible act. She remains a super long shot in this primary with two white dudes with the full backing of money.

(8,311 posts)Rather glad she's continued to highlight and attack Republican and Libertarians, even with the current debate about Welder getting press ATM.
Instead of going low, she specifically chose to have her campaign highlight her verbally asskicking someone who deserved it and not a fellow Dem, even if he's getting attention right now. All of her attack Tweets have been against the Republican incumbent and/or Trump.
The much smarter route for her campaign.

I think AOC is getting bad advice.

Time to "give back" to him even though he literally has no other accolades than running campaigns.
Sharice Davids was a White House Fellow (basically a years long paid intern for the White House), with a very unique and interesting background that can provide a unique perspective.
