In reply to the discussion: AOC Says She'll File Articles Of Impeachment Amid SCOTUS 'Corruption Crisis' [View all]H2O Man
(77,624 posts)You make valid points. And I enjoy talking with you.
One of the things that I've thought is that a lot of people underestimate the younger generation. I suppose that has beehn going on since even before I was a young person. I afmit that I am not totally objective, because my four children are all very intelligent, and have grown up on political & social activism. Three out of the four Love AOC, while the other can lst every error in speaking she has made while in office.
Though we are a tiny Democratic Party on a republican shirt in rural upstate NY, all four have worked on various candidates' campaigns. Two have run for local office -- small community, I know -- with the one who isn't an AOC supporter winning 545 to 5. My older daughter, who until recently lived in Boston -- worked at a law office on immigration, taught part-time at the college, and worked for the MA attorney general -- is a big AOC supporter.. When she got married a couple of weeks ago, before moving to Europe, a lot of her friends came. At the reception, it reminded me of when I used to speak at regional colleges and universities. They are very intelligent people, registered as either Democrats or independents.
They do not see AOC as a "savior" -- an odd term, I think, in the context of this discussion. They do see her as a much more attractive politician, capable of motivating younf adults to participate in politics, than the majority of politicians they view asbumps on a log.
