11. In my opinion he should do the honorable thing.

He should not run for re-election. We need leaders who are willing to accept the fact that the old I'll scratch your back, if you scratch my back isn't going to work anymore. The Republicons are a 100 percent more likely to stab you in the back than scratch it. I think a part of him knows that, but I also think he's too polite to go for the jugular when necessary.

It's clear AOC doesn't suffer from the same issue. She's not afraid to speak out against the Magats forcefully when necessary.
