AOC inspires me [View all]

Listening to her comments over the past week, I remember why I admire her so much. I really believe that progressive Democrats who work within the party are one of our greatest strengths. I'm a boring old moderate, filled with thoughts of civil rights and equality, and I tend not to find any real policy disagreements between myself and Sanders and AOC and progressives in general. I have some tactical disagreements, however.

Anyway, every time I see her or hear her I am glad. I'm happy that she's in our politics and in our party. Even when we disagree on tactics and candidates!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
