Joy Reid on AOC loss to Connolly

[LilElf70]

71. I've said it hundreds of times

If something does not change, change will not happen, and we will never win again. The "same old, same old" is obviously no longer sufficient.

AOC is a fighter for progressive democratic policies. Fortunately, she will not go away. One day, people will wake up and realize that ideas like healthcare for all, removal of Citizens United, etc, are smart ideas. Instead we send billions to other countries, and borrow to save our own asses. That's not a good financial picture. Nor is it smart.

After all, the first 3 words in the constitution are "We the people". Being the richest country on the planet, just when in the hell are we going to take care of our own people? I fear it will not be in my lifetime, but it has to start sometime. I say, the sooner, the better for everyone.
