I agree. Majority of Americans want big gestures by a hero that needs no effort from them. It was part of trump’s appeal. Big promises, day 1 he’d bring prices down and stop wars. They believed him. Only answer is education. Long term solution.

THIS! You nailed it. We’re seeing this play out with AOC and the enthusiasm with these big stadium rallies. I’m all for AOC and her work but can she motivate Americans to do more than show up at rallies and talk on social media about how she’s the one to save us? 🤷♀️

The difficult part is getting to the poorly educated. AOC appeals to the educated, especially those left leaning. They’re madly enthusiastic. What she’s saying won’t reach the majority. The ones who didn’t vote aren’t interested enough to listen to her, & lots wouldn’t understand what she’s saying.

Agreed. I'm also concerned about Bernie using this to promote Medicare for All right now. I'm no political science expert but can we start with saving Medicare and our democracy that's currently hanging by a fingernail off a cliff?

America won’t go as leftwing as Bernie in my lifetime, probably not yours. I’m worried that the enthusiasts will take the Democrats too far left. As you say, save your democracy, save your Medicare, get the Democrats elected and the rest will come in time.

That explains how Lauren Boebert rose to her position.

Yes. They probably thought, “Someone like me!”

Boebert is the poster child for that poster.
