"What people desire in their leaders is authenticity and fight." Exactly. It's no more complicated than this.
Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Michelle Wu, Joe Neguse, Greg Casar, Brandon Scott, Gov Pritzker and to be joined by Zohran Mamdani come to my mind - the one who stands out is AOC - she works with everybody- she has no ego and she is not trying to outdo others - stands out!
