    Because they know AOC + Harris will be way too scary for the “pathetically insecure white dudes” demographic.

      Which sadly means swing states. And is where the election is truly won. AOC isn’t going to help and potentially hurts.

        Exactly. I’m not always the biggest fan of conventional political wisdom, but in this case I think it’s fair to say that getting most of America to vote for a black woman will already be a pretty big deal, and move the needle forward significantly.

        And Kamala doesn’t need AOC to appeal to younger and more left wing voters. She’s already pretty far left of her party on most issues, and has the record to prove it.
