Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

No. Run AOC
We don't "run" candidates. If you want someone else to run you need to speak with them.
Sorry if this seems pedantic but I'm getting tired of the language that suggests there's some sort of cabal deciding who does or does not run.
The reason a lot of people think that way, is that any truly progressive candidate isn't backed by the DNC.
Also, very recently, AOC was denied a seat at the table for a dying, cancer ridden old white guy. Granted, it wasn't a spot in an election, but her own party looked the other way for a leadership role.
What does committee seats have to do with running for office?
It speaks to who party leadership wants wielding power.
Yeah, but committee seats are where the establishment has explicit power. It's easy to connect establishment whims with that very same establishment electing their choice. It's a huge stretch to extend that to them dictating the votes of millions of people.
Or it speaks to the "norms" that Democrats slavishly adhere to.
AOC is relatively a junior member of Congress. I disagree with the "norms" nonsense in this day and age but the point is that not every action has a deeper meaning and those who keep parroting this belief have clearly never worked with a large number of people before.
It's a litmus test for bigger things.
