Okay, so question: Why, in two out of the last three election cycles, has the DNC put forward "utterly terrible politicians" as the party leader and candidate for the world's highest office?

    Because a non-terrible candidate would do popular things they don't want to do? What even is this question?

    So either AOC is a terrible politician or the DNC won't push her.

    Because if they can't win with their corpo zombie zionist center-right candidate, they'd rather lose and play feckless controlled "opposition" than do anything to jeopardize their gravy train with a progressive.
