That was a great and insightful message. We need some morale boosters right now and AOC brings it on.

Thanks for posting that one, Autumn. I am so glad I didn't miss it.

It's the thesis that emotions are not just in our brains but also in parts of our bodies and their locations are expressed in language through familiar metaphors. Our spleens contain anger, our guts, intuition, responsibility resides in the shoulders, and courage is in our hearts, which is, not coincidentally, where we also find love.

Just look at his ads -- they're all about fear, fear, fear. Fear the immigrant. Fear the Chinese. Fear your neighbor.

Don't be a coward like Trump. Be a champion. Be a hero. Be a voter.

I'm moved and inspired and full of hope again. Perfect rally speech right when we needed it. They will only win when we stop doing the right thing.

But if I had Mike Bloomberg's money, I'd find a way to put it on TV.

AOC is a powerhouse. We are in good hands when we have people like her representing us.

Not even a small but significant percentage of Americans. The whole world is scared! We won't be out of danger until the day he walks out of the WH and into the waiting arms of whatever law enforcement agency performs the arrest.

Hopefully the haters, several who don't even live in this country, won't shit on this thread!

Bernie supporter in 2016, but voted for Biden in the primary here in Michigan.
