Kamala Harris praises Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

33. No one did...

why do you think that is?

Do you think maybe it's because Obama came in with a certain sense of working with others and didn't immediately come in guns ablazing at his own side?

Apparently not, you think it's a male/female thing. Well, sorry, I don't. There are several outspoken women in Congress besides her who have not attracted the same attention or the same advice. Kamala Harris didn't come in with a ton of experience per se, but IMO she's light years more impressive and proven and she came in a manner that hasn't engendered the same reaction despite being both fairly far left and a woman who takes a back seat to no one. There are other examples.

AOC did not run a pitch perfect campaign. She certainly was way more hard-working than the incumbent who took his office for granted and got stung by doing so. She out-worked him. Which is good for her. Work ethic is important and beating your opponent by outworking them is something to be applauded and proud of.

But she didn't have some sort of amazing new way of campaigning. she hasn't figured out some new way. She caught an old guy resting on his laurels and beat him.

She's proven very little and I am sorry if I need to see a little bit more than you do before I consider her to have become a leader or someone who is at the forefront. Certainly there is potential there. At this point, that's it.
