I 100% back AOC and our rising progressive wing, but we're not going to get 434 more of her into the House. We do need to interact with those who oppose us, and if someone slightly palatable like Steve Schmidt says the occasionally reasonable thing, it's ok to agree with him, without harping on "but remember when he...?" stuff every single time.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
