Bear with me for a second. Everyone is supposed to be ecstatic about the inauguration. But on all social media the response of even centrists was to relate to the Bernie meme. The guy is a soc dem at best but let’s be real here: the fact that there is so much grass roots support for him when even his milquetoast policies are roundly attacked on the major networks tells us something about how people are feeling when they’re being told to celebrate the best day ever. People are in despair. They can’t join in on the celebrations because they’re in a pandemic. It’s insane. And every centrist in the country knows it.

AOC “has that.” They know it. It’s why they’re trying to keep her at arms length and embrace her at the same time.

Nah. I don’t think she’ll be able to change much. I just think the democrats want to mellow her out for a presidential run.
