AOC and the political order

2019-01-22 18:43:35.129079+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Rolling Stone: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Crusher of Sacred Cows:

The average American politician would lose at checkers to a zoo gorilla. They’re usually in office for one reason: someone with money sent them there, often to vote yes on a key appropriation bill or two. On the other 364 days of the year, their job is to shut their yaps and approximate gravitas anytime they’re in range of C-SPAN cameras.
