      @@ianalan4367you are dead wrong! She is supporting him because he has done more progressive policies than any other democrat. Don’t try to knock her, plus she knew he was the nominee and do not want for the orange mango to have a reason to take it to court when he does not win.

      “Oh God,” AOC said. “In any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party, but in America, we are.”
      “I will be damned if the same politicians who refused to act then are going to try to come back today and say we need to find a middle-of-the-road approach to save our lives. That is too much for me,” Ocasio-Cortez said, after Reuters had reported that Biden was crafting a “middle ground approach” to combating the global threat.

    Whenever I see AOC talking and hearing her arguments, I cannot help thinking how much of a role model for politicians she is. If all politicians in the world would be like her, the world would be an incredibly better place. Keep up the good work. I am an observer from Austria.
