A real reckoning is coming to the Democratic Party.

I've been reading stuff from his organization's website, and this young man has the energy, vision, and attitude this party needs right now. We need more of AOC, Jasmine Crockett and yes, I'll say it, Bernie Sanders, and less of the stone cold silence we've been hearing for the past two months.

And, to blame ageism on AOC loss will never get us anyplace. She irritated many be thinking that she could turn things upside down to her ideas. Does not work this way.

I feel strongly that Pelosi needs to stay out of the discussion about the future of the party. Time and time again she's held us back, while promising wins, yet delivering losses.

Before the election: "Democracy hangs in the balance!"
After the election: "Nothing to see here. No need for any big changes."
