I am going to say this once. I’ve said it before and will brook no argument about it. Ocasio-Cortez is the best young politician on either side. She is learning, but she has a great feel for how the game is played. She has done nothing wrong. Warren hasn’t either.
Warren doesn’t bring anyone to Sanders who isn’t already inclined to be with him. The political choice, as I said, is to bide her time and trade her later endorsement for power. Ocasio-Cortez is aware of this. I’m sure Sanders is. Many of you are not.
Warren is doing the politically smart thing, something she did not always do in the campaign. Ocasio-Cortez is keeping her powder dry for a natural ally in the Senate. This is politics.
And if you ask how I can praise what Ocasio-Cortez has accomplished—someone always does—you aren’t thinking hard enough.
