Important clarifying thread from @jbouie. He notes that it would be good if folks read what AOC said rather than hear something else. Why she never gets credit for her work is a factor of misogyny +racism. But she is 100% right that we should be focusing on Democrats not GOP.

It is significant that Kamala Harris worked on bills with her they co-sponsored. One of the critiques of Harris when she was running for POTUS was that she was too left. And her Senate ranking is in the top three. My endorsement of Harris was because of her progressive policy.
Being a progressive senator is not a bad thing. @KamalaHarris's LIFT proposal is something I reported on in depth and it was far more progressive and far reaching than any other anti-poverty program and would radically add to Black wealth by raising people into the middle class.
It was pushback against Kamala Harris's #M4A plan and being the 1st co-sponsor of the #GND that led GOP talking points to frame her candidacy. We can't keep letting the GOP redefine our narrative. We have KDH as VP now. AND her smart progressive policy ideas. Let's embrace that.
