Her voters had the option of a more sane Democrat in the primary. Not a Republican. So TDS doesn't quite explain it. And I have often seen AOC heckled by some of her left-wing constituents for being a "warmonger" and supporting Israel. So she even pisses off the left in her district. She kept Amazon out and cost the district thousands of jobs. That's why I don't get it. Maybe the voters are not directly getting paid, but make no mistake, it is still "fixed" in the form of dark money behind her campaigns and other Democrats' campaigns. She's also probably got the union footsoldiers out casting their votes.

It's true that when Trump went to the Bronx, to AOC country, he got a great response from the black and Latino crowd. I don't know what to tell you. I hear mainly praise from the progressives I know. This is just my personal experience. It could be wrong. But I think the Dems are afraid of any kind of change at the moment. It's got to be Biden, or doom will befall the planet. As far as dark money, you're probably right.

Good. I really, really want the Dems to stick with Biden all the way to November.
