Her rallies with Bernie Sanders are helping. We might be seeing a realignment beginning in our politics. We've got the democratic socialists and the Republicans have MAGA. The democratic socialists aren't too far removed from the mainstream of the party. They can be absorbed by the Democratic Party. The MAGAts, however, are a destructive force and they aren't well-acquainted with reality. I think the GOP might split. If the conservatives (non-MAGAts) leave the GOP, some of them might become Democrats. But if the liberals compromise with the dem. socialists, the party might move too far to the left for the conservative Republicans. It's going to be interesting. What will probably happen is the Democrats will share some power with the conservatives and the cons will water down any progressive legislation. But that's the art of compromise.

when AOC started her political career, I knew she was going to make something of herself. We shall see where this goes.

Google Chevalier's comments and posts. I do not think there was good vetting on her. I don't know about Valdez. Very disappointed that Mamdani endorsed Chevalier. She did say she regrets her posts and they have been taken down. Great. All forgotten bc she "regrets" them.
