Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez bashed former President Donald Trump throughout her speech at the opening night of the Democratic National Convention Monday, while highlighting Vice President Kamala Harris’ promises to working class Americans.
I don’t think she’s the devil. I didn’t watch all of them, but Shawn Fain and AOC did the best speeches I’ve ever heard from their careers. Hillary’s reminded me partially of why I didn’t like her. To each their own, I just dislike platitudes too much to support her. Her inference about progress also rang hollow to me, seeing how she was always almost the last in line from her party to support civil rights, famously gay rights. Big tent in this instance is a good thing, but I wouldn’t show up to watch her give a speech if the heavy hitters weren’t there.
