You know who I'd like to see lead the Dems? Sheldon Whitehouse.

Hell, I'd like to see him in the Whitehouse. It's rare to hear BS coming from him.

The Bern hasn't deviated in his messaging for decades. AOC helped create some of the litmus tests that turned off some potential Harris voters as too Progressive. I have no doubt she can find her voice - perhaps moderate her image - with the anti-oligarch message.

I wonder if this isn't more message testing than hijacking.

Terrific analysis. I'm baffled at why Jeffries and Schumer aren't doing the same thing. They are after all in leadership positions. But are not they are not showing any leadership. Booker's speech or filibuster while largely symbolic is an attempt of some kind of leadership.
