Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks truth to power. She’s 28. It’s resonating with young voters. This is long overdue.

Bernie can say the same words but it doesn’t ring as true with the voters we need to turn out. Same with Elizabeth Warren. Same with Joe Biden.

This probably sounds like age discrimination and you’d be right about that. It is. There’s just no denying the fact that it’s time to pass the baton to a younger, more representative/diverse group of leaders. It’s their future. My parents’ generation had its turn which is why we need these octogenarians to fade off into the sunset.

OAC is too young to lead the party but she can be extremely effective as its messenger until perhaps one day her time comes.
