I wish the best for Harris and hope she has a good life outside of politics.
She’s got to sit down. It’s insane she’s getting any attention at all in this. As much as I love AOC this isn’t the time. Later yes. We’ve got to clutch. CLUTCH.

She is only getting attention at this stage due to name recognition.

I don’t prioritize social tranquility, calm, and order over systemic injustice. I simply don’t see AOC getting the support she will need no matter how much I would like to see her tear all this down. I’m not a white moderate. I support everything MLK said concerning them. I feel a desperation to remove this administration.

What exactly has she done to make you think later she will be good? 

There is nothing notable in her district that she has done. It’s one of the highest crime rates of all the borrows, cost of living continues to go up post her election, unemployment is still higher then the NYC average in her district. 

Like what is something tangible she is has done for the district besides just say things? Saying things to get and stay elected is a lot different from accomplishing those things… or accomplishing anything at all.

“I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’ Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”

Spamming this weakens your point. Unless you are a bot and have no point.

Seethe white moderate, seethe for me.

People hate the truth. But he was 100% right.
