    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Biden’s Win, House Losses, and What’s Next for the Left

    Is there a universe in which they’re hostile enough that we’re talking about a Senate run in a couple years?

    I genuinely don’t know. I don’t even know if I want to be in politics. You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn’t even know if I was going to run for re-election this year.

    Really? Why?

    It’s the incoming. It’s the stress. It’s the violence. It’s the lack of support from your own party. It’s your own party thinking you’re the enemy. When your own colleagues talk anonymously in the press and then turn around and say you’re bad because you actually append your name to your opinion.

    I chose to run for re-election because I felt like I had to prove that this is real. That this movement was real. That I wasn’t a fluke. That people really want guaranteed health care and that people really want the Democratic Party to fight for them.

    But I’m serious when I tell people the odds of me running for higher office and the odds of me just going off trying to start a homestead somewhere — they’re probably the same.

    "The violence?"

    Really? C'mon, man!

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I believe the word no can be considered violent.

      In certain situations.

      For people of a certain age.

        These people are people, and it is only the magic of a lack of self awareness that they do not realize the violence. People's minds are wondrous things.

        Education is extremely important.

          If AOC is being honest the feedback of the election is speaking loudly to her.
