That's bullshit. What about her opponent??? That is the only person she should be debating.

and the point is moot since she could go out there and absolutely pummel him and he will just declare victory and fox news will laugh all day long at her.

i wonder if any of these people would call drumpf a coward if he refused a $10,000 debate offer

One, everyone who would watch that debate probably already has their minds made up. Second, Ben's worldview is that your human dignity revolves around your utility to a corporate power or wealthy individual. You want healthcare? Get it from your employer. Your employer does not offer it? Get another one? You can't? Then you die.

We know what Ben stands for. What's there to debate?

AOC very conspicuously did not make Obama's endorsement cut of 81.

Obama understands the huge stakes of November, and is strongly focused on November - [local excitements aside].

18. What does that have to do with AOC?

AOC is not losing her race in November. A Republican hasn't gotten more than 17% of the vote in her district in literally decades. That entire district is heavily POC with the majority Puerto Rican which AOC is. The Republican challenger is wanting to do nothing but make it known he was supposedly screwed over in his divorce.

I wouldn't expect Obama to endorse a Democratic Socialist. It doesn't mean that person is a bad candidate, it means the times are changing very fast within the last couple of years.

and he really never claimed that he was.

His centrist leanings should surprise no one.

(He was infinitely better than the idiot he replaced or the Nazi who's got the office now. That goes without saying)

I'm impressed with how she is handling herself with so much attention.

True leadership working through her.
