He's taking real action, yes (though not nearly enough), but here's the thing: He's not doing this out of the goodness of his heart; it's an attempt to get support for a 2028 run. And if that happens, and if there's even a democracy by that point, it will be an unmitigated disaster. Just because he did a good thing once or twice doesn't mean we should forget who this slimy, homeless-oppressing Charlie Kirk sellout really is.

AOC. Now tell me that women can't win because you don't want to run that particular woman.

The DNC def don't want to run her. She's another Bernie the exact right person they need but they will pass to avoid losing the centre votes.
