"You don't choose the time - the time chooses you."

This is very much the case for AOC right now.

In order to have even a chance of taking this country back from the plutocrats, whoever runs has to overcome not just the Republicans, but the controlled opposition "moderates" who are predictably pimped by the plutocrat-backed DNC and Dem establishment, and at this point in history, AOC is the only one who could do that.
