Vox is pushing her. They ask several people in south Carolina and only show one cite Palestine against wanting her to run again. One woman says no don't run, she's too smart so people won't like her.

The harshest criticism they give AIT time to is that somewhere around minute 28 a democratic insider says "the campaign needs to be Bye Bye Biden. Like the backstreet boys". But not for any reason other than the biden campaign being unpopular

Kamala vs AOC would be a boon for popularizing the differentiation between leftists and liberals

AOC would be forced to reckon with her capitulation to Harris in 2024, in fact Harris will likely throw it in her face "You supported my foreign policy in 2024, why the flip flop?"

How AOC responds to that is frankly irrelevant, just the fact that exchange will almost certainly take place is educational enough for left-lib wafflers

Harris running would be useful enough, since libs will be stuck arguing in favor of a proven loser and so will always be on the defensive, which makes rhetorical concessions (especially on Palestine) likely
