AoC needs to be VP for like 4 terms before being prez. Hammer home some decency and yeeeears of success so the fat old white guys can’t ignore her like they do with VP Harris. Also, AoC as a VP for almost a generation as the nation’s conscience kinda makes me happy.
This defeatist, placatory attitude will ensure that we never make any progress.
No one has ever been VP for FOUR TERMS, but that’s the hypothetical bar you set for her, because you assume that’s what it would take? Leaving aside that it’s an impossible ask anyways, being VP for 4 terms isn’t going to satisfy the “old fat white guys” anyways.
Are misogynists gonna demand more of her? Yeah, of course. But don’t go setting the bar higher on their behalf, before they even say anything!
