I mean, his campaign slogan is literally "Not me. Us."

if people are assuming that an octogenarian and a House Rep for a single tiny district in NY are going to singlehandedly rescue the country, they're wildly mistaken how large scale resistance counterculture movements actually gain traction.

"I'm too tired today, can't AOC just do it for me?" is pretty weak. maybe Americans just aren't capable of organizing and fighting?
