I don't think she aspires to be AOC. I think she's far more calculating than that. AOC is one of the few people I feel like actually fights back when people attack her position. Kamalas positions are generally scraped clean of substance as to make them less objectionable.

Absolutely agree. I compare her to AOC more in the sense that Kamala is very good at dealing with the media, even when she's in hot water she'll muster some kind of articulate answer (maybe my standards are just that low after 4 years of 45). I see Kamala wanting to be in the headlines all the time like AOC is. But she doesn't have the charisma or the passion. She comes off like a Karen who's been proven wrong but refuses to admit it - you know, lots of scoffing and moving of goalposts. Shows exasperation toward their opponent as if they aren't themselves floundering. Etc.
^ That meme is great. All this time sustaining protests and actions against the police and the DNC gives us a cop and someone who wants to lock up anarchists. Smdh.
