Respectfully, I think your problem is with statistics.

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.

Tbh I don't really care about Kamala being the VP. She's no worse and no better than the other options that were being considered imo.

Like Big3 alluded to she's just a soulless pragmatist with no strong distinct principles or beliefs, somewhat similar to Biden in that regard.

I'm not heated about it or anything, I wouldn't have been excited about anyone. It's such a meaningless position. I keep seeing headlines saying Kamala will be the "most powerful VP ever" and it's just like... ???? How can that be if Trump's re-election has just been sealed?

Think people are saying that because of how weak Biden seems. It's literally not even clear if he'll run for a second term if he wins. He is just a place holder candidate in every sense of the word.

I honestly don't think it makes the slightest bit of difference in that regard. Fox and friends called Obama a communist Muslim and they call Bernie Sanders a communist Jew. Part of the strategic problem with the red scare approach is they basically muddy the waters between different types of Democrats by just calling them all commies.
