Please, AOC, Run For President (And Why She Can’t)

There was a time when the idea of someone with a room temperature IQ running for President of the United States was laughable, the plot to some awful movie. Since Joe Biden, all bets are off. For Democrats, having an IQ larger than your waist line is an obstacle, making it difficult to advocate for policies that have failed everywhere they’ve been tried with a straight face. Luckily for them, there aren’t many Democrats who have a double-digit IQ, so it’s not much of an issue, and their Queen is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In what has to be an attempt to see if there is anything a rabid leftist can do to alienate an audience, Stephen Colbert has had an endless stream of progressive politicians, journalists and activists on his show recently. It’s almost like performance art where the artist is trying to see if there is a point at which the audience realizes they’re being played for fools, but they never do. No amount of pandering, however obvious and ridiculous, dents their psyche and registers as mockery. It would make a great sociology experiment, if sociology weren’t a field more worthless than late night “comedy” shows.
Just as an aside, remember when those comedy shows were about comedy? When hosts told jokes – set up, punchline? Now all of these shows are rejected daytime speeches from the Democratic National Convention. Gone are the punchlines, replaced by applause lines. “Republicans sure suck, don’t they?” and the audience of barking seals claps like they’re hoping to be thrown a fish. Pathetic.

In the course of doing to comedy what Joe Biden did to Tara Reade, Colbert (who was totally cool with what Joe did, and what Hunter did to all those obviously trafficked Russian girls) had Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and nearly begged her to run for president in 2024.
Cortez, someone who gives Eric Swalwell a run for the title of dumbest human being ever elected to Congress, downplayed the idea because you have to while the President is of your party and not term limited out of reelection.
