57. "Her "don't worry about me" talk was amazing" In response to In response to 53
I worked hard to convince myself that somebody wanting to hold a high public office was almost, in itself, disqualifying for public office as a buffer from buying into any political cult of personality. It helps, mostly. I like Bernie's politics but I mostly don't care about him as a person. Etc.
But I'm just absurdly impressed with Rep. Omar. She's brave and principled without embracing some kind of false bluster - permitting us to see a politics which is animated by love and compassion. So my plan didn't work. I'm in the tank for her entirely.
