Glenn Greenwald

You know, it's just, I think that is the main problem is, is, is Democrat.

The big problem that Democrats have is they stand for nothing.

And if you don't even have a personality, it's very hard to convince people that you actually have a substantive set of beliefs as well.

It wasn't smart.

She thought it was, she was so pleased with herself.

For a long time, I think the way people thought, who were Republicans on the right side, right wing side of media, was to talk about her as though she was some sort of radical, like some sort of far left dissident, some sort of extremist.

And the first person who actually understood what AOC really is, was Marjorie Taylor Greene, who never attacked her as a radical, but always attacked her as a fraud.

Somebody who was actually really nothing more than this empty careerist, this Democratic Party partisan,

She had like a little bit of flavoring of trying to sound like more on the left wing side of the Democratic Party.

But very quickly, she just morphed into a Democratic Party operative.

And that's all she really is.

So whatever else is unique about her,

It's just pure show.

It's like a theater kid sort of behavior that draws attention to herself, but it's not because of any interesting or compelling or substantive ideas.

She's really, there is nothing radical about her unless you just think that ordinary Democratic Party politics is radical.

And then on the J.D.

Vance side,

I always wondered about J.D.

Vance's ability to be a compelling politician because of that lack of kind of overt charisma.

And the thing that really convinced me that I don't think he'll ever be, obviously, in comparison to Trump, that's almost like a bar too high for anybody, or even like Obama or Clinton, like the great politicians.
