It was preposterous at the time. I'm not on the AOC 2028 bandwagon. Objectively, AOC was the right person to lead oversight against this administration, not somebody that had health issues.

And she was good on that committee. I mean, the things you and I might not love about AOC were not germane to her performance on that committee. Correct. Because that committee was not about Medicare for all. It was not about foreign policy. It was just about the blocking and tackling of working really hard and communicating Republican corruption to the country. And she's really good at that.

I guess just since we're here and we're doing the Biden book tour, do you have any additional Biden thoughts you want to share? And have any of the revelations from the past week brought any nuance or color to your views or same as it ever was?

You know, I have contradictory thoughts. I think a point that you made is that like the cover up thing is real to the extent that people around Biden understood how limited he was and they were working to keep that hidden. But they thought he was going to go on the debate stage and win. They didn't put him up on the debate stage because they thought he was demented.

They thought he was going to win. So it's very hard to reconcile the most extreme kind of cover up scenario with that. That said, I think if you look back on the way liberals were discussing Biden all along and even after the debate. There's a real internal culture problem we had where it was hard to say this guy shouldn't be the candidate we're going to lose. Like I wrote those pieces.

And when I wrote those pieces, I would get slammed over and over again. Right. You've got, you know, an audience capture problem. You've got social media dynamics that make people hesitant to say what they know. And like, wouldn't it be easier just to write the column online?

or to make the point about the thing that all my audience is going to like hearing and not the thing that they don't like hearing. And when enough people do that, it prevents you from correcting real mistakes in your own position, and then you lose, and then that feels a lot worse.
