Hoping to help lead a congressional panel that could be in a position to hold President-elect Donald Trump accountable to the American public in the coming years, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday notified her colleagues that she is officially seeking the top Democratic seat on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
How horrible, somebody trying to do something positive.
How even more horrible, someone denying the reality of the world.

Not denying, fighting against the reality. I dare say you haven’t seen any videos of her in committees asking the pointed questions that are normally glossed over. You can certainly argue about effectiveness, but if no one tries to make a difference, it will absolutely go the direction it’s going.
She’s not a centrist, so she’s not preemptively capitulating.
Your right! Give up, try nothing.
Jill Stein voter, perhaps?
