Also correlated: AOC is not funded in the same way the other pols are. She’s not just an individual exemplar but an example of an alternative business model for a US Politician.

I am rewatching Buffy with my 14 year old episode by episode. Tv today is so much better but Mr Giles as Punk Rock ‘ripper’ is something I’d be here for.
