For decades, whenever Democrats have run Northern leftists candidates (going back to Humphrey and McGovern), they’ve failed to take the White House. They’ve done well with Southern Democrats, though, which may explain Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mimicking Hillary Clinton’s fake Southern accent. That fakery didn’t work before, but AOC is a different kind of candidate and, more importantly, we aren’t the same Americans we were 50 or more years ago.
