Since February isn't Black History Month anymore, it can become Buy Nothing Month and a platform for a general strike -- 28 days of activism -- led by AOC.

Yes? A European politician who made up Normal People to relate to the way Schumer does would be presumed far right and unserious until proven otherwise. Ditto one who interfered with competitive bidding to steer a few jobs into a district. We have class and ideological political frameworks instead.
