Bernie Sanders floats AOC as potential 2028 presidential contender: ‘Very good politician’

I'd rather her get the opportunity to be a "get shit done" President, instead of having to spend all her time rooting out Trump's traitors in the government while getting villainized in the media.

Reply in thread

Walk into class

Pull laptop out of bag, put it on the desk

Whip out mechanical keyboard

Mouse, small set of stereo speakers

Pull out a large object wrapped in a blanket

Everyone else watches confusedly

Take off blanket, unveiling a 28in monitor

Whip out power strip

Put power strip on the adjacent desk, no one is sitting there anyway

20ft extension cord

The outlet is on the far wall, run the extension cord between the desks

Apologize to everyone bumped into a long the way

Play World of Warcraft the entire time
