    Jeet Heer Retweeted Jonathan Chait

    Worth considering the non-AOC portion of evening. Biden campaign touted support of establishment figures (Powell, Chuck Hagel) & friendship with John McCain. Entire night was a call for ancien regime restoration. This could be good politics but promise is of a competent elitehttps://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1296061268160380928 …

    I don't think this rhetoric by @AOC is for "millennials" per se. I think it's for products of elite universities. pic.twitter.com/YSP3SMihVp

        I hate this entire convention. I don't want to be ruled by happy, shiny people who admire one another; I want immediate action on climate change, police abuse, monopoly.

        For all of the talk of AOC speaking time vs old establishment heads the real tell was the 17 rising starts mash up. Diverse, young, across the country. That to me was the future.

        It’s almost impressive to be this racist, sexist, and classist - and make clear you don’t realize that some millennials are almost forty - all in one tweet. Even more remarkable: Someone pays him real American money to do this for a living. https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1296061268160380928 …
