Wyden and AOC enjoy the luxury of not having to worry about re-election due to residing on extremely blue states. They would not be so bold if they represented Texas or Florida, for example.
The same goes for Republican representatives in highly red states.
AOC would not represent Texas or Florida because they are not progressive enough to support her in a landslide, twice, the way her district did.
Manchin mealy-mouthed his way into a slight win and has to be a slimy politician with no backbone because he craves power.
The funniest part of your post is that you claim AOC "would not be bold." Do you even know who she is? She's the definition of bold. She is doing what she said she would do and pissing off centrist dems all over the place every day.
But call me when AOC & Wyden are involved in a scandal, which is what this entire thread is about. If so, I'll change my tune, but until then, my original point stands.
