Let AOC speak

Accord AOC more than 60 seconds to speak at the Democratic National Convention if you actually expect young and progressive voters to watch the show and later vote for Biden.

Why is this important?

AOC is the highest money raiser in the House Democratic Caucus. She is arguably the most recognizable and popular House member in the nation. The campaign is really going to need to energize young and progressive voters, particularly having put Harris in the Veep slot. This is an avoidable error. Former GOP Gov. Kasich is not going to generate any votes that Biden wouldn't have gotten anyway, but he's allotted 15X the speaking time of AOC. Sixty seconds is a slap in the face to the progressive wing of the party and makes it look like you really don't want their votes.
