Yeah. I question even the squad's long term support. AOC in particular has changed her tune since early on, but the fact she never apologized for conflating Pro-Palestinian protest with anti-Semitism doesn't sit right with me. Just makes it feel like she'll flip her position again as soon as it's politically expedient.
AOC seems to have completely abandoned anything beyond performative progressivism. She's got her eye on working her way up through the party and nothing else.
you just know she's justifying it by telling herself that at the next rung up, she can stop worrying about positioning and be her true progressive self
until she gets there, and the rung after that is in sight, and if she triangulates for just one more cycle...
It does seem like that, which is funny because there's no way in hell she's ever going to be allowed any truly 'important' positions. She had far too many 'problematic' opinions early on
That seems to be the catch with all these so-called "progressive" #FrauDSquAd members.
Don't talk about foriegn policy. You can critique domestic, but defer to on foreign policy. Replace your grassroot staff with DNC corpo-rats and remove that foreign policy tab from your campaign page to reveal and obvious missing piece in an otherwise fairly symmetric 4+4 grid of policies so now it's 4+3. Don't worry they won't notice (or care)
I'm sure she will tearfully vote "present" again when it's time for congress to decide whether or not to invade Syria/Iran/whatever winds up happening with this conflict.

The rest of the "squad" is fine domestically, but AOC sucks domestically in comparison as well.

Sadly enough.
She remembers getting hammered a year or so back when she teased voting 'No' on sending arms to Israel (eventually voted 'Present').
She cares about keeping her seat above all else.

where are my goddamn emojis do better lemmygrad
AOC shouldn't even be considered int he squad at this point she's just Pelosi's intern.
