      My skepticism radar kicked in at "University of The State With All The Military Contractors" and ratcheted to Defcon 1 when I checked out their About section:

      Jason Altmire served three terms in the United States House of Representatives from 2007-2013. He is the author of: Dead Center: How Political Polarization Divided America and What We Can Do About It. During his time in office, the nonpartisan National Journal calculated Altmire's voting record to be at the exact midpoint of the House -- the Dead Center -- giving him the most centrist voting record in Congress.

      Just fuck the fuck right the fuck fucking off you fucking fuck.

      Right? If you're actually on the left the only legit criticism I really see is "Man...all that pandering has really gotten you somewhere huh?" A lot of people are really missing the mark on this including Kyle Kulunski. The real reason to be upset at AOC is that she's just not posting like she used to.

      It's 2021 and if you're still expecting her to change hearts and minds or be effective at passing legislation in the senate then you don't get the game being played here. Its the middle of a fucking pandemic and an ongoing massive crisis and we're still not willing to talk medicare for all for fucks sake. Her effectiveness was her willingness to unapologetically fight for the right thing and heighten the contradictions in the process.
