If I want to read The Hill or the Center for Effective Lawmaking or whatever center-right think tank makes it to the top of c/politics I would watch MSNBC.

Stop with your “body language expert” tier horseshit and actually criticize these succdems from the left how fucking hard is that.

    My general view on AOC is this: if she does something right, I will support her, but if she does something wrong, I will criticize her for it.

    I am not going to hate her and no longer think she is good overall because some think tank said she did not get enough housekeeping bills passed.

    Personally, I think part of why there is starting to be a disdain for her is that some people wanted a leader for the left movement, but they are bothered she does not adhere to their niche and/or whatever they projected on her, even if there was no pretense on her part to support her being like that in the first place.

    At the end of the day, treat her like literally anything else.

      AOC is not good overall, but she is less bad than most of the rest of the field (same for the rest of the Squad). The US has approximately zero "good" politicians with any sort of political power outside of their local communities. Possible exemptions are Kshama Sawant and Lee Carter.

      Let me know if I am overlooking anyone good, or if I am misplacing my trust in these two.

      AOC is a bourgeois politician. There is nothing she can do that is right, unless you are a social democrat who want to improve conditions of the working class so that there is less class conflict. Whatever social democrats can do to improve things, actual communists can do better through independent working class power. Read the section on bourgeois socialism in the Manifesto, that explains why we should be opposed to such movements.
