Idk, this still doesn't change my stance on her (ergo: glad she's in her position but not worshipping her as a hero of the revolution)

The most maddening part about the AOC discourse is that even if there were a hundred AOCs in government rn it still wouldn't lead to a revolution of any kind because you need actual movements of people to push forward the goals of some kind of socialist project. And that involves stuff like mutual aid and breaking down theory into more digestible forms for people who aren't weirdo academics or sicko book-readers. Yknow, talking to people

The word: critical support comes to mind a lot with AOC but if people disagree that's fine and I'm glad we're in a space where it can be discussed from a leftist PoV and not the usual chud-lib axis where its either playing defensive for bad policy or trashing the opponent.
