    There’s a difference between “look, don’t be too hard on someone on the left edge of mainstream politics” and “no criticism is allowed.” I see plenty of people saying the former, but no one saying the latter.

    Just say "#forcethevote was good" once, and you'll attract the latter in no time.

      I've seen far too much Force The Vote discussion and I've never seen "you're not allowed to criticize AOC."

      This either doesn't exist, or is one of those situations where someone posts some obscure tweet with three likes as if any significant number of people believe it.

        People said it to me often, including on this site.

          Yeah....been on this site on various accounts since Sept last year. Plenty of people, early on, took the stance of "AOC should not be criticized". Those people seem to have largely given up or seen the light (or gotten banned).
