yes, I did stop lurking specifically to post this screenshot about the dress
Also, since I don't see it talked about around here much, ATTENTION Kshama is currently in a recall fight with the recall vote (which will then trigger an election) coming up in a few months, consider donating to the solidarity campaign or phonebanking or some shit, I know some of you libs still volunteer for beto
That does phrase it better and I agree with your take here.
While I do think that AOC and her ilk should do more to mobilize people to take action to press for policies that they claim to support (and likely do actually, in my opinion), we could do more ourselves. We don't need to wait for AOC to tell us what to do.
Depends who 'we' is, cause I (and probably a much higher % of people on here than the general pop) am politically active in an org and on the streets, but I do get what you mean, the general population can definitely could do more
This is where AOC, or rather a working class organizer with her platform, would come in, by being a political pole for working class folks who aren't engaged and don't know what to do (or at least their options seem muddled and unclear), and you don't do that by telling them which policies are good and we should really get these policies, but by building mass movements of working people from the ground up, rather than the top down
