ofc they won't do it -- not until they write in some rule that blocks her from immediately running against and inevitably beating the shit out Chuck Schumer. know your real enemy, folks

    Why are so many 'leftists' still obsessed with shitting on her? The DNC and the far right are both attacking her and all we have to do is upvote her fucking tweets consistently enough and she will be more powerful than Schumer in a few years.

    Social media actually gives us control if we're not too dumb to use it. Attacking "leftish" dems while we still have far right dems and farther right repubs in most positions is just bad strategy.

      Why are so many ‘leftists’

      Middle class imperialists are the real comrades.

      all we have to do is upvote her fucking tweets consistently enough and she will be more powerful than Schumer in a few years.

      This is idealism, learn about Marxist historical materialism.

    There has been a lot of skepticism towards electoralism in the wake of Bernie and Jezza and for very good reason, but it would be insane to just surrender and entire theatre of war to the ruling class just because it’s too hard.

      electoralism

      Except this isn't a real thing. It's just a word. We need to target actual human beings within the process that are doing the cheating. McKinsey (Mayor Pete) and Bloomberg using hundreds of millions and fraudulent app to steal Bernie's momentum on Super Tuesday.

      Even controlling the entire media landscape, Bernie was still going to get the nom without those two massive cheats. We scratched and fought our way to a door. On the other side of the door is actual electoral power in the hands of workers. We got to a door and found it locked. But we're still at the door if we don't turn around.

      Do you want to walk away and complain it was locked or hunker down and try to break the fucking lock so we can talk our shit back from capitalists?

      So much of this community just seems to be "anti-electoralism" part of the reason I didn't really give chapo a look until recently is that they very clearly are more "anti-voting" than "anti-capitalist". If your podcast's effect on electoralism is to help the far right, then it doesn't matter if your 'narrative' is leftist.

      Using leftist rhetoric and poorly constructed irony too dissuade voting is kinda why I think chapo has value in american capitalism.

    "Dissolving" her district means a primary battle between her and the sitting rep of another district, which she would have a pretty decent chance of winning.

    Guys, I think we're getting close. Just a few more pushes and we'll be able to do entryism in the dems

    Bourgeois electoralism - not even once.

    Though it'd be fun watching the making of a "Punished maoist AOC" - a woman denied her district.
