      You can argue that AOC is the left wing of fascism, because she's an electoralist who works within a bourgeois class and lends it her legitimacy.

      You can argue that she's a misguided Succ who thought her position as a House Rep would afford opportunities for a two-front conflict with capital, but ended up pissing away every opportunity for empty promises delivered by House leadership.

      You can argue that she's a Maoist insurgent plotting to strike when her capitalist handlers least expect it, and this is just brilliant 11D chess people on Twitter don't understand.

      But all your arguments amount to nothing when the last four years haven't amounted to much. AOC's four year track record has been an absolute snooze.

          AOC is the next Nancy Pelosi

          I'll believe that when I see it. She's not some East Coast bagman.

          Sorry, backing away from the lathe now.

          America is a fascist country. There is little we could do worse than we've already done in my lifetime.

          And Republicans don't need to openly quote Hitler. They can just quote Reagan to the same effect.

          I don't think there's anything AOC can really do to alter our trajectory at this point, and I think it would be foolish to pretend she could. But she's in a position to rally folks in her own neighborhood. I'm mostly disappointed that she's been failing on that front.

        In the good old days of 2020 people unironically believed that about Bernie, "he is hiding his powerlevel so he can get elected" or something. I saw that sort of comment so many times on the old sub.
