*advancing her career

This is about AOC losing her bid for the Oversight committee to a geriatric Dem lifer. Sure she has systematically shredded any last bit of credibility with her triangulation, but hey, at least all the 5D polítical chess is paying off! She's changing the system from the inside! It's working this time!

Girl, you abandoned any pretense of doing working-class mass politics when you decided to do insider politics! Why are you tweeting like Bernie Sanders circa 2012? There's no we! There's no mass movement behind you! It's just NYC DSA and some Warren libs (but I repeat myself)

        That last photo always gets to me. I think it's the lipstick and I don't know why. And why is she wearing all white?

          probably because she intentionally dressed for a photoshoot and wearing all white implies purity and lack of complicity in what's happening

            I imagine the same, but for someone who is hailed as "being great at optics" that's a really terrible idea. It screams "politician who is only here for a performative photo op"
