    Orrrrr she's a regular soc-dem, and is doing the same things as Bernie or any other soc-dem would do. Come on with this crap, I genuinely don't understand when people on the left act surprised when a self-described dem-soc/soc-dem does things like this... THEY NEVER CLAIMED TO BE COMMUNISTS OR SOCIALISTS.

    Same thing with Bernie. Constantly see MFers shocked that he's supporting Biden... IDIOT, HE SUPPORTED HILLARY FUCKING CLINTON... WHAT ON EARTH MADE YOU THINK HE WOULDN'T SUPPORT JOE BIDEN?????????????????????????????????????

      I have many of the same critiques of her as other people, but these struggle sessions go nowhere. No ones mind is changed from this. I have no idea what else to do tho.

      Exactly, and the Democratic party has always been a graveyard of social movements, historically. That party has had to be dragged, kicking and screaming the entire time to support anything left from the fucking center.

      AOC is a member of that party. It should come as no surprise.

        I don't think labeling them as "OPs" is the way to do that tho. And this is ChapoChat, everybody here should be aware of the difference between communists, socialists, soc-dems, dem-socs, etc.

        It's just kinda embarrassing whenever I see stuff like this. A soc-dem does a "soc-dem" thing, and people here react like: "WHAAAAT??? THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE!"

        She's a soc-dem, you can criticize her when she does something bad, you can praise her when she does something good. You can debate whether she's useful or not. But this is just kiddie stuff. (Same thing when she does something good, and people suddenly forget everything and act like she's comrade AOC.)
