Feels like (the good parts of) old chapo again, drop an AOC post and go grab some lunch... come back and there are over 60 replies :)

    People also gotta remember the people working for her aren't super online ML's. They probably are barely even socdems. No wonder she might regurgitate bad takes. Remember, she did respond to online criticism about her going to the Rabin event. I think she could be nudged in the right direction with some good faith persuasions, but she's in congress.

      I actually literally just made a comment but I do regularly work with her in our community here in Queens and I’m a ML. I know a few others in our group who are as well and basically 1/2 of people who are working with us are significantly farther left than libs (granted we are only loosely associated with AOC but regularly coordinating community events)

      When I WAS working with the campaign at least 4-5 of the people I got to know well were leftists. Obviously when not campaigning her staff is smaller and I’m not sure how big it is, but it’s for sure under 20 people and I know 3 who are leftists. I was kind of shocked when I realized how many people came out of the woodwork when one of us started pretty openly shitting on the dem party

      Nah the staff is usually further left than the politicians, not the other way around. There was very likely a bunch of staffers for these folks posting to the old sub.
