call me "lib" but I still really like AOC, shes one of the good ones.
Yeah that "what if activists aren't PR firms for politicians" really does hit at Obama hard because that's pretty much the tack he's taking - that your activism is meaningless unless it turns into something useful for politicians to exploit.
She has flaws and limitations, like everyone, but she's unquestionably worth at least critical support.
With all due respect Mr. President go fuck yourself. You can't get mad at me I said with all due respect.
The important part of that phrase is not "respect" but "due" if no respect is due then any statement acceptably follows.
Yikes. This kind of rhetoric reminds me of my abusive step-cousin twice-removed who would always complain that my mashed potatoes were "too dry" and ate with his mouth open.
I shall not be voting for anyone with this sort of attitude and toxicity. Good day sir.
"Don't you realize your attempts to do things in politics are upsetting my enlightened sensibilities?!" - Basically the root of all Liberalism.
The audacity of this dude.
Organizers and protesters can chant whatever they want. They don't owe anything to the Democrats.
Oh I’m very ready for Buttigieg to beat AOC in a rigged primary and get curbstomped by Tucker Carlson in the general. (Carlson beats Dan Crenshaw who is the party pick in this scenario).
AOC definitely isn’t running for President until 2028, at the very least. I suspect she will go for Schumer’s seat in 2022, though. I think Schumer’s recent push for student loan forgiveness is evidence that he’s somewhat worried about this.
I worked with her campaigns here in NYC. Not saying I know this for sure, but I would be 0% surprised if she challenges Schumer first. She’s a way more well known name despite Schumer being around for about 2 centuries and could, in my opinion, very easily make up her loses in ground upstate with how much she’d carry NYC
Gaining control of congress and having a huge number of members support a demsoc presidential candidate instead of shitting on them in lockstep with the media, would help a lot with getting libs to stop trusting bourgeois media.
It's why Schumer is pivoting left. Also talk of just giving her a Senate seat somehow to prevent a Centrist bigwig getting absolutely crushed in the Senate.
They’d never make concessions like that even though AOC will still be around for a while
Dear God I can't wait until it's publicly "cool" to hate on Obama policies without being tied to right-wing, racist fucks. He's no ally of the left, he's just smart Trump that grifted his Chicago base, then national Democrats, and still controls the party four years later.
This is why these libs are so important for the lib to left pipeline. This critique of the establishment is the Bernie 2016 campaign except actually going on at all times and with an enormous social media presence
'defund the police is just a snappy slogan' says man whos entire first campaign ran on a 'snappy' slogan.
If they had just a few more members they could really start to pressure the democratic party.
As they damn well should.
I'm loving Punished AOC: A (congress)woman denied her party. 0 fucks given. If she keeps this up, I might have to move to the Bronx for a month or two to vote for her</joking>
The conservatives were right about one thing, Obama is an empty fucking suit.
