I fully understand that AOC is not perfect but she's doing a hell of a lot more than the podcast grifters are.

    And lib shit -- while it has major limitations -- can do real things that would be an enormous improvement for millions. Criticizing it is fine, dismissing it entirely is a mistake.

    The ACA was lib shit, and didn't go anywhere near far enough, but a bunch of people can get healthcare now who couldn't get it before. Want to know why people keep going back to Democrats despite all the party's failings? Because Democrats can point that stuff like that, and some mediocre improvements are worth years of promises. It's the same thing with M4A. It's not socialism, but if you play electoral politics well enough to make it happen you're going to have a lot more people willing to support you.
