liking Bernie became something of a lefty shibboleth, “are you committed to the cause enough even to ignore or defy the libs”, which isn’t something that can happen with AOC. IDK Rashida Tlaib booing Hillary and Ilhan Omar being an anti-imperialist also gets them lib hate
I mean this is the point though. If you even approach threatening power or the US imperial death machine, libs will turn on you in a heartbeat. AOC being liked by libs is an insult to her character if anything.
Nah, they like her because she's young and poc. I think they're able to look past her more left positions because she's not really a threat as just a junior congresswoman. Bernie being a presidential front-runner made him an actual threat, and thus the focus of there hate
Actually wait. What you're wrong about is that it's an insult to her character. Just being a junior congresswoman, and therefore not a threat, isn't a character flaw.
Her existence lets them think that the Democratic Party has a future that's worth thinking about. On the surface, she's a manifestation of that "demographics is destiny" shit that they were telling themselves some years ago.
The libs like AOC because she’s a young person of color who currently isn’t a threat to them. Watch how quickly they’ll turn on her if she seeks either Schumer’s seat or the presidency.
The libs liked Bernie (or just ignored him) until he became a serious threat to them.
