While speaking out against the ultra-right white supremacist mob that stormed the Capitol last week, AOC referred to the Capitol as the “citadel of democracy.” Organizing and speaking out against the right should not mean glorifying the imperialist, capitalist U.S. Capitol and what takes place within its walls.
She's doing this to fundraise off libs. I don't know if she truly believes this or not (I doubt it) but there's no denying this is the response of 90% of the Dem Party.
I'm not 'cancelling' AOC because she has to work with libs and speak to libs, but I never put my own ideology onto hers. She's not going to tear down the very institutions that give her power. That's just dumb.
What does AOC gain if she says 'We don't live in a Democracy, we never have' ? It's true and would be cathartic to hear from a politician, but it wouldn't change lib's mind. Most libs think the US is good, the indoctrination is a part of their being.
