agree. the thing too is like it's not wrong to want politicians to be good, it's wrong to make excuses for them when they get it wrong. I did hope she would be a successor of bernie as well, and I'm also not even anti-AOC, she still speaks on important things that happen here, especially in a way most politicians wont even comment about. There is just some areas she is objectively bad, as with most people, no one is perfect.

i mean it's a meme now to say, "were gonna push x left" but i don't disagree with the idea, if you're in a position to hopefully influence any politician into a better position, do it. Takes a few minutes to bang out some tweets or make some calls or whatever you feel like you can do. I try to not be a nihilists about shit because it's not good, even if it feels right sometimes. Hope is an important thing in this fucked up world, it's also important to have if you're serious about change happening.
