        lol, she's getting 60 seconds to vote shame and pretend that she did anything useful by going along with Biden.

        That's it. it's not 60 seconds to challenge them it's 60 seconds of legitimizing. Controlled opposition at it's finest.

          This... Theres no reason to go along with this, no reason to sully her name, just give the corporatist the finger and be public about it, but thats not AOC, she has plans, and if it requires playing ball she will be there.

            Let's see what she does with it. If it's a 60-second ad for Biden, that's lame. If it's 60 seconds on climate change, I don't see a problem with it.

              I dont need to wait to know shes a phony, no real progressive would have vote for the cares act. But she did, like all the other grifters and the she immideately began lying about her vote. this is a media stunt, like the social media bs she has worked on perfecting for years now.

    Because she’s a little left of center and he is where the other Democrats since their views align.

    The dream for DNC strategists for a while has been baiting the Republicans into going to some mythic far right position where a chunk of their base breaks up and can be scooped up permanently by the Dems with Clintonesque "third way" politics thus cementing their long-term power and financing.

    Besides that fact there is the fact they are a bourgeois party for the benefit of the capitalists, a relief valve and way to constrain leftward movement and water it down and bring it back into the fold to be smothered.

    Anyways so to them AOC is not their future, she's just an annoying part of their currently large tent, the direction they want to go and will go with the help of pliant, Trump-traumatized liberals is rightward in the name of preventing another Trump ever again.

    Pulling the Dems left is less literal and more the exact reason they aren’t giving AOC as much time: they don’t want people like her to be the future of the party so they aren’t gonna platform her.
