I’m done with my schtick that AOC is good or bad depending on the day.

She’s taking money from young progressives who want her to primary conservative dems and giving it directly to conservative dems like Conor Lamb... lmao.

She also gave money to CIA spook Abigail spanbergler who has publicly and privately talked shit about her repeatedly... lol

I didn’t realize her descent into being awful would be this quick. Wonder what her associated orgs are doing? Will justice dems just fizzle out or be wrapped into the establishment?

Yikes all around.

    Hot take: AOC is actually a really good representative of the American "left" because it's mostly college students who know they're overqualified for all the work that's available to them and once they reach an "appropriate" job or position in society they will immidiately cast down any radicalism.

      cough DSA cough

      the majority of these new Bernie leftists are temporarily embarrassed middle class consumer drones. If you're in the heart of Empire and your leftism is dominated by domestic policies you're probably not in it for long run. Fighting against US imperialism should be at least equal to domestic issues if you're a leftist in the Imperial core, otherwise at best you're creating a new generation of socdem imperialists. If your foreign policy takes are mostly the same as those of the State Department then you're hopeless.
