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.

        They may be able to tell you he marched with MLK and voted against the Iraq war.

        Soooo don't you see how this maybe matters for how they evaluate him?

            How is it so difficult to understand that racism and sexism play a major role in discourse because we live in a racist and sexist society?

            If you wanna talk about generalities, sure. But we're not talking generalities, we're talking about why a specific subset of people has a specific opinion on a specific person. The same exact arguments were made by Hillary stans to handwave any criticism as "it is just because of sexism, there is no other conceivable reason to dislike her".

                Generals never play themselves out in specifics.

                They do, but often it is exactly the opposite.

                Just seems like you want to ignore blatant racism and sexism

                What blatant racism and sexism? Where is it? You just decided that the backlash against her from the left is just because of racism and sexism, even though it is largely coming from the same demographic that propelled her to stardom in the first place and who stanned her a few months ago.

                Yeah, whatever, it is definitely "blatant sexism and racism", it just can't be that her stances are increasingly and surprisingly more disappointing.
