    Nothing, but the SEP leader was a serial assaulter so the line on the WSWS is that metoo is bourgeois cancel culture, so they defend weinstein, kevin spacey etc. I don't think what WSWS is saying here is true either. They're claiming that AOC purposefully donated to Elissa Slotkin, who iirc screamed at AOC and Rashida Tlaib on multiple congressional caucus phone calls for endorsing her primary opponent and generally being too left. What seems to have happened is that DCCC aides gave lawmakers’ wire transfer information to Ocasio-Cortez's aides who mass sent the money out. Slotkin has already insulted her again and said she's returning the money, as have two other conservative dems on that list. AOC and a bunch of other progressives don't even pay DCCC dues and actively speak out against it.

      It would be hilarious if this was 5D chess, AOC paying her DCCC dues directly to Dems she knew would reject and return the money so she can say "well, I tried". Sadly, that's unlikely.

      This is such a weird story.

      so they defend weinstein, kevin spacey etc

      jfc.......

      so this to me screams cia horseshit designed to make socialist look like loony toons, but maybe someone more knowledgeable on the org can explain further(and I mean just the one person doing it, not the whole site). seriously that's so fucking stupid, like say whatever you want about MeToo--obviously it was horseshit by bougie white "feminists" (ie. not feminists) that immediately stopped the second Tara Reade got in the news. But to defend Weinstein and the rest of the sex pests....what the fuck that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Only makes sense as a very stupid attempt at "haha see how crazy these socialists are!?"...
