According to Politico, Ocasio-Cortez donated $160,000 to 32 “frontline” Democrats, a list that includes many prominent “CIA Democrats,” former representatives of the Pentagon and intelligence agencies.
If there's a toll to Pelosi it's DCCC dues, which she doesn't pay. Choosing where her money goes is clearly better than just cutting Democrats a blank check, even if there's room to criticize her current appraoch.
This is $5K each to reps who will face strong Republican challengers in 2022. Maybe some of those reps aren't worth supporting at all, but the DCCC could have easily taken her money and cut a $160K check to someone in a safe blue district who's facing a primary challenger from the left.
It's literally no different, she's still saving them that amount of money they can use to fund centrist primary challenges and that's 160k less she can use to fund other Rosa killers like her.
"AOC killed Rosa" isn't a historical take; it's an ideological one. And insults from intraleftist feuds (from a century ago and a continent away) aren't going to accomplish anything in the U.S. in 2021.
Wow I guess I have to spell it out, it's a historical fact that social democrats will always side with capital, and repeating that history sure as fuck isn't going to accomplish anything in the US in current year.
"Social democrats will always side with capital" is also an ideological take. So is calling AOC -- a member of a democratic socialist org -- a social democrat. And of course, predicting AOC's future behavior is an ideological take.
It's a historical and dialectical take and she's already proven where her loyalties lie, how many other issues well she defer to the democratic Caucus on?
She's paying her toll to Pelosi, maybe that's a non issue to you

I'm not sure this is going to help build a mass socialist movement.
Well ignoring history definitely won't.
