It's a pattern. Obama endorsing her, meeting with those Bolivian coup supporters, deferring to party leadership on Venezuela, sanctioning China. At worst she's an active anti-Communist and at best she's a Social Democrat who is learning to operate Democratic Party machinery and being changed by it.

What's her job
My point is that misleading people about what Socialism is is not going to lead them or us to Socialism, it will teach people that they can vote for Democrats to do it and that it will not involve any sacrifice or hard decisions. We all get free healthcare, don't ask how.
No, I said that half the country thinks Socialism is Social Democracy and it's good. You somehow believe that what half the country wants has literally anything to do with what legislation is passed.
Hahah yeah man we live in a Democracy where what people want matters. We're definitely gonna get M4A, just keep waiting!
Exactly, they are entirely unaware of the contradictions within Social Democracy, do not see why it's insufficient, and are not prepared to make any sacrifices to bring about Socialism, as they think you can do it via ballot. What now?
So she's wrong.
And let's address the argument that there's something to be gained by "hiding one's power level."
What? Did you people watch Bernie's two campaigns and somehow come away with the idea that working with the Democratic Party is a way to advance our interests? If so, you took away literally the opposite of what you should have, and are demonstrating exactly what happens when you water down Socialism.
The year is 2030. Half the US believes that Socialism is when you make third world countries pay for your healthcare. What now?
Is AOC sanctioning China "hiding her power level" you fucking RadLibs?
Of course she fucking is, Jesus Christ! The level of DemSucc delusion here is astounding.
If AOC is a Democratic Socialist, why didn't she point to Chile instead of these dogshit imperialist nations?
Everyone defending AOC needs to get one thing through their fucking skulls: you will never bring Socialism by disavowing Socialism. No amount of "I'm a Socialist but Stalin is bad" will ever be enough, as evidenced by half the country thinking AOC is a "Stalinist."
"Socialism was bad everywhere it's been tried but I'll be good if we do it" is a dogshit argument that convinces no one, and pointing to nations that are not even fucking close to Socialist as Socialist doesn't make people open to Socialism, it halts their progress into Socialism, like the fucking Vaushites who think you can do entryism in the Democratic Party.
I'm sorry that this politician you like isn't a Socialist. She's not hiding her power level, she's a fucking Liberal.
You get that none of those states are Socialist and she calls herself a Socialist, right? What is this bullshit excuse making all over the place?
This is some real "why won't you also talk about how bad Republicans are" shit
Does she not call herself a Socialist?
Because "criticism" to anti-Communists means completely denouncing every Socialist project.
