This reply in and of itself is a fantastic display of those political instincts
She’s kinda done huh
Once again reminding myself to believe in ideas and movements, not individuals.
Ideas and movements are easy to coopt and twist and lie about and use opportunistically. Ideas and movements are not sufficient. I believe in organized and disciplined parties of the advanced section of the working class, of which America has none and that’s why our “squad” never had a snowflakes chance in hell against the trillions of dollars of military funding and corporate donations. They were doomed from the very start, as are every single squishy left unorganized potato in a sack who tries to reform this place
your comment made me think about how the US security state sent out fake protestors with megaphones during the latter half of the summer of 2020 and would use the plants to corral the mass of unorganized protestors
the unique difficulty of organizing in America is that everyone here is libertarian brain-poisoned and completely individualist. They want to have the perfect politics and are on an individual quest for political redemption and perfection. We cannot win until we destroy that mindset and people begin to understand we need discipline, and hold collective interests above individual interests.
“my incoherent mix of deranged opinions is what makes me so special and unique, and the people on TV agree with me so I must be right”
I have synthesized a never before tried perfect mix of left and right, socialism and capitalism!
That perfect synthesis: bog stand Liberalism
“listen, I may have never read a book and I’m more than 150 years out of date in my conception of philosophical concepts, but here’s this new idea I’ve come up with that nobody has ever thought of before.”
EDIT: sorry I am feeling really pissed off
I think the idea and movement to move the Democratic party left is done. The individuals tasked and hired to do so have been nullified and co-opted by the forces they were supposed to resist.
There’s simply no way to do it without outright ousting the current leadership out of the party entirely, which is effectively ending it in all but name only.
like what I imagine the feds did to CPUSA
The problem is, the “democratic party” barely exists as an organization. It’s a brand, a fundraising network, and a small informal network of insiders. None of which are possible or useful to “take over”
Yeah it’s become a party machine but with only the corrupted leadership elements, with the ward captains that have deep connections to their neighborhoods and ensuring everyone gets a turkey at Thanksgiving aspects removed. It really is just the brand and the baked-in “blue no matter who” voters that have any use.
Especially in the USA, where individuals are either subsumed by the system or crushed under its heel
As someone leftists could have a glimmer of hope about? Yeah, but that’s been true for a while
In terms of climbing party ranks? Maybe, but the Dems are all about their losers
As a politician? Absolutely not
Her district is HEAVILY liberal, so unless she does something to offend her voters or the Democratic Party, she’s gonna keep that seat until they scrape her corpse out like they did for Feinstein.
i used to think this woman represented a socailist incursion into congress.
lol. turns out she’s the type to deploy with USAID to a developing country on the eve of a coup, so you know, the opposite of socialist. ah well, nevertheless.
AOC is doing what the unions wanted her to. Do you disagree?
Admittedly it’s not totally clear why the unions wanted her to reply to this random account

Power dynamics
this is how you build dual power
Damn at least have the shame to lay low for a minute.
Also - is she replying to some rando?
Some Harvard teacher apparently
FR this sort of petty slapfight is never a good look
That would be those vaunted “political instincts” no one should ever bring up again

Frame it, it belongs in a museum
“Pelosification of AOC” really struck a nerve, she probably went out for a drive in her Tesla to calm down
Ok now I guess we have to be worried about AOC having dementia because her reply makes no sense.
heart attack gun

gunIt’s Havana Syndrome!
AOC when she goes to bat for Biden 1 ms before he gives up:
what does her fucking up have to do with him thinking?had to have high high hopes for a minute
Well, that’s embarrassing. Common “squad” L
I’m not owned! I’m not owned!
Anyone that even critically supported succdems should be fucking embarrassed rn.
I can’t believe the fire-brand “left” are one of the few groups still going to bat for genocide Joe.
Well that’s one objectively good thing to come out of this. Them showing their whole ass yet again. I hope by now that anyone who wants remotely good things to happen has disabused themselves of the idea that the “Squad” is worth anything at all
