*advancing her career

This is about AOC losing her bid for the Oversight committee to a geriatric Dem lifer. Sure she has systematically shredded any last bit of credibility with her triangulation, but hey, at least all the 5D polítical chess is paying off! She’s changing the system from the inside! It’s working this time!

Girl, you abandoned any pretense of doing working-class mass politics when you decided to do insider politics! Why are you tweeting like Bernie Sanders circa 2012? There’s no we! There’s no mass movement behind you! It’s just NYC DSA and some Warren libs (but I repeat myself)

        Yes. and? it was literally win/win for her.

        first if biden/harris lost she can point out their shitty policies as the reason. if they won she can claim she helped bring the critical left vote.

        for her and her role it was the correct call. my role was to fuck over harris in biden. which I happily did. see situation 1.

        But you see that requires being able to understand cause, effect, and complex interactions within dynamic environments.

        yes, she and bernie endorsed him. they also were critical of the admin’s israel policies the entire time. I dont have a problem with this.

        Unless of course your advocating the she should have supported trump, or literally any of the useful idiots with zero chance of winning. that literally would have been a waste of political capital. I was happy to support jill over harris because that was my role in the situation took all of 5 minutes to check a few box. oi the burden!

          You can’t claim to be critical of a policy then vote in favor of that policy with no conditions lmao

          And she went to bat for a genocidal warmongering unionbreaking racist misogynist, which I think is bad and should be critiqued. I don’t see what it is you don’t understand.

          if they won she can claim she helped bring the critical left vote.

          I thought the dems couldn’t be pushed left? Then this argument doesn’t matter.

          But you see that requires being able to understand cause, effect, and complex interactions within dynamic environments.

          It’s really sad when you just repeat an insult back at the insulter. At least have some originiality.

          yes, she and bernie endorsed him. they also were critical of the admin’s israel policies the entire time.

          :doubt: I know your types think words have meaning, but they don’t when the actions don’t line up. However the words were still very much in favor of genocide. She was ride or die for Biden.

          Unless of course your advocating the she should have supported trump, or literally any of the useful idiots with zero chance of winning.

          “There’s only two possibilities! Only two things to do! She was completely powerless and also what she does doesn’t matter and she has no pull so doing anything wouldn’t have mattered, but she also couldn’t have done anything else.” You’re constantly moving your position throughout this thread buddy. If she has no pull and nothing she does really has any significance, then she could have chosen to support the uncommitted movement, and that’s at the very least.

          political capital

          Oh my god paradox gamers are the thickest goons around. Those games and their consequences are just… Such a shame really.

          I was happy to support jill over harris because that was my role in the situation took all of 5 minutes to check a few box.

          Liberals and thinking voting is activism, name a more iconic duo.
