*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)

    uh huh and? you realize her endorsement came before gaza right? I understand you struggle with sequencing timelines being a communist an all but man. and again for her there was no reason to remove that endorsement. there was no other candidate. why lose the bargaining position? it was the voters job to get rid of biden and we did that. sadly the replacement was black biden, who obviously also didn’t receive our support. 🤷 .

    Quick question how many dead children are a deal breaker for you?

    child, go through my post history. I firmly argued against harris and biden for precisely the reasons you’re alluding to. But I’m not sitting in congress, I don’t have to work with those idiots. AOC made the correct political calculus that supporting biden/harris would give her more pull if they won and no loss of pull if they lost. it was win/win for her.

    If biden/harris lost, that reflects on their policies, not AOCs. if biden/harris won, she maintained a non-adversarial relations and could claim her support helped bring voters resulting in potentially more pull.

    It was our job to fuck over harris/biden and we did. sadly that means dealing with trump again. oh well.
