    Honestly, good. The fact that elected officials can exist in the world without any consequences for their actions is one of the most frustrating parts of our society. Sorry AOC, no movie for you while you support genocide

      Politicians in America especially Democrats are elected by taking entire policies hostage and being like “If you don’t elect me then the republicans will take away your right to exist” then proceed to do nothing to actually protect the policy until it gets taken down and then they go “If you don’t elect me then the republicans will take away your right to exist but worsely”.

      I’m definitely not defending her, but she’s doing this to avoid getting primaried again. Amerika has a billion little ways to maintain control of things.

      (Edit: I’m not saying that avoiding a primary is worth it to ignore mass murder)
