    What’s this theory? I think the system is transforming people like AOC because they probably realize you can’t get shit done when you’re outnumbered by hundreds. It’s not her fault change can’t come from within. But this doesn’t excuse her or anyone of condemning a genocide.

      I don’t remember a whole lot of specifics but I read an article someone posted on here looking into AOC’s career at Boston University (she interned for Ted Kennedy) and noting that her career as a bartender wasn’t particularly long. I think it’s mostly speculation but the idea that she picked up some establishment connections during her internship doesn’t seem very outre.

        I feel like more people should run on platforms that basically say “I can’t promise I’ll get what we want done, but I’ll fuck their shit up any way I can and be your eyes and ears in that cesspit. There will be no second term anyway”.
