Same reason as Bernie Sanders, they’re outnumber in every way shape and form, but Bernie and the Squad, for all the cringe shit they do did more to foster a leftist bloc in America moreso than SA, PSL and CPUSA combined, even if they aren’t leftist themselves. I know this sounds like some 4D chess shit but we wouldn’t be having this coversation had Bernie not stepped up to run for president back in 2015.

Sure, but those gains largely came from using their platform, which is also the extent to which I think electoralism is useful as a tactic. Which is exactly why I would like AOC to publicly oppose shit like this.
Fair point, but people memory-holed the Israel shit from a couple months ago pretty quick, why now people are “drawing a line in the sand for AOC” is just… stupid. Your all going to forget and AOC will retweet a Robert Reich tweet about inequality and everyone will forget why they were mad in the first place.

I really don’t care much about what AOC says or does because I don’t expect a lot from her or expect her to be able to effect a lot of change. It has been clear that she’s a Soc Dem that is committed to working within the existing party apparatus, a la Bernie Sanders. She is what she is.
