Probably nothing, but figured it was worth a post.

Not until January. This shit is entirely lead by the current House leadership. They’re refusing to end the investigation over checks notes that time she wore a “Tax The Rich” dress to the MET Gala without paying $50k for a ticket.

That “Tax the Rich” dress was too damn commie!

The dress was nothing but a beard that allowed her (in her own mind) to excuse herself from participating elite society as one of their own. Nobody at the gala was offended by the phrase, they all knew she needs to fool the little people with bright lights and loud sounds. They’re all in the masquerade together.

AOC has been doing what Pelosi wanted 99% of the time, it would be hilarious if they kicked her out for being “too left wing”

she picketed and was a scab at the same time?

If I understand correctly there was a divide between teamster leadership and the actual striking workers, AOC picketed for the teamster leadership who pushed through an end to the strike without securing the demands of the striking workers, as well as without giving them monetary aid during the strike.

Thats what the twitter thread/comment seems to say at least.

She crossed the picket line by grabbing a sign and doing a few chants, and then quickly snuck across while everyone was distracted by a rousing chorus of “Which Side Are You On?”.

She’s a democrat though. Not a socialist fascist like Bernie sanders who supports brocialist labor

thing is too, she understands a lot of issues, especially for working class people as well as migrants. She has had so many interviews where she nails it, better than the vast majority of politicians we’ve had but then her voting record and shit just does not reflect her so called values. it’s truly mind numbing. When she first came on the scene I was excited that a young person who shared a lot of my views would be in congress and idk maybe like get some shit fixed but lol, all hope for her has died, especially her geopolitics are pure garbo
