I’ve even seen ML’s critique her for this as well. I’m kinda confused at what they want her to do in an institution they say you can’t change much in.
I hope they are building a movement to counteract this problem that they are necessarily wrong about.
Accelerationism isn’t a thing, and while it would be great if government were helping its own people, improving the material conditions of people is important.
You’re right in your last bit - don’t ignore suffering. The whole point of leftist thought stems from improving conditions for those who need it.
Additional though - creating mutual aid networks and removing complete dependence on a failed government by creating local networks is a net good. Without these kinds of parallel support networks everyone I dont think there can be resilience for us during a big political change.
Exactly. I think it’s a safe assumption the they’re social democrats at best, and if you make it then you must also realize there are severe limits to what they might organize. At that point you can decide to stop paying them mind, or judge them based on the role they have taken on. Personally, I think raising money for aid outside of electoral campaigns is just about the best use of her national profile within those bounds, because not only is she a succdem but she’s s succdem in a completely hostile legislative house.
is among us really that bad? its very fun with a good lobby
league bad though
Actually, it’s bad when elected officials do good things on their own time and how dare AOC
What do these people want AOC to do?
Anything that improves the aesthetics of the Democractic party without actually improving the material conditions of anyone.
Unironically, AOC becoming a full time twitch streamer would be a better use of her time then remaining an isolated representative of a useless and hostile government
Imagine her raising $200,000 a day, that’s serious dough for any nascent left movement, she’d make Hasan look like a blip
Imagine her raising $200,000 a day
This is a silly take. She only has her notoriety as a result of the political process, and to project a one-off fundraising project as if it’s an everyday replicable thing doesn’t square.
Exactly my thoughts. What do you think the average house rep does? Fucking around and playing video games is objectively a better thing than that.
