I fully understand that AOC is not perfect but she’s doing a hell of a lot more than the podcast grifters are.

Some stupid austerity provision Pelosi loves. The House can’t pass a bill with new spending unless you pay for it immediately. It exists entirely because Pelosi likes it; the progressives finally won repealing it.

I haven’t told you anything about that so far, so I don’t get why you would expect me to tell you more about that.

Honestly it’s pretty telling how dismissive this site is to the fact that AOC has received consistant harrasment from the likes of Jimmy Dore who flat-out lied and attempted to take credit for AOC being elected in the first place! Jimmy Dore deliberately misled his audience by attempting to pin AOC as some sort of traitor over a difference in strategic planning, and the fact that this site has dismissed AOC’s concern out-right (even though I do agree that the way she phrased it was very Metropolitan and out of touch) neglects that at the end of the day she is still a human being; redirect your hostility and vitriol towards something more productive than just shitposting on twitter and trying to dunk on AOC to seem cool.

A politician got yelled at by a talk-radio show host.

I really could not care less.

The entire Chapo coverage of the Bernie campaign was bullying Democratic candidates.

There’s a large difference between harrasing, imo when its not comradely critiquing someone but vindicatively trying to tear them down (through a targeted campaign by Dore to opportunistically try and take credit for, and thus discredit, the work of many organizers who collaborated to help AOC win her seat) who wants the same end-goal as you (M4A) but differ on specic tacitics, and the Chapo’s roasting of someone like Joe Biden who has never been in allignment with AOC for the same end-goal of M4A. This whole situation has not really made any side look particular well, but the concession made by the Dems recently to forego the PayGo imo has made it more opportunte time to advocate for the Force the Vote and the whole Dore controversy has distracted from this end.

This is literally the same line Warrenites used when she got called out in the primary.

By demanding they withhold their vote for Pelosi? It is a targeted campaign to get them to do something.

Organizers help elect unaccountable politicians all the time. There are people who do not trust AOC.
