*advancing her career

This is about AOC losing her bid for the Oversight committee to a geriatric Dem lifer. Sure she has systematically shredded any last bit of credibility with her triangulation, but hey, at least all the 5D polítical chess is paying off! She’s changing the system from the inside! It’s working this time!

Girl, you abandoned any pretense of doing working-class mass politics when you decided to do insider politics! Why are you tweeting like Bernie Sanders circa 2012? There’s no we! There’s no mass movement behind you! It’s just NYC DSA and some Warren libs (but I repeat myself)

    You’re expectations of her are not couched in reality. You’re blaming her for the actions of others. She literally has zero pull in congress.

    So why should we care about electing anybody in the US?

    Let me know when you do something actually effective. last I checked you havent murdered any CEOs or won any political office. Of the two of you, AOC is far more effective at accomplishing her goals. sucks to suck I guess. Too bad that history you’re trying to flout is worth less than the bits its encoded by.

      If she has zero pull in congress, then why does it matter how she uses her position? If the rest of congress can ignore her votes, why not vote against zionism, genocide, or the military industrial complex?

      You’re contradicting yourself.

      She literally has zero pull in congress

      So, she’s not accomplishing anything is what you are saying now? Cool.
      I disagree, however. She has the same interests as your Bidens, your Trumps, your Sinemas, etc., and she acts on them, and not on the interests of the working class - in the US or elsewhere.

      Let me know when you do something actually effective

      Let me know when she does something actually effective for the working class. She couldn’t even keep Dementia Biden as the nominee so that he could disassemble your empire.

      last I checked you havent murdered any CEOs

      Neither has she. And she hasn’t acted against their interests as of yet in general.

      or won any political office

      Why is winning an office in a nazi government good?

      Of the two of you, AOC is far more effective at accomplishing her goals

      So would be people like Hitler, Washington, Leopold II. Do you want us to celebrate those genocidal slavers as well?

        I simply point you back to your lack of reading comprehension. ‘accomplishments’ does not mean you like what shes done. shes also never supported a genocide.

        So, she’s not accomplishing anything is what you are saying now? Cool.

        No, I said she has zero pull. that isnt the same thing as no accomplishments. thats an issue with the DNC not AOC. learn to properly direct ire.

          She literally voted to supply weapons to Isreal while condemning Hamas for fighting against a genocidal, settler, European colonial project. How is that not supporting a genocide?

          So, her accomplishments are directly adversarial to our goals, is what you are saying. And you want us to both believe that she has no power in the government and that we should support her.
          Riiiiiight.

          shes also never supported a genocide

          I have already cited your ‘source’ as saying that she did act directly in support for a genocide. She has literally taken action to imprison and otherwise suppress anti-genocide protestors.

          No, I said she has zero pull

          If she has no power, then her ‘accomplishments’ are not actually hers.

          thats an issue with the DNC not AOC

          She’s on the side of the DNC.

            This lib is likely a zionist and a lib, but too chickenshit to admit it, so they just sealion about leftists not understanding The Adults Adulting in the Room.

      I agree AOC is relatively effective at accomplishing her goals which is why we shit on her. Because her goals seem to be only to empower the Democrats to do evil things and provide them some cover. She is pretty good at that.

      However I don’t think merely accomplishing things is a good enough reason to support someone. The things they are trying to accomplish need to be worth accomplishing. I’m not just on whatever team I think is currently winning. what is something she has accomplished that I, or other communists, would like?
