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)

    Your reading comprehension is better than mine, thank u comrade :rat-salute: apologies for my poor interpretation, the coffee machine at Langley is broken today.

    Yeah I agree with you that’s a shit look. It reads like “we don’t need to make this endorsement to win, and we don’t feel the need to campaign against our incumbent who is going to win anyway”. But in the process wind up looking ambivalent to genocide.

    I feel like I can even see the logic where they’re like, “how she voted in this meaningless motion that was gonna overwhelmingly pass anyway has no real world impact,” but it’s like, if you’re not even gonna protest the sham votes, why are you there???
