Kind of makes you mad at all of the wait until the election and then push Biden to the left people, but, whatever, accept the things you can’t change…change the things you can.

You have about 1000 likes telling people to grow up and stop even saying bad things about these people. Now you’ll get a 1000 more telling people Democrats suck. Oh well. Good for you.

If she started a party called “The workers party” or something it would be a hit right off the bat.

It is entirely consistent to think defeating Trump was worth almost any ideological sacrifice while also being disgusted by the Democratic Party.

There’s only going to be about 230 Ds in the House next term. I think there are about 95 members of the house progressive caucus. Just keep primarying moderates in safe districts.

When Dems lose, they blame toxic Bernie Bros even though they were reliable votes for Queen Hillary as the moderate Republicans Dems were courting broke for Trump. When Dems win, they blame toxic Bernie Bros who were reliable votes for Sleepy Joe when the moderate Republicans Dems were courting broke for Trump. Instead, how about a motherfucking THANK YOU, bitches? I’ll wait.

Yeah the moderates started this immediately after the election was over. AOC didn’t fire the first shots, they did. And after her people got all of the reluctant leftists to vote for Biden. Really gross.

The greatest trick Nancy Pelosi ever pulled was convincing damn near the entire caucus that opposing her would actually have negative consequences.

Your ideological sacrifice was telling people to STFU on Unstuck Politics?

First time I saw AOC was before her election at the Left Coast Forum where the DSA was the absolute most mainstream conservative group present. She was supposed to be there in person, but had only recently gotten famous and just did a video feed. Otherwise she’d have been right there next to various flavors of revolutionary communists and anarchist.
Of course the right wing of the party is shitting on the Left. Can we quit calling them centrists for once? Their austerity politics is pure right wing argle bargle, they’re just as far right as Reagan and further right than Nixon ffs. Just without the open bigotry. So yeah, AOC’s success is a threat to them and they act accordingly.

Yeah. They are the bad guys and not on our side. However we also need to suck it up in the face of actual fascism. Sucks. But it is what it is.
The revolutionary communists I know supported Bernie.

I think the revolutionary commies I know voted for Biden also. Pretty sure about one of them. I’ll check when I see them.
Because she has just been killing it that hard in the last few weeks. That post is #4 all time in that subreddit. Top 3
All just from the last two weeks. The fact this is a subreddit, and all top posts are just from the last two weeks, just shows, man AO fucking C
Attacking people isn’t moving anyone to the left. In no world is what she’s doing 1) persuasive or 2) politically anything but a disaster
A better question is how am I not subscribed???

Yeah perhaps let’s all stop believing mainstream Democratic narratives about what works. It’s very obvious they have no idea.
