And they obviously hate socialism, or any hint of it, for obvious reasons, but the economic messaging needs to be different for them, imo. Or at least carefully approached.
Wait, so she’s literally wearing progressive policy as a fashion item now? Are we just not doing subtlety anymore?

Let yesterday (because it’s 12:40 here) mark the day AOC was No True Leftisted.

I’ve been waiting for this moment with almost as much excitement as those waiting to get her.
Nobody is waiting to get her. It is a good thing to criticize politicians you like when they do something you don’t like.
Pointing out that the forum lefties aren’t members of some cult of personality surrounding Bernie or AOC isn’t the gotcha that you think it is.

Not sure if this was directed at me, but I wasn’t referring to the “forum lefties” (isn’t the forum basically all lefties?), but the happy to eat their own Twitter warriors, etc.
It was at both you and iron, but it sounds like I misunderstood where you were coming from

The three of you are children unable to grapple with the moment in general or with any of the criticism levied at the congresswoman, so you retreat to memes and hide behind tribalist bs to make yourselves feel better

Dunno how I feel about AOC stuff. I get the critisisms, but I also get the defending her points.
It’s obvious just being Bernie isn’t enough and you need to do something to break into the main stream. I don’t know if this helps but I know progressives gotta try something

Apparently there was a huge spike in people googling “tax the rich,” that alone gets me into the “that was good” camp, it’s almost incomprehensible how unaware of anything normal people are.

yeah reddit reaction to the aoc thing is mixed IDK. My impression is its not a bad thing for someone in her shoes to do but only if its true that her ceiling is NY house rep… which it probably is.
This is obviously correct. The country is racing toward ethnofascism and people are complaining that AOC is not left enough.

A ton of leftists fell for the Jimmy Dore bullshit lol. They’re spending all their political energy protesting AOC/Squad lmao. It’s honestly sad how easy it is to confuse people and have them fight each other than the real enemy.
Meanwhile Jimmy Dore is out here pushing ivermectin… like come on you fucking idiots nobody pushing ivermectin is actually on the left.
He also only attacks women, Sam Sedar calls him out constantly and he ignores it but attacks his co-host Emma.
I definitely think there is a lot of sexism still on the left, and not like the kind here where its subtle and we’re working on it, but full blown big mad sexism.

I’m aware, I was speaking of that specific group because it’s pretty huge.
I have no problem being critical of AOC, but I do think it’s a problem when you invest serious energy going after her instead of shitlibs. The squad is far from perfect but they’re the best we got and we should encourage that and try to get more of it

Country is racing toward ethnofascism and people are posting on internet forums can you believe it?

If that was aimed at me I didn’t say anything about people posting on forums lol. I’m mostly talking about the jimmy dore types who do protests outside her house and donate to primary her and spend hours every day on social media bashing her etc.
I don’t think anything on this forum really matters. Social media is a different beast though
