“What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”
I mean somewhat. Not nearly as threatening as Ro Khanna though. Someone also who has shown faaaar better political instincts. Ro might be a bit more boring and not as pretty, but they are FAR better at the game compared to AOC, who is a bit of a B student in her class.
It’s the unforced errors she keeps piling up that give me the most pause.
Oh, you’re not a serious person. Got it, sorry for wasting my time
I guess you just don’t really follow progressive politics.
Go away shill
Who am I schilling for?
Fascism is what it sounds like. Have the day you voted for
What the FUCK are you hallucinating?
AOC has genuinely bad political instincts as a critique of some one who got outflanked in the left by the likes of MTG and because I think the person has work to do, that makes me a fascist?
Just go through and reread this thread and rethink where you are at.
The only people siding with MTG over AOC here are not progressives
No ones siding with MTG in the issue. But AOC allowed herself to get outflanked from the left on the issue of finding weapons to Israel. Eventually AOC got on the right side of it all, but Ilhan Omar and the rest of the progressive bloc didn’t get out flanked by MTG, just AOC did.
Why is that acceptable to you? That AOC couldn’t take a committed stance against funding weapons to Israel? Eventually she got to the right position, but not getting it right to begin with speaks to her political instincts, and they aren’t good.
