I'm afraid to ask, but is there a reason you don't mention AOC?
She voted wrong on a single bill amendment that wasn't going to pass regardless of her vote. It's the stupid purity test bullshit.
Not really. I don't have any problems with her lol
I think it's worth propping her up as a leader with an actual constituency beyond the 1%. Bless Bernie for holding true and setting an example. He knows his star is fading but we will remember him.
He 's been going for such a long time, he honestly deserved to have been nominated over so many different people. Think of how much better the country would've been if he was nominated over Obama, Hillary, or Biden. He would've done better than any one of them. Our country could've existed without the influence of Trump on our everyday lives. We would have a politician that's willing to improve our country.
So if it wasn't going to pass regardless of her vote, doesn't that make it symbolically worse? Her vote had no real effect either way, despite that she chose to give 'defensive weapons' to a nation committing genocide.
Furthermore she barely does or says anything using her incredible momentum, especially since Pelosi gave her the talking to.
I'm not saying I dislike her, definitely a respectable figure, but don't pretend it's all purity test bullshit.
She folded her ambitions to the Democratic party elite, like most entryist candidates end up doing.
I don't blame her, I blame the party elites and donors, but she isn't immune from criticism... This isn't a fucking sports team
she said she would do more in congress than in the presidency.
That's fair, and still a leadership role imo, as is any ellected official from a mayor or DA to the highest office in the land.
