    I kind of cringe everytime someone goes off about some dumbass purity test for AOC. Like one of the most, if not the most, progressive politicians of my lifetime and jokers want to get mad at her because this one time she wasn’t progressive enough. Like how the fuck do people think you push politics in general to the left? By electing some middling democrat, or even a republican, because the progressive candidate wasn’t progressive enough? How does that make any fucking sense?

      I am convinced that at least some of that is from her competition in her own party who lean further right and republicans. Best time for a coward to attack is when your opponent is already down

        Bro, you don’t seem to understand. It’s only when the Red-Team supports genocide that it’s bad. When the Blue-Team supports genocide, it’s totally cool. Didn’t you see the last Presidential election?

        Go read what she voted for and not just news articles trying to make some purity fight on the left. Propaganda is working on you. Go look at her choices for the whole bill and see what actually happened. Rather than taking the headlines and people crying. Cause you cry about AOC but show me someone in America LEADIng better than her. Don’t get me wrong she isn’t perfect but if you can’t play chess and understand the value of all the pieces you should stick to checkers so you understand blue is your team and is better than red who is your opponent.

          I’m not saying she isn’t the best we’ve got. We’re just scraping the bottom of the barrel.

            New to this whole politics thing are you?

            First presidential I voted in Dennis Kussinich was the progressive candidate.

            AOC is the cream compared to the past… Always.
