    I mean I hope she wasnt under the illusion that democrats were her allies

  • can’t say I’m surprised, politics especially rn is cutthroat as hell and she seems like she has too good of a heart for it. also with biden winning it seems like establishment dems are gonna be around for a lot longer

    "Externally, there's been a ton of support," she said, according to The Times. "But internally, it's been extremely hostile to anything that even smells progressive."

    The Bronx native said the Democratic party has been hostile to progressive causes, like Medicare for All and the Movement for Black Lives.

    She can do whatever she wants, it's her life. But you can't call for revolutionary action and then quit when the going gets tough.

    Of course these establishment Dems are going to blame leftists for their own faults. They've done this for decades now. They don't want change. They don't give a s*** about black folk, poor folk, Muslims, whoever. They only care about lining their pockets, winning against the Republicans, and keeping the US an empire. Did she expect anything different?

    Folks thought we won when Biden won the presidency. The actual war starts now. And it's not against those Republican dumbasses.

    Progressives are way too nice and not just in the US.

    I’ve yet to see a country where progressive politicians fight back against smears or party politics.

    It’s incredible.

    they just fall in line, beg for centrists to help them pass legislation and get crumbs, then when it's time for reelection all they're good for is suring up left-leaning voters for the centrist candidate because "unity". they're effectively controlled opposition

    I love AOC, but if she’s talking about this

    then she’s just in the wrong, sorry. Everything spoken here was facts

    AOC is running around saying House losses was because of a lack of twitter campaigns lol.

    Door knocking is absolutely vital to making swings in these races. Like literally the most important thing. it’s just tough to do right now in the middle of the pandemic

    Democratic party just needs honesty and openness atm about what they stand for

    The problem is if you go "too left" you risk not getting re-elected my g.

    It's damned if you do damned if you don't. Cause if she tried to just fight back against smears and party politics then she gets "Bernie'd" and turns into an enemy of the Democratic party 'nahmean?

    Yeah those are nonsense statements I agree but twitter campaigning wouldn’t have saved that race. Something went wrong
