Defund the police is still stupid slogan no matter how true the intentions are behind it. Same with abolish police.

Does she have no allies in the Dem party?

Nothing went wrong the Dems didn't motivate anyone they just ran on the "Hate Trump" slogan.

You need more then that to hype people no matter how many folks celebrating today.

and then lose her re-election my g

At this point, the only way you can change s*** is from the inside, that involves tryna play nice with the enemy while trying to incorporate some of your policies in. Some progressives lost but more got some seats too. Her just being there played a part in that.

She probably was just frustrated but she knows how much it means to that movement for her to just be there.

why do yall still say this my g lol

Lmfao

You need door knocking and people on the ground

Period.

Dems didn’t have that, they pulled back on it due to covid. it’s unfortunate but you absolutely 100% need door-knocking

Clown s*** cuzzo, police are overwhelmingly conservative (>80%) and you think these f***ers got the will of the people in mind when they "protect and serve"

No, you aren't going to change things from the inside in a system designed to swallow up radical change. If shes afraid of losing her seat and that's stopping her from offering up real critiques or taking more measures to use her influence, then she's self centered

"defund the police" is a stupid slogan.

How, when it says literally what they want to happen. NYPD costs 10 f***ing BILLION a year. Meanwhile MTA constantly got money problems. Meanwhile social programs still get shut down my g.

In reality her, ilhan, Bernie and the rest of the progressives should be supporting primary challenges to incumbents wherever possible

But if she fought back and lost her seat after offering critiques then she would STILL be self-centered cause then she "made it all about herself and not the party" my g.

Synopsis once again entering political discourse to only offer idyllic utopia scenarios while suggesting nothing can be done to fix anything and feeling smart about it

lmaoooo

@Synopsis coming up with the fastest way for progressives to instantly lose whatever little ground they had my g.

No. If they unsat her, unlikely in any event considering how popular she is in her district, then at least she went down for the cause

Yeah its gotta be a better way to sell that

You have a 5 year olds critical thinking skills if you think you can change this system from inside it lmao

"at least she went down for the cause"

I don't think we're in a position to rely on moral victories my g.

Really? Because right now all these election wins are just moral victories since they areht turning into meaningful legislation

AOC is dope...hope she sticks around

It's literally straight to the point my g

what better way would there be to sell that?

Take police guns away?

No. You trigger every gun nut within a 5 mile radius to Long Island.

Stop bringing armed police to mental checks?

No. You trigger every "but what if they are causing harm" nut that thinks every d***ged out homeless nigga with a pipe (like the shooting on Utica) or a knife is gonna be just like that miami nigga that ate homie face off?

Defund the police. Before this, a looooot of niggas aint know how unfairly lopsided the budget is for these police forces compared to other departments that...let's be real, are way more important to the welfare of the city and its people.

That's only cause we got a cancer in life form running the Senate.

If Georgia can get those 2 seats I bet you s*** change my g.

And even if not, Biden can just pull a Trump and pull an executive order. The Democrats made a vow after the Amy Barrett thing that they weren't gonna play p**** anymore. Will they hold on to their word? Well, I guess we gotta find out.

But it does help that we have some people within the party that are gonna at least try to call for accountability. I understand exactly why AOC don't just go on an IG Live drunk off whatever and just goes off on Nancy Pelosi's ass (even though, we all know she probably wants too)

i get that but ive witnessed the complacency from people like bernie and aoc for years and it's annoying

the democratic party was just begging progressives for their support before the election, now that they massively underperformed in the house and senate races they blame their "rhetoric" even though states like florida passed a $15 minimum wage while still voting for trump.

it's a straight up lie, but instead of pushing back against these lies she's threatening to quit politics after 3 days of slander...if you cant handle inevitable slander how tf are you supposed to get any of the causes you stand for done?

Motherfuckas just be upset sometimes man lol.

She aint gonna quit my g.
