Bernie gets more amendments passed than just about anyone, and he isn’t even an actual democrat.
But he’s much more pragmatic than AOC and has shown he’s willing to compromise (and imo bend the knee) to center dems
I bet more people know her name than most any other house rep. Seems to me that her approach is to gain public support outside of the house rather than moving more center to compromise and get bills passed.
Name recognition doesn’t equate to public support. She is more of a celebrity than anything. A lot of her recognition is from centrists who retweet her Trump bashing but would never back her ideals.

Ok
This article is from 5 days ago...
From the interview
"I don't even know if I want to be in politics," she told The Times. "You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn't even know if I was going to run for re-election this year."

Interesting we didn’t keep this same energy for Obama when he was cockblocked by Republicons time and time again
Edit: also you didn’t answer the thread’s question. So I assume you agree she hasn’t accomplished anything yet? But that’s not her fault, at all?
Obama had 276 executive orders
how many can AOC make?
You're telling me the outspoken progressive who's openly challenged senior membership of her own party & is pushing for leftist policies hasn't managed to get anything passed?
That wild man. You really got one here

Nah you dont understand
She should simply look to pass bipartisan legislation she may not herself support

Of course..
She should fall in line by voting as her party does. Forget offering a critique of the DNC's current platform & pushing them to adopt legislation that would actually aid their base

Or being a stubborn drama queen who’s in it for the fame will never actually impact anyone’s livelihood while she makes well over 6 figures

What type of boots do dems lick?
10 million Twitter followers ain’t nothing to sneeze at
10 million onlyfans subscribers soon too

Lmao all you idiots do is yell “neoliberal”, “bootlicker”, and “shill” when in reality all we want is meaningful legislation to actually get passed
Not everyone has the luxury of pretending that politics are a sport

I too want meaningful legislation to get passed, I'm just wondering why you're coming at AOC's neck when it's clear she's fighting an uphill battle.
And look at you assuming my privilege
So basically she’s accomplished the same as the average poster in this section?
Idk man. Synopsis seems pretty accomplished.

And what is this supposed to show?
We know boomers in DNC would rather ban LGBT marriages to get republican votes than to thank a socialist progressive for helping them get the votes of minorities and young generation
She was seen as an enemy INSIDE HER OWN party
her feeling bad in this situation is normal and it's not like she was publicly going against them for 6 months
This whole convo just proves her point
It's hard getting things done if you're in the house but she has proposed great legislation. It's just Congress is built to get nothing done

WE WANT THINGS PASSED
I DON'T CARE WHAT
I WANT IT PASSEEEEEEEEEEED
Dude... She's obviously fighting like 1:100. Your rants only prove her point.
She wants to push ideas that go against rest of the boomers and she'd rather have zero things passed than break, sell out and pass something she doesn't believe in. And that only shows how strong she is, not how lazy she is.
I'd rather have one AOC with zero things passed but fighting for what she (and her supporters) believe in
Than a corrupt boomer who got voted in bc he was saying A and than he is doing B bc it's "popular"
Like... here are the facts
1. She's a rookie
2. She is a progressive socialist
3. bc of point #2 80% of her own party won't back her ideas
It's not like she doesn't try... It's just that if you want to pass something that will get 10% approval rate bc you're talking with boomers who don't share your views you won't get it passed
What do you want her to do?
Pass some random s*** she doesn't believe in just so that it looks like she's doing SOMETHING?
that's stoopid
KTT's irrational love for numbers goes beyond album sales I see...
