I’m intrigued to hear people’s perspective on this Twitter thread I linked above
Bullshit. She has put forth legislation that hasn’t passed. How is that an indictment against her
Her entire career really comes down to being a prominent Bernie supporter and slamming Trump in the media
This is bukkshit

This is bullshit
This is bullshit
That’s pretty much all she has done in her short time as a representative/leading up to it
So obvious and desperate what this thread is trying to accomplish lmao please try harder
Imagine blaming progressives for getting nothing done 😂. Such short sided way of looking at politics.
Y’all got realize AOC is the assassin (an effective one too) for the squad. Tlaib and Omar run the squad with logics tho
You typed all that out for what lol
Great discussion @op glad you started it and glad you're open to other povs
She made it okay for people to think you deserve everything for free with no effort. Queen of the “gold star for everyone” mentality.

Are you saying she put no effort into her "success" or are you against socialism?
Both cases you're ignorant af so I don't really care

The country is literally fall apart but pull yourself from the bootstraps
Niggss are so against doing anything, they aint even sharing money for road construction
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?
Because Obama had a Dem senate and house for his first two years and f***ing wasted it
She's very clearly helped spear head the progressive movement to the mainstream and actively represents political interests of some of the youngest/working class demographics. Solid accomplishment alone so far. Considering there aren't many breaking the mold like she is.
I mean, criticize her for her policies or whatever sure. But she’s one of like 5 progressives there. Clearly she’s not gonna have a huge # of bills passed
There are 95 members of the congressional progressive caucus in the house, so it's not "like 5," but she is still outnumbered by centrist dems who have a plurality.
Interesting take 🤔
So when someone is fighting for their ideology but big money is stopping them from doing anything they are suddenly unproductive lazy and it'd be better if they just quit?
Interesting interesting 🤔

AOC is pushing for actual change. It’s crazy how democrats hate on her as much as conservatives 😐
AOC could make seven figures on only fans and pump that back into the economy and help the homeless.
AOC top 2 to walk the earth and she def ain't two

Honestly I don’t hate her. I actually have really high hopes/expectations for her as a future politician. She could be very impactful, especially with her reach. But for someone with an economics degree, she needs to drop the socialism schtick. Actually, the left needs to just drop the term as a whole because folks like AOC don’t actually want socialism, they want Nordic Model-esque capitalism and with that kind of messaging you can’t win elections. And sadly, that is how you get s*** done in this country. You have to be able to win elections and be willing to work with folks who you don’t agree with 🤷♂️
