    Et tu, AOC?

    I agree with much of what AOC has to say, but not this. I’ll bet significant money if Biden remains the nominee that we will lose, unfortunately.

    (lol whew there is some serious vote manipulation going on around these parts. I hope admins begin implementing some safeguards soon).

      In a repeat of 2016, we found the most beatable candidate in the Democratic Party and ran that person for President. sigh

      There is a strong contingent of Blue MAGA on Lemmy. Anything even remotely critical of Our Dear Leader gets trashed, your account gets reported, and people spill out of the woodworking insisting that you are on the personal payroll of one Mr. V. Vladimirovich Putin or possibly the insidious Hand of the Dragon Himself, CCP Supervillain Xi Jinping.

      AOC has been increasingly aligned with the Democratic Party elite these days. My guess is she’s wants to run for senate someday and needs to appear loyal to the people who could make or break her campaign. That said, I do think the kind of insider politics she seems to be engaging in is a betrayal of the progressive values she once held.
