    It’s worth watching the whole video, AOC is the type of politician that actually has a chance to have a party that represents the working class.

      I hope the Democrats can figure out before the last minute that she’s a really viable candidate for President.

        Most D’s are captured by most of the same corporations and oligarchs as the R’s. They will never allow a working class movement. Only corporate-whore lite.

          If so, they are in for hard wake-up call. Most corporations/oligarchs are rapidly shifting their allegiance to Trump. Those sweet donations will stop flowing to Dems.

            Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Dems are also shifting right: to capture back corporate donors, instead of listening to the wants and needs of their base.

            Welcome to Democratic neoliberalism.

          this “not pure enough to be purely really absolutely 100% air quotes left left” talk Is what helped Trump get in office. but I suspect you know that

            Jaysus, liberals should just admit that they themselves benefit from growing wealth inequality as much as the right does. Who are the ones who keep voting down to build affordable housing in proudly blue states, especially California and New York? Why should the working class vote for a party that make empty promises and giving only breadcrumbs?

                Yup, total in denial. Liberal policies has been “we’re not our opponent” instead of addressing housing crisis and job offshoring.

                If the liberals goes further left than they are now, then they shouldn’t complain why the Trump phenomenon exist. It says a lot more on liberal policies than on people in general.

        They know she’s popular enough to win a general election one day, just as they knew Bernie was. But the moderate crowd would rather lose with one of their own than win with a progressive

          Stop trying to play the gender card. We refuse to vote for a female president that legislates like a male neoliberal. They dont get preferential treatment because they are a woman.

      She’s is a fucking sheepdog, that’s all she is. Giving disenfranchised voters the illusion that if they stick around long enough, they too can have a seat at their table. She’s a snake in the grass that cannot be trusted.

              Your question would be directed at yourself and others like you. I’m not the one confused about which direction to go. My direction has never involved the duopoly.

                No, it was directed at you for the sake of discussion, not confusion. But your holier than thou attitude prevents you from speaking with others properly.

                  If I am viewed as holier than thou because I refuse to support the systems of oppression while also having to fight shitlibs defending it, then so be it.

          I’m with you. I mean I agree with their sentiment and I think AOC is the same as the rest. She is after all a part of the machine.

          That said, it’s worth distinguishing the difference between trust and hope. I always hope.
