Put more mics on her!
Sure!
Following Saturday’s shooting, Ocasio-Cortez condemned political violence broadly and called the incident “horrific.”
“It is absolutely unacceptable and must be denounced in the strongest terms,” the congresswoman said. “My heart goes out to all the victims and I wish the former president a speedy recovery.”
“What I think the president does need to do is continue to lean in and move further toward the working class, and be more assertive in providing an affirmative vision for this country,”
Come on now, dont leave out the good bits and include the necessary for legal protection bits. No elected official can be like “How the fuck you miss!? Here! Try again!” You fucken nincompoop.
She’s asking neoliberals to step aside and let more progressives in. But neoliberals own the Democratic Party, and they will never give it up.
These diet conservatives suckle at the same billionaire teats as Republicans. They should be tossed on the same smoldering pile as other conservatives.
Well, they also owned the Republican party once, and magas/fascists took it over. That means progressives can take over the Democratic party.
No party lasts forever and these two have been way overdue. The way a new party becomes “one of the two” in the US’ 2-party system is either by building up a third party from the bottom up over many years, or by taking control and transforming one of the existing two, which is much faster, as we’ve seen.
Technically the fascist magas started in earnest in 2008 with the Tea party movement as a backlash to Obama, not succeeding to oust Obama in 2012, and taking 8 years to get to Trump. Progressives started in 2016 as a reaction to Trump, got Trump out in 4 years, and stopped the predicted “red wave” in 2022. We’re on track, let’s keep it going. Don’t give up.
A grassroots progressive takeover is much more difficult than a fascist takeover though. Fascists are always in bed with the oligarchy and get the money and media support.
Anyone who uses the term “Democrat Party” is someone whose opinion I ignore. Using “Democrat” as an adjective is not just grammatically incorrect, it’s also a pejorative that’s been used by conservatives for decades.
Make way
And not for nothing, this lady makes the meanest martini I’ve ever had
Listen to her
She should name names. We need to know who the collaborators will be.
She doesnt know who. She responding to a blind quote from Axios that was attributed to a “senior house democrat” that said “we have resigned ourselves to a second trump term.”
Democrats who believe they are insulated from reality by position or wealth can get fucked.
Seriously, to the politicians it’s just games and political maneuvering. They’ll sacrifice us to maintain their power. But eventually they’ll get taken out in a purge, too.
