So you're saying she should resign her seat or start a fire on the house floor or something? It doesn't make a lot of sense.

The Squad has failed in the past because there are literally a handful of them. You can't only be obstructionist, we see the limits of that strategy at the opposite end with idiots like Marjorie Green hurting themselves because they're too dumb to understand how to navigate the political landscape, so they just end up out in the cold.

I'd much rather have someone like Ocasio-Cortez leveraging funding and climbing the power structure than have someone who sits there and isolates themselves politically yelling anarcho-communist slogans or w/e.

There's a reason AIPAC is spending millions to unseat progressives, including the squad, and it's not because they see those progressives as "part of the system". It's because they are a threat.

I'm suspicious of your motives here.

I am not saying anything on what AOC should do.

People have mentioned to her face and to the Justice Democrats on what they can do to improve and fight for real change, they do not listen and are already just like all the other status quo Democrats, just looking at their voting record.

I am not a Democrat, I am pretty sure you are a Democrat (and a support of them) so that is where we differ a lot on the way we look at politicians and the gov't as a whole.

I am on the left, Democrats are just Republican-lite, the duopoly does not want change they are for the status quo.

I hope this helps you understand a bit more when it comes to people that are critical of politicians from the left.

Again I am not a part or support the duopoly, I would be to your left or 'far' left.
