Is AOC as good as Sanders? Honest question
She is very smart and moral. Thats why the right hates her
I've started doubting her since she voted to make a railroad strike illegal, which essentially pulls the teeth from their union. Pro-worker indeed.
I feel like she's more of a pragmatist while Sanders is firm and staunch in his ideology. AOC will bend the knee to the Party when she realises she needs to in order to get what she wants, but only just enough so that they don't hate her guts. Sanders had the luxury of being able to raise the middle finger to the Party because they knew they had to suffer him anyway owing to his huge popularity among the left. Sander's popularity allows him to remain ideologically pure. AOC doesn't have the power.
Sanders has the donors and support from 50+ years of service.
AOC needed to do something to gain party support while she builds her national support network.
We're about to find out.
No, she's another sheepdog
what's it like being part of the problem?
Ask yourself in the mirror. Liberals demanding protection for the status quo are the problem
aoc wants status quo? that's a daft implication.
What's it like believing that this time you'll kick that football for the hundredth time?
Related question: how many times does someone have to tell you who they are before you believe them?
They will never learn because they will always excuse the behavior of Lucy pulling back the football. 'The parliamentarian made me do it.' 'Semina did it again', etc. they always have someone else to blame for their ineptitudes
