This is why I'm still very much for AOC, as much as people try to talk about her "selling out" because she doesn't push some particular idea hard enough constantly.

There are very few others in power who will actually criticize the party behavior this plainly. That still has a lot of value, whether you agree with her on every issue or not.

Party strategy and leadership needs to change and the start of that is actually changing the framing. What we have right now with the Democrats is loser bullshit that's not up to the challenges we're facing from the far right.

So she'll be the US President at some point?

I can't vote out the career politicians who don't give a shit about me because the other career politicians that don't give a shit about me are worse.

Can't vote for a human because the wrong lizard will win and all that.

This is just an anecdote but word came down from the c suite today to start getting all our ducks in a row and make plans for huge tariff increases next year.

I work in a fairly liberal leaning industry too. The bosses see the writing on the wall for Biden. The last time this happened we upped our prices on everything regardless of country of origin. Market segmentation and pricing strategy is a thing and this will affect prices for all goods.

When we say "politicians who don't give a shit about you", does that include 80+ year old men who are willing to throw our democracy away as long as they do their "goodest job"? All because they are addicted to power and can't imagine a world where someone is more electable than they are, despite overwhelming statistical evidence to the contrary?

And when we say "career politicians", does that include people that were elected to the Senate 60 years ago when they were in their 20s?

It's #Joever. Time to accept it and move on. Bending over backwards to defend him doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a useful idiot.
