I wonder why a campaign website wouldn't be a high priority one day after winning the actually important race, hm.

Anyway please forgive me for not being mad that she corrected a mistake once alerted to it.

tbf i think r guyovich is not mad and is instead saying "be careful"

I think that's fine, but the things being pointed out as reasons for caution are all baby bullshit stuff while the actual reason for caution, "She's going to be a Democrat in Congress," is blindingly obvious.

I'm also a bit frayed because the local ultras have been obnoxious for the past week with their "DSA is killing Rosa again by liking a Democrat!" jealousy takes so.

being skeptical is good. the amount of people who want to put her on a pedestal and run her for president or whatever is crossing over into hero worship. she’s got good policies but still has to go to congress and make some good votes and show that she won’t just start compromising values when faced with the potential to sell out.

If you're going to assume that literally everyone is going to compromise and become a poo poo, yea I could see why you wouldn't bother getting excited.

The rest of us normal people are gonna still be happy that a loving DSA member got elected to the goddamn Congress.

I am excited though! just that declaring her the ultimate hope of leftism in America seems a bit premature when she hasn’t even cast a vote.

She will probably have a similar experience to Bernie giving her working class background and also going through things like a near foreclosure experience.

Bad dems in congress can't be trusted since they are members of the millionaire class.

Remember when ACORN had an obvious hit job done on them by a clearly disingenuous actor who was obviously lying about what he did and saw, and when the unedited tapes got shown ACORN people were actually acting very virtuous and often times risking their own safety and comfort to do the right thing, but the dems rushed to condemn and defund them anyway

Remember when that one lady told a story about how knowing the history of how badly black farmers got hosed over made her at first not push as hard as she could when helping white farmers, but then she realized that they were all being attacked by the same forces and she not only became a tireless advocate for them but also a lifelong friend, and Obama fired her cause Fox freaked the gently caress out

I mean, it seems their family bought their house in 1995, real estate was dirt cheap back then... that's like a 700 sq ft house if i'm being generous. I doubt they paid more than 100k for it.

Hmm a family that had a house in 1995 recently had their daughter, a college grad, have to bartend to keep the family afloat because the mother was dealing with cancer

I wonder what could be radicalizing about this

glad to see at least one person is willing to lay out the facts, speak truth to power, etc., in this godforsaken loony leftist echo chamber. crowley was both pragmatic and a patriot, a guy with the qualifications necessary to get things done. i bet if you asked him how he could actually accomplish his goals, he'd be armed with al lthe details, including the numbers (#quantwin), that his staffers or thinktank wonks prepared for him. that's the kind of poo poo we need rn. for those reasons, AOC is bad and so is thinking she'll do a good thing
