"pragmatism" in politics is also typically just another word for corruption, it plays off the liberal sense that being pragmatic and reasonable means doing horrible poo poo

d&d mods are defending rape by doing this by banning discussion that is topically relevant again to us politics to the point the victim published an op-ed about it

they wouldn't ban discussion if it was about anyone not on team blue raping

the problem with these posts is that if you sub out the name "AOC" with "Hillary" and pretend it's 2015, they make exactly as much sense

AOC is, of course, much better than Hillary, and the RT thing was again clickbaity and misleading, but if you find yourself arguing for pragmatism and being realistic instead of screaming online, you should realize what you sound like

The same people turning on AOC are the ones who spent the last four years talking about how better things weren't possible and Dems were going to get obliterated in 2020, etc. AOC is starting to focus more on actually helping people rather than posting incoherent screeches online about how Dems bad, and that is ruffling some feathers.

I'll make this easy for you since you seem to be too thick to actually grasp the point.

70s era Soviet Anti Racism Propaganda not lying about racism in the US = Good and serving a positive purpose

2021 Tweet lying about AOC protesting an empty parking lot = Bad and serving a negative purpose

I'll make this easy for you also:

If you want to argue that we should disregard the tweet because it is lying about what AOC did, do that

People are making GBS threads on you because instead you were coming off as though we should disregard the tweet purely because it was coming from RT

Because obviously RT is not the only media platform that is capable of lying about things

it is a goddamn miracle that the Dems didn't get obliterated in 2020

if his absolutely disastrous COVID response didn't cause Trump's first term to completely derail right at the end, there's no way he would have lost to a campaign as completely anemic as Joe Biden's, and even with a quarter-million dead Americans Biden just barely limped over the finish line

I think if you are trying to tell me the Dems are in fact good you are posting in the wrong thread

AOC hasn't given up fighting - she was vocal about $2000 checks being $2000 checks and being paid monthly. She still wants M4A, but lying to voters and saying you'll get it if you vote in the GA races would be incredibly stupid. Of course, people aren't talking about M4A right now though, it's not possible to pass without getting rid of the filibuster, and that's a fight all of its own that is holding up a lot of good things. We're 2.5 weeks into Dem control and they're busy with the COVID relief bill, I'll worry about AOC a year from now when elections start heating up and see if she has backtracked from her biggest policy positions.
