Yeah, this ad-hominem attack of accusing dissidents of being too privileged for their voices to matter is the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

it is privileged to point out that no one in our representational government is working towards goals that will help working class people at the expense of people who live their entire lives in the lap of luxury. that every single thing that is decreed as law in our country has to have at least some concession that appeases the most well off among us, for those few decrees that are not an outright sweepstakes giveaway to them. that their ability to continue living an uninterrupted life of treating all other human beings as resources to be manipulated at will is prioritized over all other concerns, that it must be maintained at all costs. it is privileged to point that out.

yeah you’re a dumbass because you should never defend or explain anything to libs.

mostly because you don’t have to, tbh.

where is that aoc article quote from? if true, just lol. i had classified her, much like bernie, as someone with no spine broken by the party, but if that quote is true she's then just painting herself as the worst grifter. im not sure what her plan is with that: the left will hate her, and the centrists will see her as a liability

shes funny because shes far too stupid and lacking of self-awareness to understand that her role is to spew fascist propaganda, and actually genuinely believes that she's fighting for democracy and freedom with the power of the pen

Yeah she's one of the idiots that still thinks we are bringing Democracy to Iraq.

every progressive populist goes out like this

they start out making a big scene, realize they can't get anything done, and then start telling themselves that getting someone to shift their public position one notch to the left on the overton window is the first crack before the dam breaks

the hope is that AOC was an op, because if she was serious about this and ever meant anything she ever said, and this was still the outcome, America is truly doomed
