“Except that never happens”
She voted against cutting funding for Israeli weapons lol. It already happened.
Give her a break, she only wanted to fund defensive weapons to the genocide state. Every country committing genocide has a right to defend itself!
Every. Bloody. Time.

American social democrats are amazing creatures. A little over a century ago the Zimmerwald left ruptured with social democracy and the social democrats proceeded with a simple message: rights for workers and nationalism-lite. This message was wildly popular with the working class throughout almost all of Europe and many of these parties remain powerful even to this day.
In America however, we had Samuel Gompers. He and his cronies decided the unions wouldn’t have a political party. This meant that social democrats had basically no constituents here and they never emerged. To this day they still don’t really exist in any meaningful sense. Yet some people still pretend they are social democrats for whatever reason as if that means anything in the US context. They pretend they have independent political views when in reality they just toe the Democratic party line. Nobody knows why they do this. They don’t get any clout or power from it and they never seriously act in a way that would build power to implement their ideas. They get spit on by every side of the political debate and for what? To post tweets like this? Incredible.
There’s a lot of essays about the political death cults movements, but not enough about political cuckold cult movements
I feel it worth tagging on that any political movement/party that doesn’t address climate change is a political death cult.
It’s hard to call it a betrayal when a little research into AOC’s past makes it pretty obvious she was always a careerist and never cared about socialist ideals. The whole “down to earth working class waitress” image she runs her campaigns on is a complete facade, she tried to be an entrepreneur after college and ran a startup private firm that failed after a year before deciding to go into politics by learning to grift as a radlib.
Most people don’t know this because AOC has completely erased this inconvenient part of her history from official biographies, and I imagine Mike doesn’t either, but I bet he’ll still defend her even if he found out anyway because he’s just another socdem in my eyes.
I do agree with Mike on his last point, she consistently has the best record of promoting US imperialism, supporting genocide, and deflating revolutionary sentiments.
having even a top 10 record in congress is a bar so low that it’s in a secret second mystical realm that acts as a hell to regular hell.
