      We will do so much worse. AOC lost a committee seat race to a guy with terminal cancer who is dead four months after taking the position.

      The people might love her, but the party hates her. AOC has no future in the modern Democratic party.

        Well… Yeah, that’s why we’re taking it over. What do you think all the tours and rallies are for? The fight is on, actual progressives and opportunity chasers are positioning themselves for it… It’s happening

        It’s tea party time

          Not that public visibility isn’t important, but if we don’t replace the people in the room choosing who the party gives all their money to, nothing is going to change.

            Of course - they certainly have to be replaced.

            That’s what the struggle over the dnc vice chair position is about - someone won who wants to use funds to primary representatives “asleep at the wheel”, so they’re pulling out procedural reasons to redo it

            There’s a plan… It’s not a sure thing, but it’s building a lot of momentum

        If the dinosaurs didn’t like AOC, they aren’t going to like Rep. Crockett either. And I love them both. Time to clean house of the old guard.

        The people might love her, but the party hates her.

        Not even after she voted to prevent the rail unions from striking? I guess she just was never gonna be a part of the big club no matter what ideals she compromised on.
