Again or is this the same event from yesterday?

ss…senpai… where did you go?

Harris under this same purity test now suddenly is saying the left should work with fascists because there is common ground.

Harris introduced legislation to defund Israel? When did I miss that?

100% and my view of this threads is just the hogs eating it up.

AOC was wrong with her votes and her making this about MTG instead of about stopping genocide: its not gonna work.

Yeah this doesn’t really excuse AOC’s poor positioning on Israel while a genocide was happening. This is a complete strawman on AOC’s part and the hogs are just eating it up. And thats a problem because instead of working to improve her own political instincts on this issue, she’s enlisting a terminally online army of sportsfans to white-knight for her.

The fact is AOC did bad on Israel and funding Israel while a genocide was happening. A blind dog like MTG finding a bone eventually has no bearing on AOC doing very poorly on these issues. And judging by the ratios in this thread, the hogs have spoken.

I think the question becomes “Why are Virginia Democrats defying the will of Virginia voters?”, considering Virginian voters said they wanted this.

I just want you to know how much I appreciate you as a fan and supporter

It’s fine, I don’t mind supporting or interacting with fans

Bruh you responded to me. You could just go about your merry way but you pd won’t allow it.

When you enjoy what you do, it’s not work.

And I think you’ve developed a personality disorder.

What did you get banned for being a gif hating loser in the other thread? I would never report you for being that kind of a loser; it’s far more fun to just mock you relentlessly when you have a psychological moment like that. Which was truly fun and brightened my day, so I do want to say thanks and I appreciate your participation. It was probably some one who agreed with me on how silly you were being that reported you. I would never do that, it’s far more entertaining to have you staying in the game.

For your participation yesterday, I sincerely appreciate it:

Now, into the comment at hand…

You can be and should be a critic of me but you should also have the charity to take my arguments on their face. I think AOC is mid among current progressives and I’ve outlined why several times in this thread. I can reiterate those points if you like and we can take it from there.

Explain how.

Well they need to get out and start doing media now. Regardless, a successful candidate is going to have to out in hundreds of hours in front of cameras and developing a level of comfort and ease of answering questions that only comes with practice and putting in the hours. It’s also one of my biggest critiques of AOC. She also hasn’t/isn’t putting in the reps in terms of media cycles. When they do, it’s very controlled and brief.

I phone banked for her in her 2018 campaign.

She has work to do, because if she ran right now, she’d get eaten alive.

Notice that AOC doesn’t do very many hard interviews, and that when she gets a question asked of her that she isn’t prepared for, she stumbles.

AOC has been basically absent from leftwing media while plenty of other very solid progressives are out there putting in reps doing hard interviews in combative environments. AOC doesn’t do that and is only does very controlled media opportunities. That’s not good for someone who wants to be president. I don’t think she’s done the time like others have to be able to weather a primary.

What can?

I don’t know if they’ve got the political instincts. Too many times AOC ends up in unforced error territory.
