    I’ve been saying this for years.

    Unhappily, there are plenty of people who will swear the AOC is as bad as Schumer because has gone along with the Party.

      I’ve seen people say this, but literally never actually see it.

      Where are you seeing this so often?

        I’ve been ranting about the grass roots electoral movement in thie Knock Down The HOuse documentary for years. That whole “Regardless of how you feel about AOC” I stipulated is from years of people missing the point and focusing on her instead of the grassroots movement that got her elected.

        The knee jerk hate for AOC is real

          I legitimately don’t know what that means, but I’m pretty sure it’s not a place…

          Republicans and neoliberals, sure. But Obama did fine without them too.

          Doesn’t matter what mainstream media says about her, they said the same shit about Obama because they were exaggerating. They can’t say anything new at this point.

      For real, there are thousands if not millions of people who could do just as good a job if not better than AOC.

      Harry Truman was considered a loser by his peers, and literally became president because the GOP Old Boys club wanted to prove their influence could put anyone even a paper boy into the white house.

      Americans need to mirror that capability and build local electoral machines that can primary ineffective leaders.
