      the mass politics of Met Gala couture! I know it's dumb to obsess over it but this is something unknown to human history before this decade. Something only a thoroughly brahminized, NGOified Left could even imagine, never mind executehttps://twitter.com/evanlweber/status/1437820691089403913 …

      Ppl’s reax to @AOC 👗 thing’s a pretty good barometer of who on the Left most values reaching the masses & who prioritizes purity politics. My cards on the table: disrupting elite spaces & hacking culture to get our message to more ppl absolutely rules & we should do more of it. https://twitter.com/_waleedshahid/status/1437761322263924737 …

      Talk about "disrupting elite spaces" is overkill but honestly don't see how AOC is a Brahmin or even NGO. Nor is actual Brahmin, NGO left really into "tax the rich" as a message.

          why is nobody mentioning that "tax the rich" is a 10+ month campaign with merch on her website & pretending like 'the dress' happened in a vacuum & on its own? it's step # whatever in an ongoing campaign of clothing that says "tax the rich," not a stand alone message

          one thing that is a little odd to me is how little the Bernie movement has embraced AOC or any of the younger progressive politicians in the party.

          It's because many of those supporters were primarily interested in Sanders as a left-wing anti-establishment figure rather than a reformist legislator

          don't really care that she went to the gala, but people trying so hard to defend that cringe dress being framed as a couture 'protest' by retconning it into effective left organizing are really going to places

          Exactly, there would be nothing to complain about if she just went, but trying to contort this display of decadence into a protest makes a mockery of the principles she claims to stand for
