meh AOC is a politician and she's intentionally trying to take over or split the Dems. If there was some awesome upstart red tribe politico who was insanely popular and failed to support RINOs until they get serious about, say, the 2A and budget, we'd cheer, right?https://twitter.com/neontaster/status/1216011316919439362 …

2/ Her argument is "progressivism is good; it helps the little people. The establishment Dem party is DINO, and they just support the rich. Look at those corrupt F-ers like Hillary and Pelosi. You're damned right I'm not going to support THEM; Imma refor this and do it right".

3/ And, if we put aside the object level discussion of whether progressivism is good or not (it's not ; it's terrible), she has a coherent argument and a very good strategy. So ... crapping on her for not paying party dues is bad analysis.

4/ I was arguing w some redtribe friends yesterday who insisted that AOC, Pelosi, Warren, etc are all either (a) fully corrupt and can't believe a word of their own politics, or (b) so stupid that they do. It's insanely r*tarded to underestimate your political enemies thusly.

ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs @MorlockPReplying to @neontasterwell, define "mandatory" ? I'd suggest that things are as mandatory as the enforcement mechanism makes them. The speed limit is mandatory if a cop is on patrol, optional otherwise. If AOC can avoid paying wo repercussion, then it's just a suggestion.1 reply 0 retweets 7 likesShow this thread -

6/ If AOC signed a contract saying that in event of X she'd do Y, with enforcement mechanism Z, then, yes, questions about payback are relevant. Aside from that, though, this is about POWER not about RULES or FAIRNESS.https://twitter.com/Sherlockian42/status/1216014870832746496 …

Replying to @MorlockP
And for all my disagreements with her, it's extremely clear she understands that and is playing the game that exists. Meanwhile, much of the D establishment is still unclear on the existential differences between a fencing match and a knife fight.
