Ocasio-Cortez spent at least $4.2 million on Facebook ads in 2019-2020. Almost all these ads simply solicit further donations in a kind of fundraising ouroboros. Her criticism of Facebook could carry more moral weight (at no cost to her!) if she didn't give them so much money.https://twitter.com/JohnHendel/status/1349369497145241605 …
