    I'm not the first to say it but the mind-blowing thing about @AOC is how easily she dominates news cycles talking about radical policies, thereby exposing a generation of Democratic learned helplessness

        What’s mind blowing for this tired European is that Americans see this as radical. Many of these items are standard values of the European left. Keeping on going @AOC more power to your elbow!pic.twitter.com/JaSnm0rTKK

        Many of us don't. I just mean radical relative to what most of our politicians think is possible.

        Many are bought, but a lot of their defenders legitimately believe Nancy Pelosi or Barack Obama have done the best anyone can responsibly do. They're conditioned to triangulate instead of fight.

        It’s just corruption. We have to stop pretending it’s unintentional.

        I think there's some of both. They were traumatized by getting clobbered in the 70s and 80s and then got paid to be happy about it

        They had control of Congress throughout that entire period. They just decided they like money and power more than helping people and the political movements needed to keep them in check had completely atrophied.

        It’s not some accidental goof that Gillibrand went to kiss the rings of all the major Wall St. banks. They’re just in thrall to the same powers as the GOP.

        But her arguments are really stupid and her beliefs are based in stunning ignorance and lack of education — and anyone who is educated or knows anything finds the whole spectacle another embarrassment to the country, and a shocking Emperor Has No Clothes moment for university Ed.

        A helplessness they put astonishing energy into denying they have! Because all their frustration at their own weakness has to go somewhere, so it goes toward the people who rightfully point out how wimpy they are
