    From a communications standpoint the issue here is framing a political dispute as a racial dispute. AOC ran as a socialist insurgent, yet she frames Pelosi's pushback as rooted in race, which makes no sense when Dem Leadership is extremely committed to "diversity" opticspic.twitter.com/Ce1eXd0FI0

        Like a lot of centre-left parties they are a mess and have no idea what they should stand for. They've put all their eggs in the U.S's changing demographics and are doing everything they can to appeal to them. Abandoning the working class will fail.

        Weaponizing identitarianism for political gain has pretty much run its natural course into absurdity. When Hillary first did this to Bernie back in 2015-16 I thought it was an opportunistic one-off. I was wrong, it's become an all-consuming pathology.

        Why does everyone keep acting like AOC is a person of color? She is of Spanish descent. Her ancestors were Spanish colonialists. Living in Puerto Rico didn’t make them magically people of color.

        The idea that Dem Leadership is committed to the *optics* of diversity is perfectly congruent with Pelosi feeling no compunction in singling out AOC and the others. There’s really no contradiction here.

        Did they forget the rules? Everyone knows that the race card can only be played by democrats against conservatives.

        Rep. Clay needs to recognize that this is a racial tactic that his left has utilized and encouraged with regularity. It’s a bullshit tactic, but he should understand that his side helped empower her to do that. #potkettle

        this new generation of Dems loathe the past leadership. I think they see the Pelosis, the Bidens, the Clintons et al, of the world as failed standards for their cause and really dgaf what happens to them.

        Given who AOC is funded by I don't think she wants to go there. She wants people to believe her Grassroots nonsense as long as possible

        I suspect it's being done specifically for this reason, knowing that that's how they'll try to paint them as well. I could very well be wrong, but it may be an attempt to get ahead of the narrative and show hypocrisy in some of the optics that leadership uses?

        Definitely makes sense speaking as a person of color whose worked in many primarily white spaces that "valued diversity". They generally don't tolerate a diversity of opinion from PoC. Its treated as troublemaking, while whites are allowed to be opinionated.
