The RI thread about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

[Harvey]

Sanders is a realist, he must routinely endorse the unconscionable in exchange for a crumb or two for everyday folk? A courtier then?

Are you saying that because we have structural crises fostered by capitalism, government should just let laid-off workers go broke, let poor children go hungry, and let sick people die? I'm not following any logic here.

You see government relief from capitalist abuse as a mutually agreed exchange, a devil's bargain. I see it as exigent measures to improve & save lives, until, putting it metaphorically, the day billionaires hang from lamp posts.

Obviously Sanders and other progressives are so far unable to make the structural changes necessary to achieve any kind of fair economy. "Trickle-down" economics never went away. The FIRE sector reigns powerful. Pay attention to the real enemy.

Frame it as crumbs if you like, but keeping millions out of poverty is still a good thing, even as a stop-gap.

Deliberately keeping millions in poverty ought to be a crime. Instead, it's official policy to "discipline labor" with debt and financial precarity. That's unconscionable.


What exactly do we want from an economy, if not good employment, good health, and a good, long life?

So what happened to the "organizer in chief"?

All the people who used to get mad at me for bashing AOC are now forced to admit what we’ve been saying for years now

Sad thing is these Democratic Socialist types will never apologize for attacking us for telling the truth about AOC before it was cool

I admit it.

Not just AOC, but much of the Quad and Bernie Sanders support:

- Biden 2024
- the pandamic crackdown, and
- the Ukraine war.

Has caught me massively off-guard Even Marianne Williamson backs Biden on Ukraine..

It's hard to take. But it's the truth.
The Bernie desertion, AOC , the Squad.

Not one of them faithful to their promises of political Revolution.

Like Dr. West Said ,They got "co-opted".

They lost their souls. They are passionless.

All the AOC fans who realize AOC is now a fraud I hope you learned your lesson.

Turning a politician into a celebrity like figure while refusing to hold them accountable will make it that much easier for them to sell you out

Kudos to those who came to the realization that AOC and every so-called progressive inside the duopoly are frauds. Let's welcome them to the movement and hopefully more people will finally open their eyes to the truth.
