No one is good enough for you people.
I get that this comes from the fact that no one on the left has figured out how to gain power here. It's just very tiring to see people shit on anyone who doesn't subscribe to the exact left ideology you all have or follow the exact steps you think it will take to win.
You say "organize" but you also don't have a plan that works. Asking people to read Marx and join your book club is all fine and dandy but it ain't starting a revolution. You don't have it figured out and neither does anyone else!
How about we wait for the guy to actually take office (and make sure he beats Cuomo again) and see how he acts before putting our noses in the air? Maybe some of the theory got it wrong, especially the stuff written nearly 200 years ago, and we should be open to trying different approaches?
Zohran has potential but AOC is dead in the water, she's out of touch and subsumed by DC think tank thinking
In fact because of the unfortunate timing between her capitulation and Zohran's slip up, she's actively dragging him down and demoralizing the base all around
Zohran made a tactical ploy to get the media off his back that may or may not pay out
AOC on the otherhand is making another poltical error in a long line of unbroken political errors and justifying it through nonsensical appeals to "pragmatism", she's not dangerous or anti-progressive because of what she believes (God only know what she actaully believes in her heart) she's dangerous because she's politically inept and tries to lead the left toward deadends, she's a demoralizer whether intentional or not
I'm gonna be real with you, if you can't even get the time period right for when most socialist theory was written, then frankly I'm not gonna take your opinions on the efficacy of theory seriously
