I think his movement has traction with the younger generation. Hopefully it motivates them and they keep it going.

Politics sucks. You can't do everything. There's also never going to be anyone that agrees with you 100% unless you run yourself, and even then your views change over time (hopefully).

AOC has made mistakes, but tearing down the left-most Members of Congress for not being left-enough will only push Congress right.

I highly recommend this episode of Unfucking the Republic: https://www.unftr.com/episodes/topical13

It should be noted that many of the workers’ demands were quietly met just this summer largely through back channel efforts led by none other than Bernie Sanders. Bernie did it by working beyond the headlines and within the system.

The linked article discusses ONE demand. It is a fucking lie to say that "many" of the demands were met.

Not to mention the condescension inherent in a politician telling workers "it's ok that I betrayed the working class because I got one of their demands met"

She's nothing but mistakes and lunacy and lies. And she's repeatedly shown through her actions she doesn't give two shits about the working class. How willfully ignorant are you?

She's a nutcase and a puppet.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
