Feels like (the good parts of) old chapo again, drop an AOC post and go grab some lunch... come back and there are over 60 replies :)

    AOC has been the perfect indicator that we need to work far, far, far away from the democratic party. You're right, they haven't moved a bit and have nothing but contempt for her. It's a lost cause. Let the party rot, let electoral politics be a minor focus and build our own shit from the ground up.

      Of course one first-term congressperson isn't going to force the whole party left. Who ever claimed AOC and a few fellow travelers -- who make up 1% of the House -- could somehow pass bills over bipartisan opposition? For electoralism to work you need, you know, votes.

      What AOC can do (and has done) is put left entry points out in the political mainstream.
