    This was practically a different country in 2004/2008 and let’s not pretend Obama and AOC are close on the political spectrum.

      You could almost say that after 20 years the standard of progressive changed?

      Dont tell Pelosi or Biden, they still thinking the standard isn’t open racism, because that’s what it was in the 60s.

      But yes, AOC is more progressive in 2024 than Obama in 2004.

      But so is fucking society.

      If you want the Dem party in 2024 to be the same it was in 2004, that’s like if in 2004 you wanted 1984.

      If that’s what you want, go be a conservative and drag them to the middle.

      Stop fighting progress because you don’t want it that far. The bigger danger is going too far right. So for fucks sake be honest about your political identity and go moderate the Republican party instead of ruining the only other option.
