    AOC is a democrat and not a generally representative of leftist ideology.

      The democrats are a center right controlled opposition party and AOC is one of the farther left voices in it that refuses to get in line when told to do so. Yes she has been disappointing at times to a leftist like myself but shes our last hope outside of an armed revolution at this moment.

        Ahhh… so you’ll claim the democrats that you like as leftist, regardless of their political affiliation? Is that how this works?

          We don’t have a leftist party to be affiliated with, so by your logic, leftists don’t exist.

            How is that by my logic? That doesn’t even make any sense. I said nothing at all about leftists not existing, or being affiliated with any party.

            Seriously… can any of you hold a concert with anyone without creating straw men?

            My point was that you all seem to hate democrats so much, but yet- claim any democrat that you happen to agree with. AOC is a democrat and not a leftist, regardless of whether or not you affiliate with any party.

              Your logic is “AOC can’t be left because she’s in a center-right party”, correct? If so, what party would somebody on the left affiliate with in order to be considered ‘leftist’ by you?

                Did you all just abandon your 3rd party nobodies? What happened to De La Cruz? Shill Stein? That’s ALL we heard from you prior to the election…

                What happened? Did you realize they were spoilers lie we tried to tell you? You all flip-flop so much it’s impossible to keep up with the rhetoric.

                Now… I’ve got shit to do, so go ahead and get your last word in. I’m sure it’ll be profound.

          Your reading comprehension is a little bit wonky there my fellow hooman.

          Aoc and a few others in our government are the farthest left when compared to the rest of our representatives and leaders. I myself am somewhere between an anarcho-syndicalist / marxist/lennenist / communist and unfortunately we dont have representation that fully aligns with my ideals within the us government. But when compared to the rest of our public servants Ocasio-Cortex, Illihan Omar, aryana presley bernie sanders and Rashida Tlaib are the only people in our government that have anything resembling a spine and or balls when it comes to the blatant fascist ideology that has creeped into our institutions and ultimately become blatant and emboldened as of late.

            Holy shit this has become juvenile. “Hooman”? Really? What the hell is that even supposed to mean?

            And to my point- regardless of what YOU align with, SHE is still a democrat.

            Also- my reading comprehension is just fine as it is. But I think maybe you might need a refresher in political affiliation, because while she may be the closest thing to whatever nonsense you follow this week, she is a democrat and represents the Democratic Party- something you all are very, VERY vocal about you opposition of.

            Which was the irony that I was pointing out- the same irony that YOUR reading comprehension clearly missed.

            Now go on and enjoy the last word. I know how important it is to you.

              Your reading comprehension is questionable but what isn’t however is your grip on reality. Get it together there.deep breaths in and out. Maybe go smoke and touch some grass?
