minus-squarejimmydoreisaleftylinkfedilink-8•1 year agoWe have different views, I was for the progressives, that was the only reason we wanted AOC. Now she is just another blue dog democrat.
minus-squareCylustheviruslinkfedilink10•1 year ago Now she is just another blue dog democrat. That seems pretty hyperbolic. This is a description of that coalition. Perhaps you could share how her policy choices reflect that coalition’s values.
minus-squarejimmydoreisaleftylinkfedilink-11•1 year agoLook at what she ran on and what she is doing now, she is moving more and more closer to the blue dogs. I am just trying to point out the reality of politicians. We have to stop seeing them as our saviors or people that can’t be corrupted, they are politicians. We need to force them to fight for the people, we can’t treat them as just another celebrity. Power is not given just because we like them and defend them, we need to keep pushing them so they stay in line to what they ran on.
