This is about AOC losing her bid for the Oversight committee to a geriatric Dem lifer. Sure she has systematically shredded any last bit of credibility with her triangulation, but hey, at least all the 5D polítical chess is paying off! She's changing the system from the inside! It's working this time!
Girl, you abandoned any pretense of doing working-class mass politics when you decided to do insider politics! Why are you tweeting like Bernie Sanders circa 2012? There's no we! There's no mass movement behind you! It's just NYC DSA and some Warren libs (but I repeat myself)
At risk of being called a lib: NYC DSA in particular runs explicitly socialist candidates, wins, and gets real political results at city and state level at least... I have yet to meet a member who isn't well versed in theory.
I've been in multiple DSA chapters as I've bounced around burgerland and some were effectively lib children with their underwear on their head, but I honestly think NYC DSA is the rare effective force for good rooted in theory.
Now, I supplemented that work with mutual aid in different groups bc electoralism is a fuck and because I don't care about the "party politics" of DSA in general (nor was ever really ingrained enough to understand them). But I think there are more deserving targets of dunking than NYC DSA.
(ducks incoming tomatoes)
Edit: read further into this thread for a wholly deserved dunking on NYC DSA
No tomatoes thrown, but what is NYC DSA's stance on AOC?
Didn't they rescinded their endorsement of her somewhat recently?
Unless something changed, national withdrew their endorsement, but she's still endorsed by the NYC chapter
