I've noticed a lot of posts asking how we're going to vote, and people coming in trying to shame people for not voting for Biden, or any candidate in the general election at all.

So I'm curious and, asking in good faith, want to know - what will make you stop voting for Biden?

Seriously. What has AOC ever actually done. She's not even pretending to be progressive anymore she's clearly just angling to be this generations Pelosi.

AOC couldn't even do the bare-ass minimum and just support the rail unions, an act that would not have killed Biden's anti-labour bill. She couldn't even pull a basic symbolic act in solidarity! It's mind-boggling to see someone here buying into her obvious bullshit.

Literally the hardest decision she makes is if she's going to look sad or stoic while voting for exactly what the DNC tells her to.

I guess it's obviously working if there are self-described leftists on hexbear who still believe she's gonna move anything towards socialism internet-delenda-est

To their defense, socialism is when the government acts like it really wants to do stuff but is hamstrung by procedural issues.
