Isn't McCain only there to make the audience feel good about themselves? Its the others that are more of a threat than McCain, though I presume/hope she swatted them away easily enough?

Seems hard to take that AOC's followers would not trust her judgment about what's the best political move for promoting the progressive agenda. Do they really think she'd be knowingly weakening or undercutting her own position?
― A is for (Aimless), Friday, 21 February 2020 19:22 (four years ago) link
It's people who don't think AOC is left enough yelling at her about not endorsing Sema Hernandez (DSA member but Seth Rich truther). MJ Hegar is probably going to get the nomination and lose badly to Cornyn so whatever.

i had the realization the other night that i will probably live to see a day when AOC is widely criticized for being too moderate
― But guess what? Nobody gives a toot!đ (Karl Malone), Friday, 21 February 2020 19:46 (four years ago) link
Depends on your definition of widespread but that started the minute she didn't shank Pelosi on the House floor.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Friday, 21 February 2020 19:47 (four years ago) link
oh yeah, i don't think it's anywhere close to widespread. i just mean, in 20 years or so she'll be left-center
― But guess what? Nobody gives a toot!đ (Karl Malone), Friday, 21 February 2020 20:54 (four years ago) link
Because the center is going to finally move? Optimistically. If you ever want to go down a rabbit hole, read about the initial membership and evolution of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. It's still a good thing, yet...

Tbf, irrespective of this particular situation, I think the last thing AOC would want people to do is sit back and âtrust her judgment.â Sheâs all about constituents holding politicians accountable.

one single NY Post reporter has published 11 "AOC SAYS" exposes so far today by watching Facebook videos she posted in 2016 and writing an article for each one
revelations range from "she says Thomas Jefferson was progressive" to "a friend of hers has never eaten a Flamin' Hot Cheeto"

this was indeed outstanding. i certainly never bought any of the "AOC is a dummy" bullshit from RW ghouls but she was (very understandably) a little shaky and imprecise in her "early" days but wow, she is just so absolutely poised and polished now, it's truly phenomenal to watch.

well, it's a play on the title "What are Barack Obama's flaws?" which we all know was ironic, since he has none.

karl malone is one of the great posters and thread-starters but i agree this title is a dud. should be replaced with like... "The AOC Thread" or maybe "AOC'S USA: Rolling Thread of Badass North American Progressive Politicians," like a clearing-house for every time they kill it on mic or on twitter and you can go there when you need a pick-me-up, idk.

thanks doctor casino, that's very nice! i don't mind at all if the title needs to be changed. i agree that it's probably very confusing to everyone who is not deeply embedded (trapped?) in ilx-lingo
