AOC is already a better politician than Bernie could ever be.

Great message, bad messenger. She's playing the game, she knows that you need to build coalitions to get what you ultimately want and even then, you will have to give to get. Bernie just wants to be Homer Simpson's dad and yell at clouds all day and then wonder why people aren't fukking with him.

Didn't he get gutted like a fish when he ran for Congress? Has TYT unionized yet?

Anyway, I'm glad to see AOC doesn't plan on squandering her potential.

The funny thing is, Bernie has been part of coalitions in the Senate his whole time there. And in the House he passed amendment after amendment when the GOP was controlling things even.

But he doesn't talk about it. And the stupid cult of personality have been hypnotized into a scorched earth mentality when Sanders has always been a team player.

if aoc is gonna work with neera tanden and james carville and think anything is going to change thats laughable. idgf about tyt or bernie whoever. but its a zero sum game period. electoral politics is useless

all i read when i hear aoc is "learning how to play the game" is that shes learning how to sell out. what is she going to "get done" ? shyt like the grand bargain?

lets not forget aoc ran with dem socialist too and unlike bernie who was on tape saying he was a socialist a million times, aoc was brand new and didnt have to do that but she used it to get ahead , shes another obama. sell out

aoc like a month ago was saying she shouldnt have to be in a party with biden but now this? shes always been the most flimsy of the squad we all thought shyt was going to her head but she gained back her graces by endorsing bernie, now that hes done shes down to "learning the game" careerist.
She says she is working with Neera Tanden and Carville?
Dude Bernie lost, we have to regroup and come up with a new strategy. Being pure and getting nothing meaningful done isn't it chief. We got to build coalitions and not be openly hostile to our own party. You see it's not working. Let's be effective instead of being right all the time.

Stop posting this dude's bullshyt. I don't even like Bernie and this criticism is laughable. You gonna let people starve because you can't get a perfect bill passed by a republican president and republican senate? They don't care about people, they care about purity. Tea party shyt. These are the people who deny Obamacare saved lives. fukk them

She's doing what Bernie should have been doing for his national campaign. She's hired some traditional operatives. She's looking to expand the progressive base.

The burn it down approach ain't gonna work in Congress. And this presidential primary probably opened her eyes a lot.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of Bernie cultists who demand everyone be like Bernie. Its ridiculous.

I also think people are putting too much pressure on this girl to be a savior.

This politico article is an obvious attempt by shytty establishment types to sink their claws in AOC and turn progressives against her. Majority of us see it as almost insultingly obvious and apparent what they’re trying to do. Then you have morons like Cenk and Stoller who are beyond fukking stupid and get worked up over it and fall to the trap. You can see Cenk is trending right now because the majority of progressives see what they’re doing and it’s obvious how pathetic he is.

Yo! We aren’t turning on AOC. Get the fukk over it :pachaha:

When Bernie got scraped on Super Tuesday I checked TYT/Cenk and they were super defiant and acting like they had a real legit shot. It was embarrassing. Accepting a loss is difficult so I understand but props to AOC and Tulsi for pivoting immediately. The game never stops so being caught in your feelings sulking about reality is counterproductive.

dawg, the reality is this. Electoral politics aint for leftists. It's never been for leftists, and unless money leaves the system and there are laws that are put in place to prevent this, it will never be. Politicians by their very nature are reactive.

So what you need to do is organize, pound the pavement and force change by bringing masses of people together. They only listen and care when that happens. You know thats true too when you have Obama telling people to stop being noisy adn you have the GOP passing laws to prevent people from organizing. That is how we have always gotten change in this country, by making elected officials lives uncomfortable that they have no other option.
