Once again AOC is a progressive not a liberal and she is not “far more left” than Sanders. Y’all need to stay away from that right wing messaging. That’s patently false.
Bernie himself isn't even all that left, he's center left.

Of course this country is so far right that idiots paint him as the 2nd coming of Marx :mjlol:

the way the republican's are so threatened by her and embarrass themselves when talking about her is beautiful to see and shows she's on the right path.

I enjoy seeing her probe and question certain individuals. the way she pressed Zueckerberg was lovely.

she just also happens to be extremely likeable, is approachable, comes across great when she has done certain IG. Lives twitch or whatever type of platform etc
it helps that she looks good especially in her glasses and her little performative Telfar handbag was a great touch.

she's the future.

Ironically thats more the past of the party. They used to be all about unions and workers rights and poverty reduction right until Jimmy Carter got washed. They pivoted over to the republican style politics and haven't looked back since. We need a modern FDR who will just make sweeping changes to benefit the most disadvantaged and give everyone else a fair chance.

Actually jimmy started the destruction of unions. Never for get what he did to the trucking industry.

Thats why liberals and union folks turned their back on carter in the 1980 election.

Already knew nikkas would go full-retard in this thread:
@jerzboy
She's a Democratic-Socialist; her politics represent what is considering the center-Left in most countries outside of the US. Fantastic on environmental issues, energy issues, labor issues, racial issues, carceralism and imperialism, etc.

Definitely one of the best in national politics.

Lol at blaming MEN for the objectification of women as if women don't do it to themselves.

To answer OP's question. AOC is more far left than Bernie, self described socialist. Meaning she has no chance in 2024.​
AOC has objectified herself? No, she hasn't. Nor is she more far Left than Bernie, she's give or take similar to FDR in a lot of policy positions, save for a far more nuanced understanding of systemic issues.
Just another politician that'll do a rug pull on black people for her latino brethren.
What exactly does this mean? She's been pushing for policies that explicitly help Black people since she came into office.
She is a Sanders-type who is trying to shoehorn Latinos into the reparations discussion. That's all you need to know.
Shoehorn Latinox into the reparations discussion?

’Thanks for the breakdown. Starting to follow her more closely. I keep getting she a far left socialist from people but this thread broke it down.

She's vocally much more lenient to illegal immigration. Bernie at least had the smarts to realize you can't have a welfare state and let people in willy nilly. AOC wants to abolish ICE, give illegals federal relief checks, free healthcare AND full welfare benefits. Shes essentially as close to being open borders as you can be.

Vocal on reparations:ohhh:
...for Latinos.:comeon:

Shes also a member of the DSA, who's stated goal is to end capitalism completely.

That would literally HAND republicans a victory.
We need to get y'all to learn how to read books.

Illegal immigration has never been a legitimate issue in the US; the conflicts exacerbated by the US Drug War and us sending millions of arms into conflict zones is the *actual* issue - we end the drug war, and ease our jingoist protectionist policies, and migration will dramatically drop. The world economy isn't based around nation-states anymore - it's based around international firms. She absolutely wants to abolish ICE (which has only existed since 2003), since it's both corrupt, a massive waste of money, and fails in its most basic tasks.

For those lawfully residing in the US and also paying into taxes - who will be affected by the economic downturn related to COVID-19 - it makes sense to provide COVID relief checks. The same for college students and others who are "dependent" in name only and were massed over for relief checks. If the federal government can pump over $1T into wealthy companies skirting taxes entirely, it can provide funds for both tax-paying citizens and tax-paying residents.

She wants to provide a national system of public healthcare - just like if you got injured in the UK or in Vietnam; you'd get the national healthcare for little to no charge.

Nothing wrong with wanting to end capitalism, unless you're a corporatist bootlicker - which I take it you are.

Can someone fill me in on her policies? Every time she speaks she says the right things and is very charismatic and seems tough as well. Seems to be someone the younger generation is following as well.

can anybody shed some light?

She's a Marxist and doesn't know shyt. Democratic party has been silencing her voice more and more because she keeps getting called out by Republicans for basically being a moron.
