Yes AOC was surprised that she was directed by Nancy to stary dialing for dollars for members in other districts with little money.Zuck is just kissing the ring. Just a few years ago, republicans were claiming censorship on conservative content on FB. As for the discussion on Dems, I try to be fair in my assessments. I think the current system takes away politicians' priority away of citizens. Meaning, politicians are required to raise money to pay party dues. Then they have to raise additional money to sit on committees. Neither has to do with raising money for their next campaign. I really do believe some politicians get elected thinking they are going to help change the world for the better. Once they learn what the system is, they quickly learn they have to play the game. Top leadership in both parties have no intentions changing the status quo and they know it puts their peers at a disadvantage.
AOC being a progressive was given a seat at the table because she represents New York where all the money is so she has to raise funds for someone running in South Carolina.
