Except she spent the last election cycle mocking third parties and saying you need to ‘build coalitions’ by working within the party
If this is what she got for her support of Israel and ‘working within the party’, then I think she might have been taken for a ride
Like how Bernie “worked with” the Dems by bending the knee to Hillary after the 2016 primary?
Yeah idk why the progressives think they can work with the right wing obstructionists that are the Democratic party.
Guess we should have all voted for that hack Stein. The green painted wing of the GOP
Better to vote for the pink-painted wing of the GOP
“The Dems are like the GOP but they don’t hate women and gay people” is less of a gotcha than you think it is when you don’t even deny that Stein is a fraud.
Kind of just tells us what you think of those issues.
That’s the thing about paint - sometimes it peels off of whatever shitty surface it’s covering.
I’ll take liberals over Nazis, thanks.
Why won’t you?
Pretending as if it’s a binary choice is the reason why liberals end up compromising with nazis in the first place.
It is a binary choice on election day, and even if it you believe in third party viability on principle Stein is still a fascist stooge.
The Parlor Pink shade, comrade?
Either way, honestly - it’s a thin, flaky coat of paint on a reactionary bourgeois political party
The solution is to depose everyone who has a finger in politics today, starting from the top down.
“Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems.”
She is right. Divide and conquer is a super effective strategy, the left loves doing the divide part to itself then acts shocked when it gets conquered.
When your left-wing coalition depends on kowtowing to capital to survive, it isn’t left-wing anymore.
So make yourself smaller, less relevant, less resources but ideologically pure. Not exactly a winning formula. You go to war with the army you’ve got, not the army you wish you had.
When the army you have sabotages you at every turn you absolutely do remove the obstructive elements. The modern Democratic party will simply never allow leftists to have any kind of political power. That’s not how they roll, and by the time anything change America will have went full autocrat or starved to death.
The call is coming from inside the house, bud.
Go make your political party made up of exclusively people to the left of Elizabeth Warren and let me know how the half dozen of you do
Is she really your standard bearer for ‘left’…?
I used her as an example of someone not left wing enough for you guys to share a party with.
Unfortunately not the first time AOC’s “learned” this lesson. See? She is a great Dem, learn nothing and do it again.
