“It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs,” she claimed in a social media publication.
Do people criticizing AOC have any idea how limited a house members direct power is. The most impactful thing she can do from her seat on a regular basis is normalize the contempt. She’s not even a senator ffs. I really hope we’re able to rally against the hateful bigots. This country is a mess and full of dumbass tools blissfully ignorant to reality in every corner.
Yeah like, I’ll friggin take it, all the power to that fierce woman! Maybe she can’t directly fix everything, but you’re right, people discount the fact that her outspoken truth to power can embolden dissent.

I think most of us realize that she is a token FDR New Deal Democrat, with no actual power. She’s like a release valve for citizens to cheer for. SHE GETS IT, etc.
There are always a few, they provide cover for big money leadership like Schumer (who is NOT a new deal democrat, he’s like a 90s Republican)
