AOC has a public history. It's not good.

Her congessional voting record is only the trailer to her movie. Public statements and public appearances also tell a story, but the most dramatic part of her history are the public statements and appearances she *didn't* make, and the people and issues she didnt support. Campaign funding and fundraising that most people arent aware of are also publicly accessible, but people conditioned to believe a particular narrative will not look up anything critical of that narrative.

MSM is the main, and worse, source of political information, imo. It is the primary source of propaganda by design. That is what most of the conditioned electorate, the majority on both sides, watches, reads, and hears about from their trusted co-workers, friends, and even their warm and fuzzy millionaire TV comics with a desk and a political platform.

The only thing that is important is someone's actual record and their donors.

Regarding Donors: people talk about bribery but the average person cant wrap their heads around coercion and how that part of politics actually works. Once you cash their big campaign check, you never speak out against them. Either way, Once you are famous, you are told to stay in line...and you do.

It’s absurd that AOC, Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, Hakeem Jeffries, Kamala Harris, and others are seen as saviors from Trump. Saviors from a fascism they allowed to fester for years as long as it didn’t interfere with their political careers.

The masses are so desperate to oppose Trump that they return to weak-ass, unprincipled Democratic grifters who have repeatedly capitulated. They’re not saviors. They’re also the fucking oligarchs.

Why call for Chuck Schumer to step down and not the other Democrats?

The masses that oppose Trump need to consider other political methods. Fuck the “Team Blue” and “Team Red” plantation.
