Imagine being a politician who values principles over partisan, party politics.

after this lit up twitter for a bit they went on there to 'clarify' that it's a 'procedural endorsement' but i think we know what's going on here for real my friends! ;) B) :thumbsup:

Come on, dont be silly. This is a publicity stunt by AOC which is meant to advance her own career and further position herself as the heiress-apparent to Bernie's movement.
This endorsement doesnt hurt her, it helps her (at the expense of her party). Nothing brave or principled about it.

Nah, excellence pointed out AOC's clarification about it on Twitter. Seems largely procedural, but I have no doubt that she would prefer Bernie over Biden.

Sure, it was just a procedural vote, but what I wrote still applies: AOC made a point casting a vote for Bernie instead of Biden, to stress that she belongs to "Team Bernie" and distance herself a little bit from the old guard of her party.

yeah they coulda had anyone do this procedural nonsense. no one care about it.

ironically she got less time on air than slimeball Kasich lol. what a pathetic display. son of mailman should’ve endorsed Barnie.

aoc is much smarter and more savvy than people on both parties give her credit for. the amazon hq thing was a bust but overall she’s added to her clout so far. impressive for someone in what i assume is our general age group. I’ve consistently said i dont agree with her politics but i do not discount her wherewithal.

AOC did the right thing. The old guard is on the way out. And I cannot wait to hammer a nail into their coffin personally.

Criminal justice is just one area... even assuming the argument that she's not progressive in that area is true, it's not sufficient evidence to say she can't be considered a progressive broadly.

"Some activists don't like Harris and think she's too moderate" is also not sufficient evidence that she's not a progressive. You'll find plenty of articles in right-wing swamp land about how "politician X" isn't a True Conservative, but what matters is a person's record and their professed stances.


You can't have the history Kamala has a cop/prosecutor and then not even express regret or admit fault in your past in doing such and be considered progressive.

Ending the drug war/prohibition is one of the top planks of progressive policy and in my eyes it the most important domestic issue that faces America because it has done more damage to America than anything else in the past 40 years.

She will support status-quo economic neo-liberal policy and there is no doubt about this. And you're over here trying to say she's progressive? Get your head out of the sand.
