AOC won’t be immune to the same pressure that eventually corrupts longtime politicians. She’s just barely begun her second term. I’m certain she’s already begun to make perfectly legal deals and investments that are going to look shady to average people.

Also, one person’s “shouting nutjob with barely a highschool degree” is someone else’s “passionate populist who represents the common people.”



Nice false equivalency!

But you're right: flat earth society is real, so I guess they could elect a nutjob.

After 4 years of Trump, your "both sides are the same" bullshit is DOA.


You’ve missed my point. Politics is a team sport and optics depend on your worldview and biases. “One mans X is another man’s Y” is me pointing this out.

But also, please refrain from calling other commenters’ thoughts “your bullshit” because that’s not nice or productive discourse.
