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.
Eventually that fury has the power to change minds, and some of those minds can directly do something about this. (Especially if their constituents pressure them enough and don't give them any wiggle room.)
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)
