Rep. Ro Khanna said that âmanyâ in the House Democratic caucus, including himself, will back Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Tuesdayâs vote.

Who could have seen this coming?
Itâs great when the people running the country on both sides refuse to learn anything from their mistakes.
There seems to be only one side, with minor views on which group of people they are targeting.
Hopefully the old fuck just has a stroke tomorrow and keels over. That would be a fitting divine punishment for his hubris and desperate clinging to power. Those that refuse to let the next generation take the reins in their time deserve to sudden suffer sudden heart attacks. Peaceful retirement is for those who actually are willing to retire.
And so AOC compromised everything she claimed to believe in for nothing. Still refused her seat at the table.
Let this be a lesson to any other progressives who thinks they can sell out to gain favor with party leadership.
Yes, but Iâm guessing a lot more theory and a lot less propaganda than you.
Everything she ever claimed she stood for. She hasnât held to any promises, and has sold out progressives to the Dem establishment again and again and again.
Legitimately curious about this. Since the sources I read donât mention this, I am afraid Iâll be doomed to relying on propaganda unless someone educates me. Please help me by providing examples of AoC selling out, and ideally link to the sources so that I may enlighten myself in the future. Thanks!
Ngl I think AOC should straight up form a new party with Bernie or something like that, because the DNC is just gonna keep giving us the neoliberal shit sandwich until theyâre subsumed by the Republican Party outright (other parties being outlawed, of course).
I know that end-state sounds hyperbolic, but at this point I wouldnât be shocked if thatâs how things eventually play out if this authoritarian slide continues.
Except she spent the last election cycle mocking third parties and saying you need to âbuild coalitionsâ by working within the party
If this is what she got for her support of Israel and âworking within the partyâ, then I think she might have been taken for a ride

She is right. Divide and conquer is a super effective strategy, the left loves doing the divide part to itself then acts shocked when it gets conquered.
When your left-wing coalition depends on kowtowing to capital to survive, it isnât left-wing anymore.
Itâs not a bad idea. However, better would be a reforming and rebranding of the current DNCâs image. It is the right time to begin setting the foundations though, make no mistake.

And how would anyone go about that when the party leadership is fighting them at every turn?
The only legal way would be to mimic the corporations that captured the DNC to begin with, basically bribes.
Youâd have to create a super PAC that only funds left leaning democratic candidates, and one that would be willing to fund primaries against incumbents within the DNC.
The main problem is that parties only care about funding now, and there arenât exactly a bunch of leftist billionaires.
Citizens vs United basically ensured that any form of social economic reform is off the table for the foreseeable future. The political parties are bought and paid for, and will continue to funnel public spending into privatization until capitalism reaches terminal growth.
