BREAKING: AOC has said there is insider trading in Congress.

"It's so crazy... we're supposed to act like money only corrupts Republicans? Give me a fucking break."

Yes, that's it exactly. Massive and ongoing corruption on both sides of the political aisle because there's really only one party: the ruling class.

even with my own reservations about AOC, it’s clear she’s among the very few Congresspeople who are willing to fight back instead of folding like a cheap lawn chair

the same can’t be said for many of her colleagues

that’s literally one of my reservations about her?

when I said “fight back,” I meant against Trump and baseline things like insider trading, not her toeing the party line when pushing a candidate with disastrous foreign policy (i.e. genocide)

And the DNC will do EVERYTHING in their power to make sure they don't allow more people like her onto the national stage again. Anyone that slips in will be treated as a shiny bauble that they can use to say, "See? We're still hip," because that's how little they think of us

when we get through this, whether that’s in two years four years or a decade we will need to reconcile with the fact that part of the reason the Democratic Party collapsed in the face of true authoritarianism was because it was corrupted by the same economic forces that had corrupted the right.

In that sense they're both the same. I mean I was appalled that Nancy pelosi was trading individual stocks the other day.

Not so much corrupted as led by. And if we don't want this to go on for 50 years or so, we can't wait till it's over to face that fact. Unless Dem leadership is replaced by people with a personal stake in structural change, we don't stand a chance.

They are absolutely complicit, the right knew they would never stand up when they conjured these moves.

And you can see what they are trading.

Her, Jasmine Crockett, and Maxwell Frost.

We wouldn’t have trump if Congress wasn’t already corrupt. This is part of the reason the Dems “messaging is bad”. If you pull on that thread . . . . The other reason is the media. Pelosi didn’t want to ban stock trades.

california almost voted on a single payer heathcare system... that disappeared, and not because of republicans.

They play to the donors as well.
