i'm not dogging on AOC for this at all but it's insane that we're in a position now where a government official straight up saying "nazis are bad and i will fight them" is like, shocking and notable because none of the rest of them will say it

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

It isn't that shocking a statement, even given the climate.
which I am not, yet
When people tell you who they are, believe them.
[reps squeaking out a 50.1% win one time]: time to fundamentally remake America
None of the rest of them will say it.
It's not that AOC is some unique once-in-a-generation political genius.
It's that AOC refuses to put her head in the sand. She's just a normal good person who can see what's in front of us all the way you and I do.
She's filling the enormous gap in opposition leadership right now. If the designated party leaders would, you know..."lead" perhaps it wouldn't seem necessary.
I ask because at the moment there are even more enthusiastic supporters of genocide currently in power.
so obnoxious to the point where it's not just dogwhistles and suspiscious their rally partners; where they'll giving salutes, and going to actually klan rallies & nazi rallies
she had multiple republicans at the convention and no trans people or palestinians
didn't memory hole that; i'm saying she played it covert. the next democrat won't be
2nd time i didn't vote at all
so far, it's about 50/50 on whether dems or reps win when i don't vote lol
but also it's 2/3 times dems lose when going up against trump so, i'm beating their odds lmfao

- people start saying them to emulate her or ingratiate themselves to her
- people start saying them so they don't miss out on the trend
- people refuse to say them because they don't want to seem aligned with her
It’s sadder than a pet funeral
also not great seeing the rest of the party watch her and do this
