When will politicians in America take their rhetorical talking away from the camera and return to where the power of rhetorical talking has a chance of becoming a reality? In the chambers, actions will always speak louder than words.
Remember, out of chambers means less scrutiny of current actions.
It caused me to unfollow. I’m not doing this propping up performance over actual accomplishment thing anymore. People can be working their as*es off yet people will still fawn over a few people and act like no one else exists.
this reply is every bit as emotive as theirs. if you don’t want feedback when people think your own feedback badly misses then post better takes or consider opting out of the feedback game
I truly don’t understand this view. She sent a strongly worded message which included things she knows can’t happen. So people will be blaming other Dems reps for not misleading them? It just seems bananas to me.
Uhh. All the Dems be putting out cupcake social media statements on their cutesy little templates. Check out the long-winded wordy bullshit from Jeffries. Just looking at him puts me to sleep.
Uhh. And what does AOC’s accomplish beyond that? Not putting you to sleep, I suppose, is a lofty goal, but what has changed? This is not about her. This is about others pretending that anything different is accomplished because of her. Bread and circuses.
The message is we need to primary all corporate democrats & elect Dems who will promote the progressive agenda. With a few notable exceptions, the establishment leadership has failed us with their silent complicity with the worst crimes of the Trump Fascist State.
Democratic leadership should take a page from Pelosi and pass the torch to next generation. Powers that be have failed us and is in part is guilty in all of what is currently going on.
Pelosi really passed the torch when she whipped votes from her hospital bed after hip surgery for the old guy with terminal cancer to be ranking member on the Oversight Committee and not AOC after the former Rep Raskin endorsed her.
Dem gerontocracy helping fascism to keep bad ideas bad.
Demomcrats and MAGA have a vested interest in keeping their jobs amassing power and enriching themselves and their paid advisors. They have very little urgency to help anyone who needs it.
I genuinely don't understand why people get so upset at the notion that AOC is really good at messaging and some Democrats could stand to be better. There's a lot more animosity toward her than I ever knew.
As someone else pointed out, how is saying impeach now or writing up articles any different from the letters you all complain about?
At least the letters can lead to litigation in the courts that are still open, thanks to Schumer, while impeachment goes nowhere.
Thousands of her stans wished for her democratic colleague, Rep. Connolly, to “rot in hell,” after dying from cancer a few weeks ago. With no pushback from her or her team. So, I’m not looking to her for messaging on any front or for calls for her in leadership either. Much like Bernie & cult.
AOC introduced a total of 21 bills which the center defined as “substantive” — but that is where the story ends. Her legislation received no action in committees, no floor votes, and none ever became law, according to the center, which takes its data from https://Congress.gov.
Who cares. So she’s not cosponsoring naming a post office with a Republican. She is the most effective messenger for the Democratic Party. And watching you never trumpers have a meltdown about it, is just icing on the cake.
This is a defining moment for the Democratic party. We need to stand against war with Iran. I am sending a Dear Colleague letter tonight asking every House member to sponsor my & Rep. Thomas Massie WPR to stop this war.

I agree, but it's also a bit apples & oranges. AOC is not in leadership. When she is in leadership (hopefully soon!) her messaging will change to reflect the responsibility of leading the entire caucus.
I'm guessing she'll still be way better & that many here will accuse her of selling out.
She and Bernie Sanders caused Mrs Harris to lose in 2024. That led to the attack on Iran. Which Mrs Harris was against. Actual democrats will never forget that. Here’s proof.
Genuinely don't understand why people are extrapolating a post about one statement into such a grand pronouncement. My opinion that short and forceful in a political moment is more effective is hardly tearing down the system.
Because you keep posting dem bashing rage-bait. Just feckless Dems material with no context. I’m not sure what purpose it serves other than to increase voter apathy, which got us here. Where is the equal time for the things a lot of Dem reps are doing, besides AOC statements?
Because you've built a large following and you should be more fucking responsible with it. All you're doing is perpetuating the same fucking propaganda narrative that has depressed voter turnout for a goddamn decade and made this entire nightmare possible. Get your shit together.
There are other Dems doing things. Like Jon Ossoff. He fought for the last 5 years to keep mining from occurring in GA that would’ve contaminated a critical water resource.
Hard work and showing up is what matters. Not tweets.
You're being deliberately obtuse. And you're putting Always On Camera on a pedestal for doing the exact same thing all you fuckers are constantly busting Jeffries' & Schumer's balls for... "writing strongly worded letters".
She's nothing but a ratfucker, just like Maple Syrup Moses.
Maybe people are just sick of the fucking propaganda being irresponsibly peddled by feckless ResisTrash accounts with tens of thousands of followers and zero accountability for the harm they knowingly cause perpetuating a narrative that depresses voter turnout election cycle after election cycle.
All those rallies she had with Bernie and they didn’t hammer home the importance of special elections. Turnout in VA was 7%! Now THERE’S a messaging problem!
It’s your use of the word “again”. As in, this is a perpetual complaint of yours which kind of negates your statement that this was “one statement”. And, using it as its own sentence is definitely designed for a stronger effect.
This needs to be an “AND” movement, Sir, not an inner-party take down.
Because you are adding to the division by holding her up as the better leader when she has passed no bills in 8 years; she is unpopular among her colleagues; and she routinely votes against Dem bills and bashes them.
He doesn't care. He's off complaining now about the reaction to his supposedly 'anodyne' post. When you don't think about what you say outside your echo chamber, dissenting opinions are a shock. Poor boo.
I was going to say, why does she *still* always get dismissed and reduced to the role of the underdog side character by her own voters when she’s very much a top 5 main character
AOC needs to keep doing what she is doing & the other more progressive members need to band together & continue speaking out. I don’t listen to or care what Schumer & the out of touch say. I’m listening to the new generation. If the DNC wants to win ever again, they need to dump the Schumer types.
Okay, I'm old and I know young people love to praise AOC by attacking Dems, but I was under the impression she is a Democrat. She is undoubtedly a leader. Or am I wrong about those things?
@aoc.bsky.social is gonna lose so hard in whatever national election she tries - because @demsocialists.bsky.social
hate Democrats, blame Israel for Hamas attacks on 10/7 and blame NATO for Russia’s attacks on Ukraine-so get ready to cry rigged
I’m bookmarking this receipt because there is not a snowball’s chance she wins anything above representative. She is not ‘popular’ with anyone but the far left, lolz.
Sugar - WE LED THE REVOLUTION IN THE 60S AND 70S. We got shit done from Civil Rights to LGBTQ rights and did corporate power analyses in between. You do squat but bloviate, and we're seeing the fraud and fucking laziness. Grow the fuck up.
Look behind you because most members of Congress are Gen X & Mellinials.
Lmk when you lose your knee jerk reactions.
Gen X and Mellinials are not 20 year Olds anymore 😉

Looks like no one has learned a thing. They still want to reward fantasy over reality.
The *right* words from the *right* person!
As long as that person is:
1. AOC
2. Bernie
Their words are DOING SOMETHING.
Other Democrat’s words are:
Useless, feckless, bringing the wrong weapon to a fight, without testicles, etc.
Bunch of low iq hypocrites.
Dem gerontocracy helping fascism to keep bad ideas bad.

** On May 15, 2025, Al Green submitted articles of impeachment in House Resolution 415.
These people actually DID SOMETHING - they didn't go on a media tour spouting words and raising money.
Just. Stop.
Got any other bangers, J??

Just watched the HBO series The Dark Money game. Long story short, America is fucked.

They will never make her minority leader and he will never step aside - so 2028 it is then.
Increasing voter apathy is not productive. Only 3.2% turnout in a blue county in GA, after the No Kings protests.
Trolling Dems on SM isn’t fighting fascism. Calling for impeachment isn’t either.
There are other Dems doing things. Like Jon Ossoff. He fought for the last 5 years to keep mining from occurring in GA that would’ve contaminated a critical water resource.

She is excused from the scorn other Democrats receive because she does social media better?
It just gets old.

I think you overstate her popularity, there is no other office she could win in, none.
Lowest approval rating ever.
LIST THE BILLS AOC HAS PASSED OR GOTTEN TO COMMITTEE???????
Lmk when you lose your knee jerk reactions.

They are both solidly D districts.
Stop pretending she’s not a Democrat.
That honestly doesn’t do either the party or the country any good.
Claim your power
Stop relentlessly making it some “outsider” position, when so many Democrats hold those same ideals.
Bluntly, you’re letting the opposition label you, which is politically dumb
