As much as I disagree with some of the things AOC says, she has a lot of Intestinal Fortitude. I wish the other politicians had as much. If they did, we might not be in the mess we are in!
I believe one aspect of their effectiveness is they're a generation of Democrats that came of age when the Republicans were always batshit crazy. "Moderate" Republicans are an extinct species, so AOC and Crockett know negotiating with these GOP shitweasels is not possible.
This is getting dangerous. You folks really need to stop elevating these people who are oh so mediocre in every way to some hero status. It’s good she’s where she is for now, but she’ll become useless and we can’t hesitate to chuck her and get a new one. We’re not their fans, they’re not our friends

"[AOC will] become useless"?
I don't romanticize politicians, but I respect the ones that put the work in and know how to effectively amplify a message.
But I do appreciate someone who won't stab a politicay ally in the back like, for example, Bernie Sanders did with Hillary Clinton.
