“I can’t do what she [AOC] does, because we live in a purple state and I’m a pragmatist.“

“Everyone you mentioned has a lot of words, but what have they actually done to change the situation with Donald Trump?”
Uh gee maybe if the rest of y’all got on the same page instead of impeding them and folding to the Republicans then we could actually have some sort of defense against him and his cronies?
aoc and bernie do pull such stunts, but it hasnt stopped the fascists. how long until trump just says they can do it period? it doesnt inspire much confidence that their strategy to defeat fascism is doing institutional trolling.
im sorry but it really does feel like controlled opposition.
I get the feeling you have. However, if you’re going to characterize the concrete actions I have just described as trolling stunts, then there’s really not much the two of them can do on their own.
What are you waiting for? A declaration of independence?
Politicians follow the populace, not the other way around.
