AOC: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir... (cdn.social.linux.pizza)

lmao she wants to fix ICE. I hate this fucking fraud.

Her job is to do what she's doing right now: achieving real tangible improvements. Your job is to get more people like her in positions of power so what's achievable is closer to the outcome you want.

Yelling about ICE in the streets and on the internet doesn't do anything. Getting a deal done to defund ICE so that can't keep terrorizing the country does do real good. It would actually save lives. Far more than I bet you've ever accomplished.

Her job is to send money to Israel, scold activists, protect the establishment, and tell poor people they aren’t capable of understanding socialist theory. Give me a break.

I’ve never voted to send millions of dollars to a genocidal ethnostate. That alone makes me better than her.

Yeees. Yeeeeesss. Good leftist. She's unpure. Reject her. Refuse to vote. The left must maintain purity, even at the cost of progress.

She's going in the wrong direction.

They're not the majority, abolishment isn't on the table at the moment. Keeping your eye on what is feasible to accomplish is not something to throw a hissy fit over.
