These are her words. Get out of here with your lies.
people's support for aoc despite her actions and words has become a depressing reminder of how little americans pay attention the machinations of our government and i think it because it's labeled as politics.
it's so much worse than bernie because he made me believe that all this shit was happening because the information that could educate people to make information decisions required intention and action instead of being passively spoonfed by the main stream media, but now seeing that that the information is freely available at everyone's fingertips online like aoc's responses has made me realize that everyone doubles down on their ignorance like maga does.
Most of them only care the part of the progressive movement which affects them. The 15 dollar minimum wage, LGBT movement, free healthcare, or whatever else drives them to it.
Brown children getting burned alive does not affect them. So they defend it.
i've heard this before and always felt like it was a cynical take; but it's getting harder and harder to regard it as nothing more than cynicism as i keep seeing examples like aoc.
