    Ocasio-Cortez responded by questioning Tom Homan’s ability to read, suggesting he take a look at the Constitution

    LOL

    Knowing your rights is an act of resistance. And it is perfectly legal (for now).

        And yet folks on the left find reasons to kneecap her.

          Sadly it’s not “left”. Democrats now consist of two very distinct groups. The “establishment” who want politics as usual and suck on their donors teats. These were the ones that were complaining about people asking them to stand up to Trump, and at this point are part of the problem.

          Then There is a much smaller group of “progressives” that consist of AOC, Sanders and a few others. These people are the ones actually interested in fighting for us. The problem is, not only are they getting flack from the right. They’re getting flack from their own party.

          Assuming we get another election the only way to even remotely dig ourselves out of this hole is to start primaring the hell out of the establishment candidates.

            I was referring to anyone left of center. Highlighting that it’s not just maga coming for her.

            Further left needs to stop purity testing each other. No one is “good enough” if you go by terminally online progleft rules, even them.

              I’m for anyone that will pull left and less authoritarian than the way things currently stand. We can fight it out once things start getting better.
