        Didnt AOC just host a massive rally that helped to prevent space karen from ransacking the department of labor with his likely H1B visa doge goons?

            The democrats are a center right controlled opposition party and AOC is one of the farther left voices in it that refuses to get in line when told to do so. Yes she has been disappointing at times to a leftist like myself but shes our last hope outside of an armed revolution at this moment.

              Ahhh… so you’ll claim the democrats that you like as leftist, regardless of their political affiliation? Is that how this works?

                We don’t have a leftist party to be affiliated with, so by your logic, leftists don’t exist.

                  How is that by my logic? That doesn’t even make any sense. I said nothing at all about leftists not existing, or being affiliated with any party.

                  Seriously… can any of you hold a concert with anyone without creating straw men?

                  My point was that you all seem to hate democrats so much, but yet- claim any democrat that you happen to agree with. AOC is a democrat and not a leftist, regardless of whether or not you affiliate with any party.

        While I feel like this is bait, lets just say they are the ones out here actively confronting it, maybe not in the spaces you are watching but they are on the floor and in their communities talking to the people and voicing their concerns. But to your point, they can not do anything alone, they dont have more then a handful let alone votes for anything more of “Hey this is the law, they are breaking it” but going after them isnt easy they dont have the bankroll the libs and conservatives have from all their corporate backers.

            My brother in society, how do you think movements start?

            There’s not going to be a Blue-vested Donkey that flies down from the sky and smites Elon and doge. You’re not going to be saved, there’s nobody coming.

            Until more people realize this, they’re going to continue acting with impunity while everyone acts paralyzed and waits for someone else to do something. YOU do something, acting cynical on the Internet isn’t contributing in any way in a positive direction.

                You’re not attempting to state a point, you’re sealioning.

                They replied to you and stated what people on the left are doing. Asking the same question over and over again while not actually engaging in a conversation is just trolling and unwanted.

                  No. I’m asking you a simple question to support a claim you made and you’re refusing to answer and trying with every response- to derail the topic.

                  Name one thing.
