this is sort of important to note, i think, the kind of person who thinks AOC is too centrist is a genuine fucking weirdo, and while you might encounter dozens or hundreds or even thousands of them online, it’s a country of 330M people, they basically don’t exist
I think there's a solid case that there are more American Satanists per individual subtype of Satanism than Americans who think AOC is a centrist sellout.
They’re just speedrunning what they did to Nancy Pelosi (I remember when she was the firebrand who was way left of the party mainstream, too). One almost might begin to suspect a pattern to this stuff.
I am an actual-factual anarchist who would prefer a radically different society than the one we live in, and *I* think AOC is, in fact, a good representative.
Also AOC is a realist. Biden is the only option right now - what's she going to do? Support Trump? Tell people not to vote at all? She's doing her job.
just keep that in the back of your mind next time you encounter someone like this in the wild, they don’t matter, they don’t exist electorally, don’t fool yourself into thinking they’re worth arguing with
I'm an anarchist with end goals far to the left of AOC's. But anyone who refuses to take advantage of the currently existing means to keep an actual fascist out has drunk some accelerationist kool-aid and has extremely unrealistic standards for what electoralism can accomplish.
