AOC needs to find her Saiyan Rage and go full speed at Trump
He's probably shitting his diapers in impotent rage lol Imagine all the ketchup being thrown.
Keep it up AOC and Bernie!
He is all that and more
Well he fuckin is.
I support this message. Hope she doesn’t get deported.
She will 100% but maybe that what need to be so a real revolution start because the peaceful protest don't do shit to stop fascist
Too bad people couldn't be bothered to vote last year.
But the Democrats didn't offer them a pony
At this point, I assume anyone still harping on this is a conservative provocative looking to stir up division.
The truth is it's possible for more than one group to be at fault. Those who stayed home have a ton of blame, the centrist dipshits at the DNC have a ton of blame, and the Republicans themselves have the most blame of all.
Quit trying to sew division. We need unity now, not to rehash old grievances.

The left:
If we don't give voters what they want, we're gonna end up with fascism.
Fascists:
Take over a country because "moderates" fight the left harder than fascism
"Moderates":
Why dont we just blame the left again?
Do you legitimately not understand what's happening now?
Because it's literally the same way Nazis came to power the first time; "moderates" fighting the left

When trump was president the first time, we all agreed it was bad and things needed fixed.
A large amount of Dem voters held their nose and voted Biden because he was the only option and even Biden was better than trump....
But instead of fixing anything, Biden just tried to gaslight America that things were fine, and didn't actually fix anything despite having the House and Senate like trump does.
Then Biden held on to the last possible moment so there wouldn't be a primary, tried to hand the nomination to an even more historically unpopular VP who couldn't win, and she said she wouldn't do anything different, except putting a Republican in her cabinet.
So you can blame voters not voting.
But it just sounds like a shady car salesman bitching no one will buy his lemons.
It's the literal and only job for a candidate and their campaign team to win an election. We can't blame primary voters for picking a bad option, they had no say in who the candidate was.
This is bigger than your ego being wrong about what voters will put up with
We can't afford to deny reality so you feel better about your unpopular opinions about what Dem voters want.
It can simultaneously be true that the democrats did a god awful job campaigning, and that people are fucking idiots for not voting for them.

We have no idea what a peaceful protest of significant size can do. We've never seen one.
We've seen peaceful protests, sure. And some not-so-peaceful ones. But non-violence is really difficult to manage and wield.
Are protests really about "doing" things though?
A rabble or riot might storm a location like on Jan 6, but is that going to topple a government? Maybe in the middle ages where you could depose a king but since then I don't think so.
Civil Unrest, if maintained over weeks and months might achieve something. If the population is ungovernable I imagine that might motivate republicans to impeach but things would have to get real bad.
Other than that a protest is really just a public statement of duress. It's an appeal to all the people who usually dont pay any attention to politics et cetera.

AOC should team up with Blue State governors to campaign solely in their states, with their protection. Trump WILL try to dispose of her, it is only a matter of time. Having a state's National Guard to protect her from Dogey goons will be key to allowing AOC to continue working against the regime.
Oh if AOC is touched by that fucking scumbag will be the moment people riot. If not only the left but potentially some of the right who are fans of her as well, or at least fans of her energy (some have said they dont agree on policy but like how she really stands for working class families). I feel like as much as we cant really touch Trump (he would die a martyr for hard right nationalism) if the other side touches AOC the same thing happens but for the cause on the right side of history.
Trump has spent longer at rallies spewing insults at his personal and political enemies. The difference is that she is angry and fired up about justice and genuine love of country. Oh, and everything she said is actually true.

About FUCKING time.
She's been saying it since 2016. It's just that nobody's reported it until now.
None of this is false is the thing. He's literally a criminal. He literally gave out a massive stock tip before reversing direction on tariffs again…
There are also those 34 felony convictions. And the civil court finding that he raped a woman.
Yup. It still boggles my mind that none of that was enough to make Republicans think twice about voting for him.
Now that he's impacting them financially? Oh noes! I might not vote Republican again! 🙀
But of course, it's way too late now and we'll be lucky if we even have another election at this point.
Well, they never heard that information. In many cases very literally. In other cases they "heard it" and dismissed it as "lying" of the "liberal media".
It's a cult.
And TREASON! He is literally the most prolific traitor in American history. Not just that, but he is a worse traitor than ALL other American traitors COMBINED!
Any discussion of his criminal activities should lead with the undeniable FACT that he is a Traitor.
Good point, yes. I really should have started with that…

Good go off queen!
Her and Bernie just had the largest political rally in Idaho since 08 Obama...
The people don't want trump
But the people don't want a shitbird neoliberals either.
For the vast amount of Dem voters, there's gonna be at least a 20 year gap between them being able to vote for something rather than just to stop a Republican.
Luckily we finally kicked the "moderates" out of DNC leadership for this first time since Jimmy Carter, longer than most of us have been alive they've had control to the detriment of America.
The reason mainstream media is finally ok with criticizing Dems. Is the neoliberals aren't in control anymore. So now the billionaires want Dem voters to fight the DNC.
Because billionaires no longer control the DNC

Good. Speaking the truth
She needs to talk about rope.
She’s not wrong. But she should be careful. She has a Hispanic-sounding name and brown skin. Key demographic to get deported (without trial) to a concentration camp ala’ trump.
EDIT: I didn’t mean “be careful” as in “don’t say these things,” I agree with you all-she should DEFINITELY say these things. I mean “be careful” as in “don’t walk to your car unattended, answer the door without checking, talk to police, or take any meetings with someone you don’t know.” - that sort of careful.
Fuck that fearmongering shit.
AOC rocks, and everybody who talks like her rocks.
I'm actually happy that she's willing to take the risk.
We wouldn't be here if more people had taken risks before now.
Looking at you judge Juan Merchan. Capitulation doesn't protect you from fascists.
We need more people prepared to not be careful. Being careful means acquiescing to oppression in silence. Real resistance means taking risks.

I don't think she should be careful. If anything, being as loud as possible and staying in the public eye is what all Democrats should be doing. Because if they do start deporting people that actually speak the truth everyone will know when and how it happens. You can't hide it and they can't effectively make a move against her that won't be seen by the entire world. And I think it's a sign that we all need to start doing this. If we're loud and seen instead of raging behind our phone screens it's a lot harder for people to just disappear.

She's literally part of the organizations that should be taking action. It's not supposed to be our job. Senators and representatives are the ones paid to be the checks and balances. The bar has been set so low now that someone in the government saying what is going on is wrong is seen as a win. The bar is buried underground at this point.
