Phony Progressive AOC Targets the Only Decent Human Being in the Race
AOC and the "Sqaud" -- Shilling for the Party of Neoliberalism, Censorship, and Forever War
Yesterday, AOC, the lowest of the low — and I mean the dreg of all dregs, scraped from the bottom of whatever slag heap they found her under — decided that the best way to satisfy her donor class, which funds criminals like Pelosi and Genocide Joe, would be to attack the only person in the race with any dignity or integrity, Dr. Jill Stein.
And here I thought I didn’t have a topic for this weekend.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez always delivers.
Of course, after scolding Ms. Stein, her moral and intellectual superior in every way and perhaps the only candidate who’s not a sociopath, Stein immediately pointed out the congresswoman’s total hypocrisy on Gaza and her support for Biden, a genocidal war criminal.
But the most telling sign of how utterly irredeemable AOC has become is the rant itself. She starts talking about politics as if Democratic Party Machine tactics are something to be lauded. “If you’re not adding city council seats and pushing for blah, blah, blah…”
Ridiculous.
Stein's whole point is that the entire way the Democratic Party functions is wrongheaded. To critique Stein for not behaving like the Democratic Party Machine means you’re missing the point entirely.
But the Dems exist to miss points, to obfuscate, to turn the simple into a terribly harebrained mishmash of hollow virtue signaling. This is especially true of the Squad and the Justice Dems: sheepherders for a pro-war, anti-labor party who hide their depravity beneath the cloak of identity politics.
How many of you feel better because we have an African-American Secretary of Defense helping to slaughter innocent children? Is the sting any less bitter, knowing that Lloyd Austin, a member of an oppressed minority in a racist society now has the chance to be as depraved as his fellow white citizens and engage in Genocide?
I’m sure the people who are pissed at the Democrats — which should be 100% of the population — are close to realizing that they’ve been bamboozled. In fact, AOC’s actions prove it. Her smear was timed to come right after polls showed a surge in the number of voters supporting the Green Party ticket.
I was about to say that her indoctrination is complete, but I seriously believe AOC was handpicked for this role. Indoctrination wasn’t necessary. And given the fact that not a single Justice Dem or member of the “Squad” has called out their own president as a war criminal, it further strengthens that conviction.
What have they done, these fierce warriors for the people?
Ro Khanna has been a vocal supporter of the Ukraine Proxy war despite formerly stating bluntly that regime change is not the answer.
Ilhan Omar joined AOC and feckless wonder Bernie Sanders back in July to save Biden’s candidacy, putting themselves on the line for a wealthy white man whose main claims to fame are genocide, graft, censorship, and destroying the First Amendment.
Justice Dem Jamaal Bowman voted to fund the Iron Dome despite his claims that Israel is committing genocide.
Raúl Grijalva, another critic of Israel, followed AOC and simply didn’t vote when it came time for Iron Dome, which is as good as a “yes” vote.
Still, for me, the worst betrayal and the first sign of the disingenuousness and duplicity of the Squad came at the very beginning, when they had a bit of political capital and a great chance to use it. Yes, I’m talking about Force the Vote.
The video I just linked to is a good, short encapsulation of what went down. Essentially, Jimmy Dore asked the Squad to withhold its support for Pelosi as Speaker in return for a floor vote on Medicare for All.
The Squad caved.
Well, they wouldn't say they caved. They ran around like Chicken Little screaming about nonsense like Kevin McCarty becoming Speaker and not wanting to lose Pay-Go. PAYGO, or “pay as you go,” is a budget regulation that requires tax cuts and mandatory spending increases to be offset by tax hikes or cuts in mandatory spending.
Those are the absurd reasons behind scuttling a vote on one of the most important issues for working-class people and their families in half a century.
AOC was the Squad member who led the attack against Dore and scuttled the vote.
This is not because their constituents don’t support single-payer. The majority of both Democrats and Republicans want it, and that’s backed up by the Pew Research Center. People by and large have come to see that our healthcare industry in this country is a shambles.
So, just a short little reminder this week: AOC endorses a War Criminal for president and during her tenure crushed a vote on Medicare for All, which would have transformed this country and made heroes out of her and her party.
There’s only one way to explain why we’ve been betrayed by the most vocal of “progressive” Democrats: They were never progressive to begin with. This is how the Democratic Party operates, mendaciously, destroying the reputations of decent people as it helps funnel money upward to billionaires, making sure the war machine continues to rage on, unfettered by the trivial concerns of the people whose lives it claims.
