    Apologies for offering my understanding of what you said, I really don’t understand your expectations here. That all politicians stop playing the game starting with AOC? And that will somehow bring down the two party system? But again, here we are talking about what is a better strategy which you insist is not the case.

      If it is to be stopped, it has to stop with someone. The AOC of today is not the AOC of the first campaign, and that’s by design of the game. Not faulting get that out happened, but she’s been in the game long enough to know only billionaires and corpos are winning by these rules.

      A drop => a trickle=> a stream=> a flood

        Are we expecting her to dismantle the master’s house with the master’s tools by throwing away the tools? My expectation is that she will use the tools to do harm reduction so that organizing lasting change becomes possible.

            And not embracing a diversity of tactics is leaving power at the table for the capitalists to take.

                If you have some newly invented tactic I would love to hear it

                  Oh gnoes! We keep trying what doesn’t work and moving right! But trying something new certainly won’t work, let’s try this old thing again, surely it will work this time! 🤡

                    I’m still not seeing anything new here. At least invent new insults.

      That’s why Democrats today are right of Reagan.

      No apologies needed, thanks anyway
