Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused J.D. Vance of hypocrisy on free speech, citing Trump administration threats against lawmakers.
In a post on X, she said, “@JDVance, you lied to the world in Munich,” referencing his claim that the U.S. values free speech.
She pointed to “border czar” Tom Homan’s push for a criminal probe into her immigrant rights webinar.
Vance, speaking in Munich, criticized European censorship, calling it election interference. AOC warned of authoritarian tactics aimed at silencing dissent.
Why does the DNC let spineless cowards like Jefferies and Schumer run the show instead of someone like AOC? Oh right, money.
They simply want this. It’s the only logical scenario at this point. We need to primary every single Democrat that accepts corporate money tbh.
Primary them out of a canon into the sun.
The DNC deliberately keeps a few token “progressives” to defang otherwise radical democrat constituents. People like AOC give working people the false hope that the DNC is shifting left and aren’t entirely bought out by the owner class. No official of the Amerikkkan government will get us out of this mess.
What’s your proof of the owner class keeping AOC as a token DNC member? AOC was duly elected in New York in a primary and election when her competitor massively outraised her campaign.
I agree that the DNC is very entrenched and it’s not going to move left on its own, but it’s really up to more progressives to launch Democratic campaigns across the country. I need evidence before I buy the idea that AOC asked for special permission from oligarchs/party seniors.
I’m not claiming that the owner class orchestrated her election in some clandestine way, or that AOC had to cozy up to special interests to win.
I’m claiming that AOC’s presence in the DNC defangs otherwise radical working people, and the DNC use this to their advantage.
That’s at least a plausible idea… but still unlikely in my view. Realistically, if the DNC instead ostracized AOC and members like her from the party, would other organizations with enough national reach really form in its place? Maybe yes, maybe no if you asked me but it’s not a given that it would.
Yea I know, the first thing I think of when I hear a democrat say something good is “why do democrats suck so much?”
Stop, AOC, you’re making them blush. This is their nature.
Vance right now, “I feel like she really gets me, you know?”
