    Palestinians don’t have to remember every time they wake up. It’s been happening every day through their entire lives. They stopped remembering when they can no longer wake up.

    Now we just get to wake up to previously unthinkable innovations in war crimes

    Unlike the resistance years where you’d wake up to a new funny from Donald and resistancely meme on it for several days past its expiration date

      Fucking yes, this is the most baffling part. Every day I’m greeted by videos of limbless children and women being executed in the streets under Democratic fucking rule, but its not something that offends them because Trump isn’t doing it.

    I’m sure it’s been said already 30 times in this thread but saying this while the worst extermination event in a century is not only happening but actively funded by our government is actually insane

    Genocide for the last year. Abortion lost and nothing but hand wringing like the last 50 years. Trans rights lost, criminalized in many states - Dems just just look the other way. Ukriane war ever eding a nuclear war.

    Has she been long under a rock or in a a bubble?

      She’s playing the long game. Have to humiliate yourself for the greater good before you have reached the top and finally reveal your power level.

      Courts also saying they’re okay with hearing cases without any standing so they can be legislating from the bench, and that neither branch can impose rules on them.

      Guess it’s easier to ignore that when know it doesn’t effect you :/

    Last I remembered your disgusting country literally threw every women in America under the bus while more or less leaving them for dead with Roe v. Wade overrule while continuing destroying the rights of LGBTQ people but I guess thats just somehow no big deal and isn’t enough for a “resistance nonsense” Alexandria.

    Interesting how she described it as “resistance nonsense” significant slip on her part, shows she consciously perceived herself as simply playing a role all those years, no better than theater

    to answer the thread title: yeah kinda probably

    Power at the national level needs replacements occasionally, but there’s strong evidence AOC was always astroturfed and was always positioned as a sheepdog - it sucks but it’s probably time to revise your understanding of her career to include a removal of any sincerity in her image at any point. It was always a work.

    But sometimes one or two oddballs actually end up there, but I really think in general, these folks get bent over and read in like every state asset does. Bill Hicks had a joke that the CIA shows you a different angle of the kennedy assassination - I think it more likely the second you fuck up you are put in a position to be blackmailed - that Diddy/Epstein pedo shit surely goes deeper than a couple of pimps getting one over on some pop culture celebrities - we know better than that - and while I’m not saying everyone in congress is a nonce, i am saying they either did work that got them the nod to take the position from powerful people, or they have blackmail. I don’t think you stay in the club otherwise.
