Green New Deal, Single-Payer Medicare-for-All, campaign/election reform, and ending the wars are not “pet” issues. They are core.
Continuing to elect politicians that say that they’re for progressive policies and then go on to serve the corporate interests would indeed be empty, Pyrrhic victories.
I see Bernie and AOC as leaders of a small but growing group that will serve in the interest of the 99%, not the billionaires and mega-corps. So far I’m having trouble seeing Ayanna Pressley as a reliable ally in this fight. Can you really imagine AOC or Ilhan Omar working as a Clinton surrogate spouting that kind of BS? It shows a disturbing willingness on Pressley’s part to push hard on the wrong side of progressive issues.
