I just don’t get how you can claim to support AOC and yet not respect that she and Tlaib and Omar have chosen Pressley as an ally and partner in the shakeup that they are doing in Congress.
I completely agree that we need to give people something real to vote for. But blowing off other’s concerns isn’t how we can do that. You might care more about climate change and M4A, while others (who also care about those things) might care more about justice reform, gun control, or abortion rights. Those issues are core to them. And blowing them off as less important is how progressives become a bunch of infighting and politically irrelevant loonies instead of a dominant coalition.
