We have very few progressive voices in the government, it sucks to have them betray principles we thought they had
They are politicians and they all get elected based on lies to their base.
AOC didn't even grow up in Bronx and campaigned hard on her being a girl from Bronx. If she was willing to lie about where she grew up, why wouldn't she spout bullshit to appeal to her constituents?
AOC calls herself a Bronx girl but also as far as i can tell, always admitted that while being born in the Bronx she moved to a nearby town as a child and went back and forth regularly to see family there. I'm not from NY so maybe I'm not the one to ask, but it doesn't seem that wild that she considers the Bronx part of her personality.
I'd rather be mad at her for substantive things like this vote.
Well born in the Bronx. It's not technically a lie, but it's misleading. Cozying up with Mama Bear Pelosi says it all, though.
Wait we have at least one ? A real one?? Where??!
"progressive" doesn't mean "leftist". Sometimes they agree on policy, but the progressive is just a brand of liberal. I mean, we're talking about a term embraced by Teddy Roosevelt and prohibitionists
ish
