In reply to the discussion: I don't give a shit what anybody says about AOC... [View all]DirtEdonE
(1,220 posts)31. AOC is a sign of how far our party has strayed right
I was 13 when President Kennedy was assassinated. The Democratic Party was a different party then. AOC would have been considered a traditional Democrat back then. Now her ideas are called radical by the very people who moved the political center of this nation to the extreme right.
We need more AOCs to bring our party back to the true center - which is where democracy lives.
The repubicans have shown their true face and we must never forget that face. They can never be trusted again. In reality, the gop should be banned for their treasonous behavior, IMO.
