(424 posts)One additional tactic I have noticed on DU is the knee jerk response we have to work harder followed making it all on the Democrats to fix. Everyone else gets a free pass. Then it becomes an internal pissing contest where Progressives get called out.
The crazy thing, those ripping on the progressives claim to be smart and in the know.
It is simple, does AOC lie, no. She might have some ideas that are far left of most, but people here feel free to dump on her and the squad, IMO because those people are too weak to actually defend her and find it easier to align with pukes. Then those same people point at youth/progressive turnout and blame them.
Are those people fucking serious? Hey lets shit on a group, tell them to shut the fuck up and get in line, then bitch about them not voting, laughable and lazy. To them, we need to work harder means, progressives need to work harder at getting on board. Realistically the centrists need to work harder, and it really isnt that hard.
Defending AOC and crew from your centrist and puke friends. She is a very passionate and progressive person. Her proposals have been tried is many other Countries so she is far from radical. She doesnt lie, she doesnt demonize opponents, she does fight back. Conversely those strongly attacking her are promoting radical ideas, also promoting policies that have been tried elsewhere, but with catastrophic results, they also attack her personally and lie. So although some of her policies are more progressive, I fully support her right and point of view. She is educated and fully believes in Democracy. As for her biggest detractors, they seem to be the opposite.
See, not even that hard of work. And the bonus, progressives arent being told to shut the fuck up and vote.
MTG, Boebert, Gosar, Jordan, McCarthy, Gohmert, add dozens more puke names. They arent being told to shut the fuck up by other Repukes. Why would Dems feel the need?
And before someone goes down some moral superiority B.S. route, stop. Just work a bit harder.
