Worst part is that for a rather large part of Europe, what she and Bernie want isn’t even that radical.
At least for Scandinavia, they’d be center-left.

Just shows how incredibly different we are politically

If we manage to get out of this democratically, it won't be with one huge sweeping swing all the way to what the rest of the world considers the left. Even something vaguely resembling the left from the perspective of an actually functional country would be an insane first step toward fixing this country.

AOC votes against striking workers, she isn't any kind of leftist.

NO TRUE LEFTIST am I right?

She's currently the most left candidate with a chance. The Overton window is shifted and we'd be fuckin stupid to wait for "the perfect candidate"

If AOC is on the ticket, I can't see how I could vote for someone else
