I wouldn't really care so much about this but the fact that she cites Yugoslavia as an example of a model foreign intervention is so funny like what burger eating american who wants to pay less for medical bills can even remember what a yugoslavia was. Then you read she was a international relations major in DC and it all clicks.

Lab grown monster and burgerlanders still fall for it, at least bernie had credentials and AOC her "working class nyc bartender" origin story.

Aocia was staffer for some congress shithead non? They are all compromised paintjobs, maybe outside of rashida and even then her foreign policy is dodgy on other issues

I think pointing this out for people is valuable radicalization though. It cracks the shell of liberal naivety and shows how much of what the establishment considers as acceptable political change is manipulated behind the scenes.

Those people aren’t fit to lick jesse jackson boots, so seems to me there is a degradation in that crack the shell->find radical pipeline since the 70s. I don’t understand why people aren’t running on radical shit lib shit: slash pentagon budget, remove military bases, bomb tel aviv, declassify cia docs. They are all popular, in a fashion, outside of blob and i never hear them from anyone. It’s not even means of production or proletariat, just idiosyncratic american conspiracy mix, throw in some rants about high beams and google, and it might be enough to at least get to 2nd place
