The problem here isn’t ideology, it’s oligarchy. These goblins are exactly what money and power makes them.

I repeat this like a broken record but if you paid these idiots $1 more a year and gave them access to political power they’d be Marxist Leninists in a heartbeat
Well, at least we know how to bait the trap.

The more this woman talks, the more I like her:

Oh, she's great.
The crazy thing about her is she’s a former Reagan Republican. Like hardcore Republican.

Vance maaaybe but Stephen Miller is a true believer on a cellular level.

Sometimes it's not just a grift, they really are evil.

I like her but the district she's running in isn't exactly progressive. Maybe the bigger point is narrative shifting and not speaking like a goddamn coward all the time.

She's fearless, well spoken and funny. Her politics are Bernicrat. If I was in her district (country) I'd take that as a win.

Right, which will be interesting in a district full of old money Democrats (Evanston) and an established Jewish community (Skokie). On top of that I'm sure there are some Schakowsky loyalists who felt like she got pressured out by a "TikTok star".

Maybe parts of Edgewater and Rogers Park mirror the areas AOC represents but it'll just depend on who turns out.
