    Everything she ever claimed she stood for. She hasn’t held to any promises, and has sold out progressives to the Dem establishment again and again and again.

      Let’s see the work you used to come to that conclusion. I’ll wait.

        You want me to rehash her entire political career of fucking over the base to appease Pelosi? There’s a reason people call her AOCia.

          No need for the entire rehash–feel free to just cherry pick some votes from her track record that her base expected her to vote one way, but she voted another. Since she’s apparently done so again and again and again, that shouldn’t be too hard for you, as you seem to follow her career closely. When politicians do that kind of thing frequently enough to build a reputation, someone usually compiles those instances. A link to such a compilation would also work to sway your detractors.

      Legitimately curious about this. Since the sources I read don’t mention this, I am afraid I’ll be doomed to relying on propaganda unless someone educates me. Please help me by providing examples of AoC selling out, and ideally link to the sources so that I may enlighten myself in the future. Thanks!
