I have to say, before AOC, I’d never heard or seen Jo Crowly. Never seen him at any hearing, never heard of any policy, never heard him making any kind of news. Now, this is probably because I don’t live in NYC. But people who DO voted for AOC. And say what you want, she is...
...doing her job. And well. She is representing her constituents. Her constituents are angry & fed up with establishment Dems (yes, even black Dems & Dems of color) being Republican lite. Climate change is happening NOW. AOC has a plan NOW. ICE raids are happening (have BEEN)...
...happening, we know criminal justice in this country is racist af, college is expensive AND WEALTHY FOLKS STILL cheat to get in & take spots away other kids, health care is still expensive, our schools are segregated, billionaire companies are allowed to pay zero in taxes...
...and so on and so on and so on. Last Nov, more BW/WOC and MOC were elected to Congress than ever. On average they are YOUNGER than most establishment Dems. You damn right they’re in there shaking shit up and not waiting to be given permission by the same establishment...
...Dems who supported the incumbents that these women BEAT. The base of the Progressive Party is not the same as the Repub party. We are younger, black/browner, queer, and more progressive than establishment Dems are. We are not looking for Republican lite. Not when...
...scientists been told us we have 12 years before our planet is beyond repair. When AOC said (about Biden) *paraphrasing* “Don’t come up in here saying my plan is too drastic when you’ve been here half a century and haven’t done shit”. When Rashida Talib said to her...
...constituents in Detroit “We’re gonna impeach the motherfucker” she meant that shit. Why? Because we’re all thinking that shit. Fuck him and his whole admin. Fuck him, fuck Mitch, fuck all of them. Now, obviously politics can’t work that way. Or maybe it can cause that’s...
...exactly what Repubs are and have been doing. There’s no *reaching across the aisle* with them. No *compromising*. None of that. And they’re literally breaking laws, splitting up families, tap dancing on the constitution & their rallies are KKK rallies so...
...you have all this energy for these YES BW/WOC who beat incumbent Dems and came to Congress to work on behalf of their constituents who elected them, but you won’t even call for impeachment hearings on this Potus. He’s not worth it...but you have all the smoke 4 the future...
...of your own damn party. Chile...but Nancy sure was on all them magazine covers with the women in town. I’m not a politician. I’m just talkin shit here, but I appreciate how transparent and passionate these women are. That’s how everyone in Congress should be. Look at ...
...Rep. Maxine Waters. She’s been there a long time too? Experienced. Has worked across the aisle. But you see she HAS TIME for 45 and his bs. So it is NOT a generational thing and if I’m remembering correctly, Chuck & Nancy tried to tell Rep. Maxine Waters to hush & sit down.
So you tell me what it is. I have eyes. Ears. I can read. And ever since this fuck ass man became Potus, Rep. Maxine Waters, a Black woman who lived through Jim Crow, saw exactly what it was and LOUDLY called it out everytime & everywhere she could. She was told to apologize...
...and hush. Historic 2018 election brought in a younger, blacker & browner Congress filled with women who had that sane energy. AOC, Rashida, Ayanna & Ilhan are consistently policed by their own party. Yes folks are new and have to learn but Rep. Waters ain’t & doesn’t.
So what is it then??? Folks need to GO. You tout that your party is the party of diversity but when these Black, Brown, Muslim women are consistently on these hit lists from 45 supporters who have the means & ammo to take these women out, you don’t protect them. Same reason ...
...they’re being targeted is the same reason Dem Leadership despise them. Yes, Establishment Dems need to be moved around. Ain’t no back to normal or civility when the other side is doing what they’re doing. And shit if you’re uncomfortable or MAD about being on the right side...
...of history, leave. Get the fuck out. Yes we need all hands on deck but shit, if you aren’t tryna fight the other side who’s tryna kill us all (even their own ppl) you’re in the damn way. MOVE.
