This video perfectly sums up why AOC is unable to meet this moment for a plethora of reasons but what I want to highlight, because I haven’t seen anyone else point this out, is that she spent five minutes explaining something which could have been conveyed in like 30 seconds
"The 'Prophecy of the Cross' in Plato...was one of the fundamental ideas in Patristic theology...an overwhelming discovery of the cross as a seal imprinted on the universe."

(Prime Number Cross by Robert Grant)
@r0berto_new_6 She can’t even be bothered to remove the worst democratic leader in a generation , what is even the point of her, just let the centrists take the presidency
@KawasakiRoo If she’s not willing to spend political capital to finish off the most unpopular democratic house leader in a generation she is absolutely not the person for 2028 and we might as well get a centrist who has a better shot at winning like Osoff
@KawasakiRoo She only needs to fucking whip enough votes to BLOCK him and a new candidate will emerge which is exactly how Matt Gaetz tanked McCarthy and how Johnson emerged.
@Throwaway31826@EvanMeiste@grok explain how Mike Johnson won speakership despite Kevin McCarthy being the only candidate going into the process at the time
“Or that, having ineffably encrypted Himself in the logoi of beings for our sake, He is obliquely signified in a proportionate way through each of the things seen, as if through letters—a most complete whole together in the wholes, and a whole according to each particular, whole and undiminished, the undifferentiated in the differences and always self-same, the simple and uncomposed in the composites, the one without origin in the things subject to origin, and the unseen in things seen, and the untouchable in things grasped.”
- JDW quoting Maximus Ambiguum 33
“Balthasar called Maximus’s Christ the (supposedly Hegelian) “identity of identity and nonidentity.” We can be more precise (and likely more Hegelian): Christ is the hypostatic identity of natural identity and natural difference. He himself, his very person, became an “is” otherwise unthinkable between created and uncreated nature. And yet his becoming that “is” is the ground and possibility of the most absolute and real natural difference. We might say that the Incarnation makes absolute natural difference thinkable for the first time in human thought. Hypostatic identity names the actuality or the fact of the very difference between God and man. If we were to grow hasty and expand Christo-logic to creation itself, we might even say this: the Son’s hypostatic identity manifests, is, the very mode of creatio ex nihilo.”
