@ramash95 Things will change when this country has a real opposition party.
Until then we will just seesaw between two different parties who get paid by the same billionaires, defense contractors and lobbyists for a foreign government until everyone is dead or the planet is uninhabitable.
I was worried about keeping up with my $1000 a month insurance premium, but since a congress member who has healthcare (and makes more than me) might lose their job, I guess I'll just struggle. After all, whom among us would be willing to lose their job for their principles?
In 2018 .@AOC told us she couldnโt oppose Nancy Pelosi for speaker because doing so would hurt her ability to influence further progress on Medicare for All down the road.
So how much progress has @AOC made since then?

The one thing that @AOC consistently tells anyone who is willing to listen is that she is NOT the type of person who is willing to stand up to power if it costs her anything at all.
Itโs impossible to build a movement around self interested cowards.
โMore than a million people signed a petition asking @HouseDemocrats to not elect @RepJeffries speakerโ will that carry weight?โ
@AOC reiterates that nobody is running against Jeffries, telling @JulianAndreone โitโs not a race right nowโ so 40+ Dems opposing is unlikely
.@AOC will quote Malcolm X and then a few paragraphs later tell you she canโt actually do anything because she wonโt get the cool committee seats if she does.
Rep. @AOC (D-NY) on Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) bid for House Speaker: "There is one candidate in this race...I think that everyone is far more concerned with what that leadership means."
