It's worth noting that aoc is also a fake progressive - when bernie really needed her help in the primaries, she stopped supporting him.

She's trying to build a career for herself and she doesn't have a rich family or decades of grassroots campaigning to back her up. Her career will always come first right now. Maybe if she's still around in ten years she'll be able to afford a conscious.

Yeah, right. She kept up the pretense until she was sure she'd never lose her first primary as an incumbent. She ain't getting off the gravy train to fight for the little guy. She is essentially an influencer politician. No actions of real consequence, just squawking thru social media, raising her media profile.

I saw that Ted Cruz introduced a bill for term limits (PLEASE!!! and make it retroactive!) -- to me any of them who refuse to support term limits are demonstrating it's all about them and their power trip. Once they're entrenched, you can't be rid of them and they can be bought by the highest bidder. It becomes financially impossible for anyone to unseat them.

Dianne Feinstein, and she just keeps getting re-elected. No shame.

And adding to this, Finn, she originally ran as a fierce progressive (I think with the justice democrats) but after getting into office she declined endorsing other progressives who supported the same issues!
