We’re cooked. The conversations of universal healthcare, freeing Palestine, student loan forgiveness…really any policy discussion is toast. AOC on her instagram tonight is out here talking about how Biden stepping down isn’t feasible and she knows how to win elections and blah blah blah. We’re so far removed from making the changes in this country we need that one of our once leading voices of change is the last defender of Biden. It’s crazy, there’s literally no one we can turn to.

AOC doesn't have any power within the Democratic party. You guys think that just because we like her that she's super influential. She's not and if she attacked Biden it probably helps him.

If she came out and called on Biden to drop out that actually probably helps him. It rallies the Liberals to him.

The Democratic party is a liberal party. She's probably close to a socdem.

It's far more relevant that Pelosi and Schumer and Jeffries are calling for Biden to drop out. 

They've pretty much done so openly now. 

Adam Schiff is super close to Democratic leadership. he's been on the record calling for Biden to drop out.

There are reports that Obama has asked him to drop out

The liberal leadership of the democratic party is against Joe Biden now. If you're somebody like AOC there's nothing you can bring to this fight at this point.

If bidens selfish and refuses to work with Democratic leadership he wasn't going to cave just because AOC called him out. None of AOC'S voter base was going to vote for biden anyways because of his support of genocide

Biden was a United States senator for longer than AOC has been alive. She does not have clout with him. If Biden's willing to burn his relationships with people like Pelosi and Schumer who he's known for decades and possibly even his relationship with Obama who offered to pay for his son's cancer treatments, then there is no way he caves because AOC asks him to resign.

AOC attacking Biden literally does nothing. In fact it might help him.

But defending him that much? She is supposed to be an alternative for the Democrats in the future but she gets out of her way to defend Biden aka the status quo. I know she will never be a socialist or communist, not even a social democrat but she clearly likes or tolerates Biden's actions, for her to continue doing this defense for him.

I just hope everyone stops saying AOC is different (she is the less evil neo liberal but still she is one) than any democrat. She is rising in the bourgeoisie party for a reason.

It's possible AOC knows it'll be Kamala and Kamala is worse. She's a cop after all.

Name a single concrete way in which kamala is worse. Biden increased police funding and is one of the fathers of the crime bill.

Biden's whole platform is what it is because he was forced to work  with Bernie in the 2020 election. Nearly every progressive thing he's done is because of that work.

Kamala won't have that "hindrance" and can go straight to fucking progressives.
assistant
That's not Biden being better. That's progressives applying pressure. Kamala was on the same presidential ticket, it would be wise for her to act similarly on that front.

Every other Democratic president in my lifetime stood up to progressive pressure and supported corporatist policies to a far greater extent than Biden has. 

Eg. Obama's nlrb never tried to force an American corporation to rehire workers it fired for unionization attempts.
