Great, at least two more years of this antisemite, possibly more. Maybe she’ll take the hint from the fact that her win was a bit underwhelming and tone it down a notch or two, but I have my doubts.
I do hope some of the “moderate heroes” here get a little more nuanced in their views of progressives, and don’t say that all of us are the same and are “radical extremists” or whatever. AOC and Omar are not at all the same, and plenty of progressives legitimately want to help people and make this country more equitable, even if you question the effectiveness of their solutions. We’re part of the party, and maybe you could focus on trying to defeat the ones who actually are bigoted and harmful to the cause, rather than wishing for all of us to go away (kudos to those who already do this, you know who you are.)
I mean my main issues with AOC is that she keeps backing primary challenges to her colleagues and it's dividing the party. However, that is still far better than Omar and Tlaib's open anti-Semitism, also I hope if AOC accumulates tenure in the House, she'll be more likely to not want to primary her colleagues. Also progressives like Warren and Pressley aren't focused on primarying their own colleagues and are willing to work with more moderate members, and I think that they are a valued new part of the party. I'm just worried that AOC's going to try to primary Schumer or something in 2022, and she just really shouldn't unnecessarily pick fights with the party. Warren and Pressley both understand this, which is why I think that they're perfectly fine.
