Neither right nor left but bottom 😯

AOC clarifies her message for 2026 reelection: “I’m not running from the left. I’m running from the bottom in fierce advocacy of working class Americans.”
Why is she afraid of rhetorically connecting the left with the working class?
the last year or two i keep seeing people say shit like "it's not left vs right, it's down vs up" and they always get very mad when i tell them "that's literally just left vs right"
anyway she's probably leaning into that
The only difference between communism and fascism is a reflection over the authoritarian-libertarian axis. QED, checkmate, I am very smart.
Her advisors are all Warrenite dipshits who hate the left
1: She's surrounded by a bunch of dem insiders who she relies on after she no longer needed a "left" groundswell to get into office.
2: She got a lot of feedback that some people who voted Trump also view her positively (Yes, really) in 2024 (For "standing up to Trump" and "being authentic") and she for some reason wants to capture that demographic.
She should go Forward Party. Whether an independent, dem, republican, green, etc. Be ethical and put the needs of the many before the few!
Because of electoralism in the US where there has been 2 red scares and what looks like a bourgeoning third. I don't like AOC, but I also don't think that we have to self-identify as "left" to be effective
The whole point of running in elections is to demystify socialism as a boogeyman. Otherwise you're just doing opportunism.
Hate to break it you, but she's always been doing an opportunism
Oh we're definitely doing opportunism.
