Chapo had a guy on semi-recently who advanced a pretty compelling narrative, not that she was an op, but that she was just never as progressive as her support base wanted her to be. Same thing basically happened with Bernie, everyone who is even just center-left really wants someone to glom onto and these are the best options the system is capable of spitting out.

I've had this hunch for a while. Her initial win came out of nowhere and she defeated Joseph Crowley, a very embedded Democrat who had been around for a while. He was even Democratic caucus chairman at one point. I thought it was a case of Democrats accidentally leaving the door unlocked but now I'm more tinfoil hat

I mean, the congressional ogre was probably an op too.

I doubt she's an op, I think she's just a massive pushover and was always more Lib then her base.

Somebody on here a while back read a book about her and did a pretty good write up, made it sound like she was just a habitual people pleaser, when talking with more left wing people she said more leftwing stuff, when around Lib colleagues she said Lib stuff. It's simple as that.

What’s this theory? I think the system is transforming people like AOC because they probably realize you can’t get shit done when you’re outnumbered by hundreds. It’s not her fault change can’t come from within. But this doesn’t excuse her or anyone of condemning a genocide.
