when she goes on Leo Laporte's tech podcast (which itself is mainstream/pro corp) she talks like a regular dem political aspirant, very safe and fearful of stepping over whatever boundaries they enforce for themselves, nothing progressive in her messaging

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
Its a misrepresentation that the title called her an aspirational congresswoman, she ran once in 2020, didnt make the Ballot, and isnt running again. To my knowledge anyway.
Sorry. I agree the dems suck but Autism says I have to be accurate here.
aspirational congresswoman
She was an aspirational congresswoman the way someone that buys a lottery ticket is an aspirational millionaire.
I've only seen incredibly stupid takes from this person on Twitter like way back in the Obama days I think. I'm not surprised
"Free college and legal weed only" pop-progressives are wreckers against actual leftism.
You have to be completely delirious to believe Marxist-Leninists took over anything in the Democratic Party. One look at their foreign policy towards China shows that isn't the case. She's tried to run before and lost. Can't really see this going anywhere than a one-time stint before falling off after the novelty wears off. And that's being generous.
even AOC and bernie, mildly centrist liberals, were too much for them. believing that outright marxist leninists would have any foothold in the dem party is pure delusion
I've never been inclined to credit her for much more than making the right people (g*mers) absolutely seethe, but this is especially wild. Maybe she's angling to be a sort of democrat Blaire White.
Wu: Tankies sounds like a cool title for a Wu-Tang Clan album.
Who the fuck groups transwomen with tankies?
Sure I can understand how you could consider a radical political perspective to be harmful. Fine. Whatever. I can accept that political stability is preferable to change, even if that change improves people's lives.
But how are trans people implicated in that?
