    I mean. AOC. Bernie. They’re pretty left and they’re in office.

    I get being cynical, for true. But don’t give up. Winning the election is a new start. We can fix it.

      The fact that Bernie has been in office so long is a testament that there is plenty of room for more like him.

      I respectively disagree. IMO, they’re centrists, Neither are communists nor socialists.

      Both campaigned on being left. But what have their actions been since they got into office? Campaigning and in-office actions are not always the same.

      In Bernie’s case he used to be left, but when Biden got in office he has bent the knee and been milquetoast centrist. And AOC is Pelosi 2.0. Doesn’t care about anything except making money and protecting her own image. She’s full of shit. In any other country she’d be right wing.
