[Not about Platner] I'm sorry but what kind of horseshit from AOC is this? Her endorsements supposedly require a track record, yet Saikat Chakrabarti gets NO endorsement. Sick of years of AOC treating her potential supporters like we're stupid. [Not about Platner]

This is not about Platner.

I'm sorry but what kind of horseshit from AOC is this? She has a process for endorsing people, you see, it requires a track record. So Platner has no record in progressive politics [I agree], and therefore gets no endorsement.

However, Saikat Chakrabarti gets NO endorsement despite his past work in progressive politics. Notably, her own firing of Saikat coincided with her pivot towards appeasing Party leadership.

I'm not the sort of person who goes looking for reasons to write off AOC, but over the last 4+ years I constantly see examples of her treating her own supporters as though we're stupid, coming up with excuses for why she does what the Party demands of her, rather than challenging them.

I wish she would be honest and say she's not the person she used to be, and that she's come to "understand things better". It would create less of a backlash when she betrays people's trust in the future. (Not even counting when she drops out in 2028 and endorses Newsom.)

This is not about Platner.
