In reply to the discussion: AOC has something to say about her older House colleagues [View all]FromMissouri
(95 posts)Just as the right wing attack machine maligned Hillary for 30 years, they've seized on AOC because they fear progressives who speak their minds and know how to win. And that includes the Russian Troll Farms who post here regularly. Posts designed to create arguments where clear and sound positions are stated are suspect. No need to pay attention to them, though I haven't decided whether "ignore" is a valid option, because I want to know the enemy within. I'm one of those old guys and have been waiting to hear a politician say what she's saying for over 50 years now.
OTOH, I love the rough and tumble of the Democratic primaries, which I've worked on in various capacities for over 45 years. We fight it out when we are selecting a candidate, then we unite behind the candidate we select. Because we understand now more than ever, the alternative.
The trolls are trying to create divisions that will hold over until the general. Uh, that's not how it works. Two party system, and all that. The "green" candidate, Jill Stein, also worked for Putin. Don't forget.
