America is dead. It just doesn't know it yet. Its corpse will continue to twitch for a little while longer while it proceeds to bleed out and each of its neurons fire their last time one by one. We are not America; we're the microbiome that was living inside it. And the infection has won. It's starting to rot and there's nothing we can do to stop it.

They don't care if they protect their party or the people they represent. They care about getting as much personal wealth as possible for themselves. Exactly the same as Republicans but they at least represent a portion of their voters by passing crazy laws for them.

The US democracy is so fucked by the winner-takes-it-all system. In a healthy political system, AOC and the other real progressives would just fuck off and do their own party that would end up with house seats the next election.

I believe there was some discussion about that prior to the election, yes.

All she needs to do as far as I'm concerned is tell us when and where.
