Yesterday on a conference call democrats laid into Nancy Pelosi for blowing the election and possibly costing the democrats’ control of the House. The major complaint from moderate democrats was the party’s support for socialism and defunding the police. NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has hit back by saying that opposing socialism and defunding the police is racist.
Rep. Abigail Spanberger was one of the many democrats who yelled at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for allowing the caucus to embrace unpopular leftist ideas. She said socialism and “Defund the Police” nearly cost her reelection bid and actually did tank many other democrats.
AOC represents a deep blue district that, as Pelosi once pointed out, a “glass of water could win” if it had a “D: after its name. She has no sympathy for democrats who have to fight for their seats by appealing to constituents and she has no tolerance for anyone who doesn’t embrace her progressive batshit crazy ideas:
There are folks running around on TV blaming progressivism for Dem underperformance.
I was curious, so I decided to open the hood on struggling campaigns of candidates who are blaming progressives for their problems.
Almost all had awful execution on digital. DURING A PANDEMIC.

AOC says democrats lost, not because of whacko socialism but rather a lack of a strong Instagram game, like her. And besides, everything is racist:
So the whole “progressivism is bad” argument just doesn’t have any compelling evidence that I’ve seen.
When it comes to “Defund” & “Socialism” attacks, people need to realize these are racial resentment attacks. You’re not gonna make that go away. You can make it less effective.

You got that? If you are critical of socialism, something that has failed everywhere it has been tried and literally killed millions of people, you are racist. If you are skeptical of the insane idea that getting rid of the police will make us safer, you are also a racist.
As an added bonus, AOC is calling all House democrats who aren’t whacko socialist racists as well.
Take note that AOC used the phrase “racial resentment” instead of racism. Because she’s a special kind of stupid, she blames others for this euphemism that she came up with:
By the way if white communities are getting more comfortable w overt racism or “cultural resentment” (if that’s what they’re rebranding it now) it’s only gonna get harder for POC turnout to save everyone.
Real organizing & strategy is needed that disarms bigotry, not avoids it.

Who are these people responsible for this rebrand? It was AOC one tweet ago. As a member of the white community and unofficial spokesperson, I can say that we’ve never used the terms racism or cultural resentment. Those are race-hustling terms and whitey don’t race-hustle.
In fact, here she is using it again:
How do you make it less effective? Invest in year-round deep canvassing. Data shows that this kind of work helps blunt the force of racial resentment at the polls.
If you’re always running away from convos about race, then the only ppl owning it are GOP. You’ll lose.

I know it’s not always easy to understand what AOC is trying to say, but the message she has with that last tweet is that when people go to the polls and don’t vote for her leftist agenda, it’s racial resentment, which is racism as she has pointed out.
Putting it all together for her: AOC says voters are racist for rejecting socialism and defunding the police and democrats are racist for complaining that these leftist messages don’t resonate with voters.
