re: #127 Backwoods_Sleuth

Also, I really think the whole “OMG AOC protested Pelosi!!1!” was just a bunch of disingenuous dimwittery from the usual suspects:

This.

AOC hasn’t said she’s against Pelosi. Pelosi hasn’t said she’s against AOC. AOC and Pelosi have both praised each other for their desire to work on climate issues.

Why the media is acting like they’re in some sort of catfight is beyond me. https://t.co/jJpePCeJeC

I’m almost tempted to chalk it up to sophisticated Kabuki theater on both their parts - AOC can be seen as listening to people who normally feel ignored, while Pelosi can look like she listens to AOC. And taken together, it’s exactly the sort of thing to help drive home, to young Berner types, the importance of showing up to vote for people who can actually win.
