That’s reasonable. I wish she’d learn already that Bernie is all about Bernie. Hopefully she gets elected and sees the Bernie we’ve all come to see.

She also cozied up to Tulsi.

Thank you @TulsiGabbard! It’s certainly a whirlwind. Let’s change the world together.

I’m not saying Ocasio should have stiff-armed Tulsi’s tweet but she needs to realize that A.) Her win was an extreme outlier and is getting all this attention precisely because socialists have NOT been winning many primaries this year, and B.) these particular allies are divisive and self-serving mendacious fuckers who did nothing to support her candidacy and undermine Democrats at almost every opportunity. Bernie didn’t endorse her, Tulsi didn’t endorse her, these assholes are just hitching their wagons to her now because she won and by beating a high ranking incumbent and being one of the only socialists to win instantly became a national story. Fuck, her opponent in the primary, the Democratic primary Rep she defeated, has already done far more to boost her not only by immediately conceding (in contrast to how Bernie refused to concede to Hillary for months) but by praising her and pledging to do everything in his power to support her campaign.
