Disappointing take. My guess is she’s just not very informed on the allegations.
It’s not something to ignore and sweep under the rug. But it’s also something you should look into the context and fucking have a discussion with the guy about, instead of making a unilateral public statement that plays right into the DNC establishment’s hands. Very frustrating and disappointing move on AOC’s part.
Isn’t it the Democrats that go around saying “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”?
Yes, but when they say it, it does not refer to past personal mistakes, it means you should ignore that their publicly stated agenda is to fuck you over for money.
I deleted my previous comment because I wanted to sit on it a bit more.
Technically she isn’t wrong, you should look at the material and make an informed decision.
However, I feel she goes out of her way just a tad too much to distance herself. Also, don’t tell me she isn’t aware that political hit pieces/smears are a thing. She’s been fighting of Fox News and the like for years now.
Agreed, disappointing. At the very least she could have gone with a “no comment at this time”.
AOC is still earning my trust back from her vote to send weapons to Israel, which she swears she will never do again. She’s not wrong about concerns about Platner but I dont want to hear that from her.
You hit the nail on on the head. Both of them have lost significant credibility as progressives and it is a bit ironic that she is the one pointing it out. It is good she is doing it, but it is weird.
