AOC was never anything but a “progressive” liberal, and she completely sold out not long after getting into office. Have we already forgotten that she voted to crush a worker strike and voted against raising minimum wage? She’s a scab and a career politician working for the wealthy donor class.
Dude, the rail worker strike would have been devastating. Inflation was already rough, supply chains were still fucked post COVID, railways shutting down for days would have fucked businesses, especially small and mom and pops, and restaurants, that were all struggling because of lockdowns.
And they still negotiated with the union and got them most of what the wanted.
How to say you’re a scab without saying you’re a scab: Won’t somebody please think of the economy?! And what happened soon after Congress defanged workers’ safety concerns? The East Palestine derailment catastrophe.
My restaurant never would have survived it. I went into debt to keep my workers paid during this time. I was in a group for small business owners in my city who were in the same boat as me. The economy would have been hurt, sure, but it wouldn’t screw over Walmart and Amazon. It would have screwed over us little guys just trying to get buy.
You can claim to be anti-oligarchy, but big business would have been fine. And a McDonald’s probably would have taken my spot and replaced my jobs with minimum wage drones.
I don’t claim to be merely anti-oligarchy; I’m socialist. And I don’t mean progressive liberal like AOC was or Sanders is, I mean actually socialist.
Anyway, maybe the strike really would have forced you to shutter, or maybe you could have gotten the PPP loans to limp through it. Or maybe in response to the strike, Congress could or would have increased the PPP loans to employers and/or COVID relief funds to families. We’ll never really know.
What are you on about? Buttigieg is one of the most educated, and courageous individuals pushing back against the trump agenda. Along with AOC, Al, and Bernie.
This Pete Buttigieg in a nut shell. Let’s hope people like AOC are the future instead of him.

Okay maybe. He’s standing up to Trump. It just appeared to me he was like that meme during the 2020 primary.
