AOC stands for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
the newly elected Congress member
DMFs stands for Democratic Mother Fuckers
(Democratic Party’s corrupt criminals who work for big corporations)
DMFs wants to eliminate AOC
but why?
reasons:
AOC is a newcomer
she defeated the 10-term incumbent Representative Joe Crowley
(he was the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House)
AOC won the election without taking any money from corporations
she questions United States’ immoral support of Israel
she wants to raise taxes on people making more than 10 million
(her proposed rate is between 60% to 70%
her simple and humane agenda:
“And the issues I ran on were very clear, and I think it was an important part to us winning: improved and expanded Medicare for all; tuition-free public colleges and universities, as well as trade schools; a Green New Deal; justice for Puerto Rico; an unapologetic platform of criminal justice reform and ending the war on drugs; and also speaking truth to power and speaking about money in politics not just in general, but how it operates in New York City.”
and most importantly
AOC questions her own Democratic Party’s corrupt leaders
raising the class issue is an anathema
for the DMFs, the problem is how to get rid of her
AOC is not Che Guevara whom you could execute
she’s not Salvadore Allende who could be removed in US supported coup
…
she’s is not a radical revolutionary
she’s fighting the battle in a constitutional manner
but it’s a tough battle
US has two parties
both corrupt to the core
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the corrupt queen of the Democratic Party
Donald Trump is the corrupt king of the Republican Party
they both and their parties’ cronies hate progressives like AOC –
and AOC hates the role of money in politics –
the game has started
DMFs and other Democrats have started attacking AOC
DMFs don’t want AOC to encourage progressives to run for office
Rep. Nydia Velazquez (Democrat-New York) is being used to subdue AOC
(they both share Puerto Rican roots)
Velazuez said: they both had “long, long conversation”
she told AOC:
“Washington is a political animal where a lot of the work that you want to accomplish depends on relationships within the Democratic Caucus.”
it is difficult to fight the Democratic machine
in 2016, Hillary Clinton took over the party
and sidelined Bernie Sanders
though Sanders should be faulted too, for not fighting back
what should be AOC’s strategy:
she should join hands with like minded progressives such as Representatives Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and others
then form another party, a third party, which the US needs so badly
only that could change the system somewhat
otherwise those of us who opposed Hillary
in the hope that Trump would fuck up US so badly
that a real revolution would take place …
but the DMCs are a more dangerous obstacle than Trump
it’s almost impossible to even bring some decent changes
forget a real revolution …
