Sanders Advocate AOC Admits “YOU! Need to Give Up Control and Power” (to Them).
If I have said anything, it is that the Left only cares about power. If you help them, they will pretend to be your advocate until they have power and can ignore you. If not, you are the enemy and must be defeated. Socialism doesn’t work any other way, and AOC just admitted as much.

Use of the Power of the State to Bully & Live at the Expense of Others
Henry Adams observed, “politics as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been a systematic organization of hatreds.” Maybe marshalling hatreds isn’t everything there is to politics but it is a part of the game.

FB Doodlings: Ed’s post supporting Steve Stepanek call to get to work is getting a bit of play
Right off the top, let me make it clear that 1) I’m an Independent, 2) I think Stepanek is right in demanding, in NE Patriot parlance, “do your job” from those that actively sought election to the NH GOP Committee (delegates and members both).
