Red Rose twitter turning on AOC...

[SidDithers]

apparently, she's not giving Bernie enough love. Noted Berner John Cusack dragged her, and it started a wave.

Link to tweet

Edit: it started because AOC said on MTP that Bernie should wait until the NY Primary to ask for her endorsement.

1. Really Siddy?

2. Aw, poor babies.

[CentralMass]

3. Oh well. I'm sure everyone involved will get over it. Except those who are trying to stir it up.

[CentralMass]

10. Well..

You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."

6. Never heard of "red rose twitter" and can not, for the life of me, know why we care. n/t

[Takket]

12. Me either. Why do we care about this person?

[Bleacher Creature]

23. Same here. No clue why I'm supposed to care.

8. the hero worship and deification some on our side engage in

is ridiculous sometimes.

[Lotusflower70]

9. Lol

i replied that there is nothing wrong with learning from intelligent and experienced women. I wonder what the response will be.

[pampango]

11. She doesn't retweet the right people often enough. I can't support her? I've seen shallow reasoning

before but this takes the cake.

What happened to policies, electability, pushing the country to the left?

[Iggo]

16. The twitterverse. Ugh.

[Renew Deal]

15. Bernie runs on his ideas, not on his accomplishments

AOC knows this

[Apollyonus]

21. Of course

there are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more ideas

[melman]

17. lol

This thread is a big fail. How embarrassing.

[ismnotwasm]

19. Jesus. She's doing her job

She’s being honest. She’s, what 28? She’s likely to have a long career ahead of her.

[Apollyonus]

20. LOL

[ecstatic]

25. +1. nt

[SunSeeker]

22. After listening to Warren's speech today, I think AOC might go with her.

She laid out a great civil rights agenda and an ultra-millionaires tax. That should entice AOC.

[samnsara]

24. its starting again...

[Caliman73]

26. Well that meets one of the criteria for a cult.

You can be a darling one day and then be ostracized for not showing enough deference and honoring the supposed leader. I am not even talking about Bernie Sanders here. I haven't seen anything from Sanders criticizing AOC. This is about his supporters who seemingly try to deify him and get mad because AOC isn't claiming to be "nothing without him". indeed.

AOC has espoused some Democratic Socialist views and naturally she would be aligned with Sanders. She is also her own person, used her own talents to get elected, and has her own political agenda. I am sorry but she does not owe Sanders any kind of continuing loyalty. The only people she owes anything to are the people who she represents.

27. I Am Amused & In Vibe With Your Post

[Irishxs]

28. When you are new, listening is very important.

AOC seems quite good at speaking...not so good at listening.

[ADX]

29. Agreed...

...Some people would do well to remember the old adage: "you have two ears and one mouth so you should generally listen at least twice as much as you speak...
