AOC can't singlehandedly do whatever she wants. She is one of 535 members of Congress. She still has to work with people in order to get things done.
Words and their definitions are important. A grifter has no beliefs. They go wherever the money goes.
What is AOC gaining? What is she blocking? What is she not speaking up about? If fame and fortune is what she really desired, she could have it 10 fold.
Again, calling her a grifter is just flat out wrong. You can call her politically naive or politically stupid, but calling her a grifter is saying she's just been faking all her positions this whole time, it's just ignoring the realities of her power, her position, and maybe even her capabilities.
She can believe what I believe, and still be ineffective at getting things done.
Is Bernie a grifter because he dropped out and supported Biden? Is Sam Seder, Vaush or Anna Kasparian grifters because they didn't support #Forcethevote? Just because someone disagrees with how you think things should be done doesn't mean they don't believe in getting those things done.
The "attention" that AOC generates is largely negative. She gets shit on by the right, and she gets shit on by the left, and then the Jimmy Dore type far leftys shit on her. She's damned if she does, damned if she doesnt.
