There's a lot said in here, but I would like address a few points that I think are arguable.
1. "AOC doesn't deserve credit on Amazon pulling out."
Perhaps. But there's no denying that she was very vocal about denouncing the already in place deal which riled up a boisterous minority.
By constantly tweeting about how Amazon is evil and making it a talking point in all of the many interviews she did, she certainly influenced her fanbase to protest the deal.
2. "The people there did not want Amazon coming in."
Obviously, the vocal minority did not want Amazon there. But a survey by the Siena College showed that the majority of New Yorkers wanted Amazon there. I quoted the statistics in a previous post, but there's no denying that the majority of NY voters and the vast majority of minority voters in NY wanted Amazon to come into their neighborhood. Why does AOC and her supporters not address this? And since AOC seems to differentiate between "real" New York and "not real" New York, the responses to the survey were from actual, real New York voters. Some may argue that there were going to be detriments to the neighborhood with a gigantic corporation moving their headquarters in there. But, like AOC seemingly claims, isn't that for the local communities to decide? Whatever the trade-offs may be for Amazon coming into their neighborhood, the local NYers already knew about the deal and approved the deal by an overwhelming majority. So why does AOC consider it such a great victory that Amazon pulled out when the "real" NYers who actually live and vote there wanted Amazon to come in?
3. "Dark money."
AOC loves to talk about dark money, and she addressed this in a congressional hearing with the IRS. But why does AOC and her supporters conveniently overlook the fact that her chief of staff (who is a silicon valley millionaire) was hired by her after he paid for her campaign? And what about the fact that her boyfriend was paid by this millionaire campaign contributor/chief of staff as the sole "marketing consultant?" Will AOC be addressing her own dark money issues or is it only dark money when Republicans do it?
4. "You need those jobs to push for the GND."
Ok, so the argument seems to be that in order to fund the GND, new jobs need to be created. So why was AOC so against Amazon bringing in 25,000 new jobs to NY? The argument seems to be that the numbers were "extremely optimistic." OK. Even if it's not 25,000, let's say it's only 20,000 or even 15,000. These are high tech, high paying jobs that Amazon was going to bring to the city of NY. The majority of these jobs were going to have salaries starting in the six figures. Even the mayor, de Blasio, lamented that Amazon was losing out on the tech talent of NY by pulling out of this deal. So why is it a good thing that AOC and her fans drove those jobs away when new high paying jobs are necessary to fund the GND?
