If Saagar and Susan Sarandon are clownplaining, maybe it wasn't a problem (is Bernie evil too?). Met Gala was 7 1/2 months ago for this curious. And it didn't seem like AOC was trying to take credit, but who knows.

I just think it is what it is, it's there, it's a division that's happened.
(I think you misunderstand the complaint about the Met Gala, that was at the same time they asked for her to be involved and supportive and they feel she did not and did not think highly of their potential. And now they are basically crowing that they knew how to do it and she did not. And they feel she wants to take credit for what they did despite her negativity. I do agree with a complaint I saw elsewhere that bartending and waiting tables for small business is not the same thing as a working class job and if that's your only experience, you don't truly know the other kind of life. I know, I did it for many years, it paid for my education, and I got close to many people in it and know it's not at all the same thing, it's actually quite entrepreneurial.)

I've worked in a warehouse - briefly - very much prompted me to get out ASAP. Degrading, overwhelming, feeling of being trapped, exhausting.... Yes, I realized there was ambiguity on her Met timing, whether at beginning of effort 6 months ago or final push. They're complaining about Bernie as well, which might mean too much expectations or both needed to pitch in on the union side if it makes up such a big part of their pitch. And I don't know how insufferabe the main organizing group is.

hmmm sounds like real lefty coalition building to me:

Still unsure, but a rather pro-Danziger article to counter bribery & other charges:

A shame Lulu wouldn't bother a real discussion rather than a broad-brush kill the messenger approach.

I note AOC is showing up with Bernie on Staten Island, trying to make amends, set things right (previously she gave the excuse that Staten Island wasn't her district!)
