I can't help but feel like half of the "Jimmy Dore people" are plants to destroy the left 
Miss me with "it's not about Jimmy Dore" no, it's not. It's about the ridiculous fixation on eating our own. It's about being counterproductive. It's about kneecapping our movement.

Take a beat and ask yourself why AOC is the target of all of our energy right now? Why we are spending all of this energy attacking/"holding her accountable" when over half of elected Dems don't support M4A?
It's because AOC brings internet points. AOC brings clout and clicks.
This energy/lobbying from the Left voter base could not be more mistargeted or destructive to our movement. We should be BUILDING on elected Progressives not destroying the few we have.

Maybe look at this with even the slightest amount of nuance. AOC and the Squad actually have eyes on the "other side." They have eyes on the backrooms, etc.
Maybe we consider listening to them on how the best way to get Leftist policy passed.

Maybe we recognize that #ForceTheVote has a 0% chance of M4A passed.
Maybe we recognize that there might, just might, be a better strategy than forcing a vote right this second.
Maybe we turn our energy to the 100s of elected Dems opposed to M4A in districts that love it

Because, I'm sorry, but when it comes down to it @AOC is never going to vote against M4A. Neither is the rest of the squad.
Plenty of other Democrats will. That's our target. Reassess who you're attacking and why.

Anytime anyone on the Left says this we get hit with "IF NOT NOW WHEN?"
This is a useless thing to say and is only designed to reinforce your point with no substance. #ForceTheVote is not *when,* nobody is suggesting it ends with us having M4A.
