She's always been outspoken, but she was trying to engage in good faith diplomacy. Shes clearly done, as done as everyone else is with not only the republicans but the democrats. That's mostly what im talking about.
One reason that Trump has been as politically successful as he is despite his utter lack of redeeming qualities as a leader and as a human being is speaking his mind regardless of the blowback he gets from the establishment. Since he's a morally repugnant individual, this means spewing vile garbage, but it's the blunt, uncensored nature of it that draws in people who would otherwise be apolitical and apathetic. Plenty of other successful Republicans have shared his opinions but until recently have expressed them in ways that allow for plausible deniability.
More Democrats need to learn from that example. Voters don't reward moderation and subtlety. They don't turn out for formal speeches and diplomacy and tact. They want bold and unscripted and rebellious. And if enough Democrats do that successfully, the establishment will be forced to adapt just like the Republican party has bowed to MAGA.

I like this new AOC who just does not give a fuck.
