I'm saddened to say that living near that area of NYC, I have a couple of good friends who live within AOC's district ... both are hard core lefties (although they deny it, as lefties *always* lie), and one of 'em even claims to be an "independent", which is fooling no one except himself thinking that he's fooling any of us. Both voted for de Bl'Asshole twice (although they deny it), but I ain't fooled, they voted de Bl'Asshole TWICE ... no doubt.

I maintain these friendships because they go back a long way, to my teens ... but still I don't trust any of 'em, no matter how long we'd been friends.

I live in the Boston area and used to be friends with longtime leftist, friends from childhood. I just can’t anymore. I don’t trust them.

I know a few of those to the left of Bernie but maintain they are independent.

Well said.
