Why is everyone so afraid to say no? There is no law that compels you to make the president smile. There is no law that says you must deadname missing children. Call their bluff or the extortion continues. NMEC has the upper hand, legally and politically. Have some dignity and honor your mission.

One academic theory I think helps explain these democratic socialist to MAGA swings that AOC is documenting is Hirschman's "Exit, Voice and Loyalty." I think these voters think the solution is exit and they see both Bernie and Trump representing that anti-establishment energy.
