“The left” isn’t arguing about who’s better- we’ve known for years that AOC is better. The reason this is an “argument” is because liberals have finally gotten on board at least aesthetically with some leftist rhetoric after Trump went full tilt fascist and are having this discussion 8 years later.

Posted a new article! This is an older piece I wrote as a rebuttal to so called "Effective Altruism" but I think works to summarize my views on philanthropic approaches to justice and human welfare.
