It would be easier to get behind what “others believe” if the system they love so dearly wasn’t a proven failure for anyone who isn’t wealthy. It’s been abused for decades, and all we have to show for it is more poor people suffering. You’re 100% right in that (some) conservatives do disagree with AOC on specific issues; it’s just that those issues in question were/are largely created by and/or supported by conservatives, who have little to offer aside from “we don’t want anything to change.”
This kind of akshually mentality distracts from the issues, which is what you’re doing right now by nitpicking an obviously false absolute statement OP made. Nobody really thinks @ventrix is talking about 100% of all conservatives; to make a claim like that is more misleading and more prone to have a negative impact than anything OP said.
