Amazon tried to unseat a couple Seattle City Council members in the last election. It backfired, and Amazon faces a Council that has voted a huge payroll tax onto Amazon in revenge.

So if Amazon can't even control local elections, I wonder where all this supposed political power is?

Also, AOC was instrumental in preventing Amazon from establishing a second headquarters in NY. As a freshman Congressman.

One failure does not disprove a hypothesis.

It's a pretty big failure for Amazon and a big score for AOC.
