If she was smart she’d see how damaging her garbage is to the party, and vote in favor of a bill that benefits her constituents lives. NY gets A LOT of money in that bill. You can say she’s so smart, she’s a good pandering politican…….to the 10% of districts that echo each other on Twitter and pretend they’re smart and popular.
I don't think she cares about the Democratic party as it is. She's called herself a Democratic Socialist. That's automatically not mainstream Democrat. It's not even very liberal Democrat. It's an entirely different category.
Very good GameFace, it’s called “leftist” and I’ve made it very clear what I think of that mindset. The dumb one is someone who cuts off their nose to spite their face.
My username is not two words, nor is there a random capitalization in the middle of it.
I don’t care if you sound smart telling me about bad and unpopular ideas. I care about not losing most districts in America because you mainstream your bad ideas and rhetoric as part of the Democratic Party. I care about things like the infrastructure bill getting through congress, not leftists like AOC holding it up because it doesn’t have every want and wish she wants. The squad would rather have nothing passed before the Virginia Governors race and lose, than get something done for people and help them…..and you know maybe win elections to continue progress.
Well I'm not a Democrat. The one thing I've said is that I will not vote for a Republican candidate (again) until they completely reject Trump and Trumpism. I've posted my Presidential voting history on jazzfanz.com many times but here it is again:
I haven’t voted for a Utah Republican since Huntsman, until last year when I registered to vote in the primary to vote for Huntsman again. Cox has been fine, he’s better than most, as far as redistricting I think his hands were pretty much tied. This is another place where leftists aren’t good for Democrats. If you want the gerrymandering to change you can’t be so unpopular around all the districts except Salt Lake County in the state. The Democratic Party is losing the battle on things like that. You have to get the supermajority legislature down to at least a normal majority before a veto would make any difference on anything. I’ll do all I can to try and see McMullin or Edwards beat Mike Lee. If Romney runs again, I could probably vote for him in the primary because he will probably face an uphill battle within his own party at this point. The Democrats in the race against Lee should just drop out and endorse McMullin. I’m about winning, and leftists kill that ability especially locally.
I'm just going to say Ben McAdams and leave it at that.
Nah dude. It's the leftists fault for running super leftists for congress like Ben McAdams.
Yes. It was pretty obvious that he was merely trolling. I have no problem discussing things with people who have different political views. But there’s got to be some civility and some attempt to listen. After his 6th straight post of, “leftists leftists leftists **** you leftists leftists leftists **** you” it became obvious that he was yet another trashy account from one of our trashy trolls. Dutch could definitely be a possibility. Do we know if jazzy was a Dutch alt? I remember that one guy that posted a lot of crap the Babylonian Bee. Do you? What was his name? Political fan or something?
The frightening thing is the tacit approval of all of the circumstances that lead to him being there with a gun in the first place. That is a scary precedent to set. It basically says we are fine with people proclaiming themselves vigilantes and meting out justice as they see fit. But if others feel threatened by it then they are in the wrong and deserve to be killed for it. Despite the letter of the law this is just wrong on so many levels.
You must be thinking of some deepfake you found on PH. AOC is a moron. She has a degree in economics and doesn't understand basic concepts like how the unemployment rate is calculated. She didn't know it was illegal to cross the US border outside of a border crossing. She took a victory lap at keeping Amazon from revitalizing a warehouse district in NY for their new HQ2 that would have added a boatload of $100k+ jobs because she didn't understand the difference between a corporate headquarters and a distribution warehouse. AOC never goes anywhere that she isn't adored because she doesn't have the mental horsepower to keep from being exposed as an idiot by even neutral parties.
So if AOC wasn't so AOC then the democrats would win more elections. I actually agree with that statement as does James Carville. The democrats are set to get waxed in this next election because they have stopped being pragmatic and are too AOC now.
I am not too far off that although I had a few more third party votes.
Legislators often makes calculated calls. Likely Ocasio-Cortez knew the bill would pass without her, so voted "no" out of protest.
I don't believe you. I expect you are taking a misstatement or an out-of-context quote and deliberately misrepresenting her.
I definitely don't believe you here. Let me guess, she was referring to those who crossed and then went to a border crossing station to claim asylum?
You say that like this is a bad thing.
She's adored in Congress? Have you ever listened to here question anyone in committee?
So, if we were to set a high bar, which politicians impress you?
You have my opinion wrong. I do not think the democrats are propping her up. I think they see her as a problem. She’s not as bad as Rashida Tlaib, who right now is sponsoring a bill to release all inmates from Federal prison, but there is cringe from the mainstream democrats every time she opens her mouth.
Not at all. I disagree with Paul Krugman but I don’t think he’s an idiot. I think he’s wrong but he’s not a stupid man. I think AOC is an idiot because she’s not a smart person. She’s cute, gives a good sound bite, knows how to play to her base, and is very idealistic but she’s not an intellectual powerhouse. She’s just not.
Meh, it is over. There will be lawsuits and whatnot but 6 months from now hardly anyone will remember his name. America is very short attention span these days. I think if you asked 100 people the name of the Special Council for the DOJ who investigated Trump-Russia collusion, possibly 95 of the 100 wouldn’t be able to tell you even with clues like “was portrayed by De Niro on SNL”.
