House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration’s authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.
Can we all collectively elect AOC to represent all elected democrats in the House? She’d get, like, 215 votes on every bill.
I know a person can hold only one position at a time; it was just a funny thought.
AOC is a clown. A preferable clown, but a clown non the less. Why don’t we elect some intelligent, qualified and competent.
Can you elaborate? She had made some inflammatory comments in the past but in the past few months she seems to be the poster child of maturity and determination.
Calling AOC a clown while the GOP in Congress and the Senate willingly kisses the ring to avoid being primaried in 2026 is the ultimate show of clowning around
One might call them a bad faith actor.
I disagree with calling her a clown, but I do worry that it would be hard to get the american populace behind her as that is not an uncommon opinion. A large part of it is likely based on her gender and age, if she was a 60-year old white man with the same ideas, we likely wouldn’t have this problem.
Lol like Bernie Sanders?
“Kamala lost because she’s a woman of color!” was always a pretext for shutting out AOC.
There might be some advantage in electability advantage for old white guys but the outcome doesn’t really seem worth the effort.
AOC would certainly have a bunch of biases to overcome but from everything I can see, she would be a great leader. She seems to have a solid understanding of many spheres including economics, international relations, people, politics, marketing and more. She also seems to prioritize the good of the people over her own power or pocketbook.
She might be harder to get in but it’s absurd to dismiss her as a clown.
Is that what maturity looks like? Lol.
She’s been wildly ineffective, but I’m sure the Dem circle jerk here will tell me to get with the party line. She exists so Republicans can say, “See! They have a lunatic like MTG, too!”. She exists so they can have sound bites for Fox news. She lacks an understanding of how to gain and wield power and that’s a non negotiable part of her job. She would rather put on a hysterical display than do what would make her effective at her job. She is an influencer more than she is a politician and that’s why she resonates with the TikTok generation.
Keep sending Dems money if you want. I’m done after they couldn’t even close Kamala. No real primaries is over a decade and I was still trying to help them. I’m done. The Dems are complicit. They’re not the same because they’re just as bad, they’re the same because they’re on the same team. Democrats have been nothing but controlled opposition for a long time.
Like who?
