Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has “been with the Republicans” since Congress returned, after the Michigan Democrat endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the midterms.
“She’s been with the Republicans ever since she’s come back. So she’s been on the Republican side of the aisle,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show” that aired Thursday.
“This is just the epitome of a certain kind of transactional politics,” she added. “And it’s really sad.”
She’s going to switch parties. They can have her. Then she’ll lose her election in 2028.
Like Sinema she may try to go Independent but her cover is blown and at this point she may take more from Republicans than Democrats lol.
Really dodged a Fetterman shaped bullet there
Has been a vassal for the Israeli state.
It seemed clear to me: Israeli handlers told her to jump, and she immediately obliged.
Good riddance to her. I can only hope to see all of them kicked out of our government and military affairs during my lifetime.
She received over $15,000,000.00 in AIPAC donations. Hrmmm…
The worst part is that’s just money that our government has sent over to Israel. It’s like money laundering for traitors.
Think this is more embezzlement than money laundering. Not that either is a good thing.
It’s money laundering in the sense that it starts off in a state where it can’t be used for the purposes they want, then they send it out into the world, a big chunk of it vanishes, and it comes back in the condition that it can be used to finance their campaigns.
36 million now, according to Track AIPAC
If Stevens had just stayed hidden in the Republican cloakroom for a little while longer, no one would ever have known.
And no, I’m not even joking: that’s literally where she’s been hiding.
The “moderate” Dems are just Republicans in sheep’s clothing. It’s a large reason why the symbolism behind removing Jefferies and Schumer is so important and not merely symbolic.
We have to start acknowledging that we now have a THIRD party - The Israel Party - that straddles both of the traditional parties. Many legislators are more loyal to the Israeli Party than either of the trad political parties. Dems like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, or Jared Moskowitz, will side with Israel before they support Democrats.
We need to encourage Democrats to NOT be part of the overlap.
I’m curious as to who you would define as these “moderate democrats” outside of Haley Stevens and John Fetterman
They literally point out Chuck Schumer and Jefferies.
So two guys who are very much not “symbolically” Democrats. Idk how you guys take these comments seriously, they’re so over the top ridiculous.
two guys who are very much not “symbolically” Democrats
The minority leaders for the parties aren’t symbolic?
Are you high?
The comments above aren’t talking about their job titles.
Jeffries and Schumer are corpo Dems but that doesn’t make them only “symbolically” Democrats. It does not put them on the same level as Fetterman and Stevens. That’s just conspiracy theory nonsense.
Your mistake is that you believe there are only “two sides”
While the MAGA Nazis may walk in lockstep with Adolf Trump’s ‘vision’, the rest of us have comes from a diverse group with a myriad of our own interests. and our greatest weakness? Our inability to work together to accomplish our collective goals.
Far greater than the Republicans, that is our greatest enemy we must overcome: our inability to work with our own allies to accomplish our collective goals. Democrats never fight any enemy harder than their own allies. That stupid and it must end immediately.
Edit: oh, you all CAN work together, apparently. Too bad it’s in service of the Nazis rather than trying to defeat them…
Okay, now define what you actually want to do. Because if all you want to do is shut him up or impeach him without any reforms to the systems that allowed him to actually gain power then we don’t really have much to actually talk about. If you do have suggestions for economic, media, governmental, and even religious reforms then we do have something to talk about.
Fact of the matter is the circumstances that have lead to Trump are not isolate and if you want to not only defeat the person but also the ideology you must rip it apart at the roots.
What I want to do? Gee, I didn’t know I suddenly got elected to the office.
Lol
Since when do you need to be elected to office before you can express an opinion for the direction you think the country should go?
If holding political office was about doing what the elected representatives want, and not what’s best for their constituents, then what we have wouldn’t be a representative democracy. It would be an oligarchy.
Comments like yours sound like pro-oligarchy.
Gee, it sure seems easy to win an argument when you make your own rules.
Ignore what I said, pretend I said something else, and then hold it against me.
Is this how you deal with every troublesome situation? You just pretend something else happened that you can get yourself out of rather than deal with what really occurred?
See, this is what I mean by bad faith trolling. Come back with something rational or don’t come back at all.
When did I make up any rules?
This is what you said:
What I want to do? Gee, I didn’t know I suddenly got elected to the office.
That seems to directly imply that you believe someone needs to be elected to office before they can talk about what they think should happen politically.
So what I said wasn’t a strawman. It was a response directly to the content of what you said.
Is this how you deal with every troublesome situation? You just pretend something else happened that you can get yourself out of rather than deal with what really occurred?
This whole paragraph seems like projection because that describes pretty well what you’re doing in multiple places in this thread. Just accusing people and being combative and antagonistic towards any semblance of dialogue.
See, this is what I mean by bad faith trolling. Come back with something rational or don’t come back at all.
It’s like you’re parodying logic. Is the obvious role reversal part of a joke that I’m not catching, or are you seriously this self-unaware?
Lol, that’s a lot of words for, “I can’t accept a responsibility for my actions, so I’m just gonna blame you instead“
And it’s still a stupid argument.
I was trying to illistrate a point about how even if folks may technically agree that something is an issue they may or may not agree on how to solve said issue via dialog with you, mostly cause you were so quick to decry the active political friction that makes action rough at best. Which is to say I was trying to use a rhetorical strategy to make a point, which funnily enough your non answer illustrated quite well.
While it may seem silly such dialogs amongst laymen is useful. Also I may have listened to some Socratic dialogues early and my brain is currently in a very argument happy state right now and will probably be that way for the next couple days, don’t know if that’s better that the depressive state I got into after reading Of mice and men.
Oh, right, you were just trying to have a “dialogue“.
lol
Aye, that I was. I like arguing and a dialogue is simply are an argument where I don’t start throwing profanities around like a fish hawker.
The rest of us just call that sort of adversarial, bad-faith bullshit “trolling”
Much like Sinema, there are MANY of these DINOs who act as Republican sleepers, just waiting for their activation to inflict the most damage. Once that capital is expended, well, then time to be open Republican.
Schumer, Jeffries, Stevens, Fetterman are Sinema. There are many more (e.g., DWS in FL, and Gilibrand in NY)
This is why. Nothing will change until we get these traitors out
Lol they’re not just Republican sleepers, they’re quite literally foreign nation assets as well. Cuba is unsurprisingly pretty good at this
Lol Cuba? Which one is an asset from Cuba?
