C’mon Barf, politicians and responsibility are mutually exclusive. And try talking to someone who leans hard right. They will be the first to tell you they would vote for the devil (duh) than vote for a progressive agenda. Just as some of us were voting against Trump versus for Joe, they were voting more against the AOC agenda instead of voting for Trump. Sad but true.
And when in the past 2 years has AOC shown any real willingness to compromise ? She has her agenda and get the f**k out of way. That scares the piss out of conservatives, which is exactly her intention. She’d rather burn it all down than admit she’s damaging Democrat chances. It’s everyone else’s shortcoming if they don’t get on board with her. And I don’t support extremists of any stripe.
Similarly, I have an agenda and everybody should get the fuck out of my way. But like AOC, I have no power to implement my agenda, so it really doesn't matter my attitude towards compromise. No one is offering to compromise with me, they are just using their power to do what they want and ignore what I want.
AOC-the-Demon-leader-of-the-Dems is a fabrication of the Republican party. In reality she's one of 438 members of the House, without any official leadership role or significant seniority or large group of like-minded members to support her.
It's not that far from Republicans saying there is a guy on a random message board who is a Democrat and also claims to be a commie pinko and therefore we can't vote for any Democrat.
The way to avoid that happening is not to pay Sly to ban me. The way to avoid that is for the Democrats running for election to define who they are and what they stand for for themselves, instead of letting the other party tar them as barfo-lovers.
