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.
“Kamala lost because she’s a woman of color!” was always a pretext for shutting out AOC.
Lol like Bernie Sanders?
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.
Like who?
