(43,408 posts)52. nice conflation of an over 5 month old photograph with today's activist rally(not organised by AOC)

Quote from the video
We need to tell her (Speaker Pelosi) that weve got her back in showing and pursuing the most progressive energy agenda that this country has even seen. This is about unity. This is about solidarity and the fact that we are going to make a better future for our kids, and we know that she is going to be there with us. That's what this is about."

You can criticize Manchin for his policies all you want -- OUTSIDE the context of a general election

Constructive criticism of Democrats is allowed. Ocasio-Cortez is not running for anything now.

Is being in a picture with someone an endorsement of their electoral strategy?

I imagine a young woman being courted by Sarandon would be a profound experience.

Sarandon's Democrat-hating reputation had already been well-established in June.

Killjoy.Why you got to point out that wasn't a relationship, she met her canvasing for her?

Sarandon was speaking out on Trump's behalf in 2016. No Democrat should accept her support. nt

You are implying a relationship when there wasn't one. What about Henry Kissinger?

Kissinger was't a Democrat who called for Republican Trump to win...that is why. You can admire GOP

Sarandon is irrelevant. I heard a Democratic message, policy, party line from AOC.

Democratic women should not be bashed for taking a picture with a supporter.

Taken well before Sarandon had established her pro-Stein, anti-Democrat reputation.

She had pukes defining her from the start. Just like Pelosi they are trying to ruin her name.
