AOC's protest is a big nothing burger [View all] RandySF Nov 2018 OP

It wasn't even a protest of Pelosi Tom Rivers Nov 2018 #1

And it's laughable that Freepers and a few here tried to make a big deal out of it. Kaleva Nov 2018 #2

The point of nothing burgers is to generate lots of negative conversation fescuerescue Nov 2018 #44

Any news if they then protested outside Mitch McConnell's office ? Just asking for a lot of very OnDoutside Nov 2018 #3

Why would they be pissed? Nancy praised them. Kaleva Nov 2018 #5

That's the difference between the experience of Pelosi and the inexperience of AOC. Pelosi knows OnDoutside Nov 2018 #6

Then we ought to follow Nancy's lead and not inflame the situation? Kaleva Nov 2018 #8

You surely have a few to spare ? I'm sure we will be here again soon. OnDoutside Nov 2018 #10

Walking the edge of rude reply there. irisblue Nov 2018 #13

Sure we're only having the bantz, like ;) OnDoutside Nov 2018 #16

I also used to predicate my own behaviors on that of others. LanternWaste Nov 2018 #25

The crayon comment sure reads as rude. nt irisblue Nov 2018 #12

I think it's a simple concept to understand. Follow Nancy's lead in dealing with the activists. Kaleva Nov 2018 #14

Are you suggesting she didn't mean what she wrote? Mariana Nov 2018 #37

Why protest in front of the people who are persistently blocking any and all climate legislation octoberlib Nov 2018 #15

Arf, arf ! OnDoutside Nov 2018 #17

:) Agree. Nancy is thrilled about the increased engagement Hortensis Nov 2018 #4

wasn't AOC there to support Pelosi, not protest her ? JI7 Nov 2018 #7

Yes. And AOC had no part in organising it, nor was she there Celerity Nov 2018 #11

AOC's protest? melman Nov 2018 #9

It was organized by Justice Democrats. Who was on the board of Justice Democrats? George II Nov 2018 #23

AOC indicated she supported Pelosi and that Pelosi had the protestor's back. Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2018 #27

See, there was once this picture of her and a celebrity who she met that canvased for her. Autumn Nov 2018 #39

She was not protesting. She stopped and offered a couple of words in support of SweetieD Nov 2018 #18

I do find her annoying but ignore it as she is not my Congresswoman. Demsrule86 Nov 2018 #21

Oh, noes!!1! The young brown woman wants to make sure we protect the environment. Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2018 #29

That's a rather racist interpretation of the point of this subthread, which you missed entirely.... George II Nov 2018 #30

Oh, yeah, I'm the racist one. Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2018 #33

First, my comments didn't express "rage", but my opinion about this would be the same.... George II Nov 2018 #38

Your race is unimportant to me. Do you know mine? Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2018 #41

Nope, and don't care. MY point is that by criticizing a Member of Congress..... George II Nov 2018 #43

I'll bookmark this for the next time you tell me that I don't want Pelosi as Speaker because Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2018 #45

Don't worry, to be honest I don't recall responding to you in the past and I wouldn't have here.... George II Nov 2018 #46

The word that jumped out at me from the tweet was DEMAND Eliot Rosewater Nov 2018 #79

Inasmuch as I've never told you that, the "next" time is a misnomer. It won't happen but if it did.. George II Nov 2018 #83

That's not how Cenk Uygur's folks (The Young Turks) are telling the story. NurseJackie Nov 2018 #28

It was a pointless "protest" anyway. What they were "protesting".... George II Nov 2018 #31

Democrats should all watch this clip to see how that turd Cenk Uygur is framing this story. Small-Axe Nov 2018 #47

Thanks for smacking down another lie NJ. People claimed she just "stopped by". n/t Tarheel_Dem Nov 2018 #61

Apparently the sit-in and protest signs mean it wasn't really a protest. MrsCoffee Nov 2018 #19

The "Step Up Or Step Aside" protest sign was OFFENSIVE. NurseJackie Nov 2018 #35

I like AOC but am glad she is not my Congress Demsrule86 Nov 2018 #20

She was on the board of Justice Democrats. I don't trust them. I'm not sure Justice Dems seaglass Nov 2018 #22

Cenk, they even name themselves like a RW org. Wintryjade Nov 2018 #26

They don't give much to candidates. In fact, the seven highest recipients of money from JD are: George II Nov 2018 #34

How many family members are involved? NurseJackie Nov 2018 #49

I don't know, but look at that recipient of the highest amount, Brand New Congress.... George II Nov 2018 #53

Climate change is not a nothing burger. aidbo Nov 2018 #32

It wasn't a turncoat event as it was portrayed. It wasn't AOC's protest, she wasn't the organizer. Autumn Nov 2018 #36

Justice Democrats is the organizer. Guess who was on the Board of Justice Democrats? George II Nov 2018 #48

Justice Democrats champions third-party candidates and movements... NurseJackie Nov 2018 #50

"Once Justice Democrats take power...." George II Nov 2018 #51

I honestly question the wisdom (or the motivation) of any politician... NurseJackie Nov 2018 #54

Like they ever will "take power"... George II Nov 2018 #59

The Wayback Machine never forgets... namahage Nov 2018 #62

Thank you so much for finding that. This is what I was saying: George II Nov 2018 #63

Keep in mind, though, that's from March. namahage Nov 2018 #73

They deleted everyone from their site other than four untitled people on their "about" page. George II Nov 2018 #76

Justice Democrats? Ohhhh should that scare me? Because it doesn't. Autumn Nov 2018 #55

Who said that should scare you? You said said she wasn't the organizer, I pointed out WHO.... George II Nov 2018 #58

I don't wonder anymore George.... Autumn Nov 2018 #64

Check it out: George II Nov 2018 #65

So she's on the board of Justice Democrats with another person. I should hate them why? Autumn Nov 2018 #67

Why are you changing the subject? Who is talking about "hate"? George II Nov 2018 #70

I haven't changed the subject. Again. Do you have a link to prove AOC Autumn Nov 2018 #71

I'm afraid nothing short of a notarized affidavit will suffice at this point. George II Nov 2018 #74

You won't get one of those. Someone messaged me that she and Justice Democrats didn't organize it. Autumn Nov 2018 #77

Ah yes, the Sunrise Movement. And just who is behind them, pray tell. George II Nov 2018 #78

I don't know or care but I'm sure someone can find out if they want to bother... Autumn Nov 2018 #80

Different reports say that Justice Democrats organized it. There you go. George II Nov 2018 #81

Can't you just acknowledge you jumped in without knowing what you were talking about? Tarheel_Dem Nov 2018 #72

Nope. Edited. Neither AOC or the Justice Democrats organized the protest. Autumn Nov 2018 #75

It wasn't "her" protest...but spin away. shanny Nov 2018 #40

Well... NurseJackie Nov 2018 #68

Most of politics is a nothing burger. fescuerescue Nov 2018 #42

It was a protest. ismnotwasm Nov 2018 #56

Ain't THAT the truth? NurseJackie Nov 2018 #69

Thank You HopeAgain Nov 2018 #57

Less than a Nothing burger...it's a RW talking point. pecosbob Nov 2018 #66

AOC's protest did not accomplish anything Gothmog Nov 2018 #82

It wasn't her protest but it speaks highly that she, one of the 31 candidates the Sunrise Movement Autumn Nov 2018 #84

Is this another Cenk backed group? Gothmog Nov 2018 #85

I don't watch web blog shows so I have no clue who finds Cenk popular and I just can't find Autumn Nov 2018 #86

She was elected in a dark blue district Gothmog Nov 2018 #87

Not interested in your video. You don't like her, I do. We we don't have anything to discuss. Autumn Nov 2018 #88

AOC made a fool out of herself on CNN Gothmog Nov 2018 #89

The 14th Congressional District primary was almost three months before the more publicized.... George II Nov 2018 #92

I hate the way that New York does two sets of primaries Gothmog Nov 2018 #94

It wasn't that way until recently. They used to conduct their primaries in September, but.... George II Nov 2018 #95

Cenk founded the group that organized the sit-in, Justice Democrats..... George II Nov 2018 #91

I am not impressed with Cenk and this group's website is really worthless Gothmog Nov 2018 #93
