the future belongs to Dems like her who fight for the real base of the Dem party. It's not about leftist vs centrist, but about who will fight when it counts. Remember there are many centrist Dems not standing in the way like Manchin/Sinema do. You rarely hear about Tester or Hickenlooper or many others. It's just these two FoxNews Dems who want attention ... please me please me please me .. and think they are more powerful than the president we the people elected with 81 million votes Joe Biden.

Varying forms of this argument wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #30

THIS! It's happening here on DU as we speak! LowerManhattanite Dec 2021 #43

It's always the Same People berni_mccoy Dec 2021 #34

Didn't she vote against BIF? George II Dec 2021 #35

Yeah but it passed Polybius Dec 2021 #38

You don't think she would have voted against it, but you don't know either, right? George II Dec 2021 #69

Correct Polybius Dec 2021 #70

This argument is about as meaningless wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #55

Schumer's vote is entirely different than that vote in the House. Simple lesson on Senate procedure: George II Dec 2021 #57

If you need to write all that to explain your side wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #58

I'm not "explaining my side", I'm explaining how the Senate works. You said Schumer voted against... George II Dec 2021 #59

This is explaining distinctions without differences wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #60

No I'm not. Two entirely different chambers and two entirely different types/purposes of votes. George II Dec 2021 #61

And in the end, both parties voted against the things they support wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #62

Really? Tell me now, when did the Senate vote on BBB? I've been so busy I guess I missed that one. George II Dec 2021 #63

Don't you mean BIF? wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #64

No. You said "And in the end, both parties voted against the things they support".... George II Dec 2021 #65

We... were talking about how the Squad voted against BIF wellst0nev0ter Dec 2021 #66

That was part, but not all. George II Dec 2021 #67

Does AOC think not passing anything is better than passing 1.75T infrastructure bill AlexSFCA Dec 2021 #39

Apparently she's not the only one who thinks that. Its almost always a losing proposition. oldsoftie Dec 2021 #49

Well....it apparently it is actually all about the Benjamin's for Joe Manchin ashredux Dec 2021 #44
