https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-25/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-backs-biden-in-shift-towards-center She's figured out how to work with mainstream Dems and even some Republicans. This article is two years old but still good: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/07/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-is-just-a-regular-old-democrat-now.html?utm_medium=s1&utm_campaign=nym&utm_source=tw "Since taking office in January 2019, she has deferred to party leadership again and again on the issues that matter, even as she has made token gestures of resistance to solidify the illusion that she is a gadfly. And increasingly, she seems stung by criticism from the left to the point where she appears ready to simply embrace her party and its politics with open arms." Primaries wouldn't have mattered if ranked choice was in the full national election. Other candidates could have run. Of course, this assumes the rise of other political parties.

A good discussion point. The executive office should not have this much power to inflict economic harm without going through Congress.

Happy anniversary!

AOC’s political evolution towards the center has been masterful. She gets it. Keep an eye on her. Crockett is an irrelevant figure; she’s going nowhere. I do think ranked choice would have made a difference for Dems. Seems to me many independents were not happy with Harris and went to Trump. If they had other options, we might see a different result. Who knows, the GOP could have split and run a more moderate candidate too.

Wrongthink, just like this woman below

Pointing out that something sounds gay has no bearing on whether or not I think it’s a bad thing. Just amusing to hear from the party of ultra macho masculine Hulk Hogan Americana

“Just me and the boys spraying our seed everywhere”

“freedom seeds” is the gayest thing I’ve ever read, and if your masculinity boils down to playing dress-up and shooting targets on a range then your masculinity is more fragile than a porcelain doll

Trump has everything he could possibly want. If he still can’t kill the “deep state” then he’s more of an idiot than previously thought.

Id probably get banned from here if I said exactly what I think of MTG lol

That’s absolute horseshit. Your side is now abducting college students for posting op-eds critical of Trump and Israel. It’s exactly what Kim Jong Un would do. It’s disgusting, sadistic, and unamerican. Further, you need due process because you’re sending people to the gulag for having an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO. Abolish ICE and put every single one of these psychopaths in jail for the rest of their lives.

You mean like this?

Jobs that can be easily replaced by robots. When will MAGAs learn that the golden age of industrial labor is long over?

My god, the tears from your side are incredible. Go Jasmine!

The old guard needs to be jettisoned along with useless idiots like Talib. The Dems are basically where they were in the early 80s after Carter. We need ranked choice voting, but that’s a discussion for another time.

We can also discuss the 50+ civilian casualties from the strike on the building, but not at the moment. So he ordered a plane strike. Who cares? All presidents do that. Obama got Bin Laden. Hegseth coordinated it via an unsecured messaging app that he let a random journalist in. That’s the problem. Journalistically speaking, no, it’s not treason. If that’s the case, then publishing the Pentagon Papers would be considered treason.

The forest! Look for it over the trees!

Your first time dipping back in this thread and it’s for this? How sad. You guys got about a month out of the racist “Haitians eating dogs” nonsense, we can happily remind you of the gigantic security breach your guy brought on us.

What is your end goal? What are you “taking back?”

Funny how Hegseth being an alcoholic is just fine, but the MAGAs mercilessly went after Kamala for having a glass of wine once. Anyways,

Wow, even known MAGA idiot Dan McLaughlin is pissed at this!

Arguing based on semantics is a fantastic tell that’s you’ve completely lost

You are either willfully ignorant or not quite grasping the point. Hegseth should be fired immediately. I’m glad Democrats are holding his feet to the fire. Then he can go back to his favorite pastime of drinking himself into oblivion and getting awful tattoos.

How do you know their legal status without due process? Why are we replicating North Korea’s free speech policies?

Get ‘em, Tammy!
