That abysmal performance likely has something to do with her actually standing for something while most politicians tend to stand for as little as possible.Quote:

I don't care if a congressperson passes tons of legislation that does nothing. I also don't care that she didn't support bi-partisanship, thats part of her appeal. I prefer the way she thinks to the countless old gouls leftover from a past era that still occupy the democratic party.
Her appeal is not accomplishing anything? If that's appealing, then I fear for the future of the party. I want to actually accomplish something. I want to pass policy and shape the future of the country for the better.Quote:

Sounds like someone that should be working on television discussing politics rather than someone in politics.Quote:

Would love to know what all the things she voted in accordance with him were.Quote:

I think that whole spiel about other putting more work is kind of BS.
I'll let you in on a little secret………I doubt very much if all that many dems like her ideas either. They won't openly criticize her because she is in the party (although she is seemingly free to do this), but I don't see her having all that much support.Quote:

They don't need to be lectured by some "woke" (whatever that means) young woman that criticizes their lack of digital experience while they have massive amounts of actual experience in congress and in life in general. They deal with AOC because they have to……she was legitimately elected and has a seat at the table. That doesn't mean that they have to take her seriously…and, for the most part, they don't. Same with the rest of the squad. Most congressionals probably can't stand them.
Her appeal is standing for something. When you get a seat jump in line behind all the conservative bills you can pass. You will tons done, congrats.Quote:

Her appeal is working on people that have done little and accomplished even less. Her huggy/feely ideas appeal to others like herself that have a serious lack of understanding as to how the world works.Quote:

Then the student runs into the reality of the school admin that has the experience to deal with real issues in real time and nothing that was promised is ever instituted.
Here's a little clue for you all……any time a candidate starts clamoring "for the people" and fighting "for the forgotten underprivileged class" and doesn't want to "forget the little guy" talks about "voices being heard" ……… these politicians never get anything done.
I think that's because those people arent represented. As I said before, if you want to pass bills that benefit Mcconnell and Biden you wont have any issues at all.Quote:
