We about to see if she for real or for fake. Will she force Nancy Pelosi to do a floor vote for medicare for all? It's really that simple. When she ran for office, she said she would. Time to put up or shut up. Anyone can tweet. Trump tweeted for 4 years and ain't do shit.
Yo, so why did she campaign on it? And what DEMOCRAT is against medicare for all? They all should be exposed on record so they can be ousted next election. Period.That is so dumb. Forcing a vote that can't win accomplishes nothing.
Man lolPretty sure she doesn’t fuck with us
Can you imagine if other progressive milienials realize this could be them?

interesting take on messagingThat is so dumb. Forcing a vote that can't win accomplishes nothing.
She knows how to put on a show though. It's like Trump 2.0. Use twitter and people think you are doing something. But when it comes down to it, she folds just like Bernie did.This bitch is Bernie 2.0
I’m good.
interesting take on messaging
This is quite a game, politics. There are no permanent enemies, and no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced appointments to several powerful committees on Thursday, most notably the selection of Rep. Kathleen Rice over fellow New Yorker Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
The New York lawmakers had been jockeying for a seat on the panel, according to several media reports, and lobbying to colleagues behind the scenes for weeks, Politico reported.
The committee oversees a broad range of issues, including consumer protection, food and drug safety, public health, health care policy and climate issues.
Politico reported that there was a contentious private meeting on Thursday at the Steering and Policy Committee, where there was a secret ballot to vote on the two candidates. The news outlet said the vote was 46-13.

Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and a rising star in the party, has been outspoken on many of the issues the committee would tackle. She is currently a member of the powerful House Committee on Oversight and Reform. She also co-chaired a panel advising President-elect Joe Biden on climate policy during his campaign.
Rice is a more moderate member of the party, a former district attorney who represents parts of Long Island. She currently serves on the House Committee on Homeland Security. Rice's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Pelosi praised the appointments in a statement.
"House Democrats are united in our mission to Build Back Better, and with these strong voices at the table, we will deliver on that sacred promise to make a real difference for all Americans," she said.

Good point. Rename it and give it a floor vote. Too much like right though. Ain't no real progressives. Just a bunch of twitter warriors who attack low-hanging fruit.
Damn they hate on her.
more posts from the white supremacist rag thehill. Can we ban posts from thereI agree with a lot of her positions but she talks real greasy about the leadership and then seems shocked that none of them fuck with her:
Ocasio-Cortez: I’m ‘not ready’ to be Speaker but Pelosi and Schumer need to go
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said she is “not ready” to be Speaker but lamented that the Democratic Party desperately needs new leadership and that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen…thehill.com
She has the power to chin check Nancy. She could force a floor vote on medicare for all and mark all those who are against it so they can be forced out. AOC CAMPAIGNED saying how this needed to be done. Now she is here and will give Nancy her vote for speaker without demanding Nancy earn it.What's your issues with her fam?
I think you overestimate her influence dude. All that will happen is a schism in the party that the GOP will exploit at BEST. At worst for her..she may overplay her hand and find out how influential she's NOT and make serious enemies within the party who will exclude her and seek to oust her at every opportunity.She has the power to chin check Nancy.

Much like Donald, she knows how to tweet and use the news against her(FOX) to make her seem like she's doing a lot more than she actually is doing.
Another issue, much like Sanders bitch ass, she was nowhere to be found when Nancy was purposefully tanking the economy during stimulus negotiations because she thought that was the way to beat Trump. NOW AOC wants to stand up for people and direct payments. Where was she when they were offered before the election and Nancy denied them?
AOC seems to be following the path of Sanders. Talks a good game, but falls in line when shit gets real. She can change that with the floor vote. In fact, the way the House is now she can basically run shit if she is for real. Her social media game combined with the current house numbers would crush Nancy. Nancy would literally lose her shit in every interview.

Agreed. You can’t insult your senior leaders and then expect their backing. Her and the rest of the squad have passion but their approach is off. They also have a tendency to alienate their opposition. Granted, this is a problem with both sides of the aisle as neither one seems to remember that compromise is the key to real progression but I think that AOC does it in spades. Her tech savvy behavior is great and appealing to young voters however, she also stays in a Twitter beef. This ain’t high school. Even trump supporters hated when he did it. It’s off putting and childish. In short, she needs to learn to play the game better. Why would u not cozy up to the leader (pelosi) and learn all you can while preparing to take her place? Would seem like the smarter play. But I think she enjoys the attention. Which is understandable. Her journey happened overnight so she’s still getting accustomed to it allI agree with a lot of her positions but she talks real greasy about the leadership and then seems shocked that none of them fuck with her:

I think she needs 5 or so. There are enough so-called progressives to ride with her. It's all up to her to get on twitter and make it a thing.I don't think she can force a floor vote by herself. I think she would need a lot of reps to back the move.

If your gonna take a shot at the king/queen...you best not miss.
On my watch that would never happen. I’m falling on the sword for AOC.The cops just let the secessionists in, If they had caught AOC she would probably be pregnant right now.
No screen capture...?AOC IS LIVE NOW..yo those tiddies tho!!
