AOC, Omar and Tlaib voting against this bill is ...........frustrating. Feels like a "I'm going to fight just to fight" situation.

Anytime you're on the same side as MTG is not a good look. To single out AOC, because she's the most high profile of the three, I fear she's going to get caught in a constant fight with everyone and not have the ability to get anything accomplished. Which, again, is frustrating because she's sitting on an import platform.

I also think she runs the risk of getting primaried for her own seat.

Obviously it all depends on who will run against her.
She absolutely crushed in her last primary (74.4% of the vote - next closest person had 18.1%).
She beat the Republican and won by over 40% of the vote in the general election.

I don't accept the premise that "The country is more to the right than you think", and it's due to democrats who are too progressive, as explanations for why the child poverty rate increased from an all-time low of 5.2% in '21, to 12.4% in 2022. I blame Joe Manchin.

Democrats are the best thing that ever happened to Republicans.
lotta truth

fuck manchin and cinnamon
No, that's my point, it's not Mancini and Synema, there are 50 other Senators with them. The country is more to the right than you think. Compromise, or get nothing and let the Republican crazies take over. It seems the Progressive caucus prefers the latter.
