cyclone Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Was she really pretending to be handcuffed? Omg i remember when she used to seem promising as a newcomer but I saw she was doing twitch streams with internet influencers and taking staged crying photos, I don't understand her obsession with theater and clout these days.

She and the other progressives could have used their leverage in pushing their agenda but chose to be passive instead. I like AOC but it's a lot of talking and less action.

You're being so extra Obviously the cop told her to put her hands behind her back cause she was under arrest, so she naturally put them back there. If she was "pretending to be handcuffed" she wouldn't have raised her fist in the air This is literally a talking point for Republicans right now and it's, no offense, asinine to focus on something as frivolous as that.

What more action do you expect? As a congresswoman — which is her job — she already helped pass the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2022 literally four days ago. Do you think that AOC has the power to get Schumer to force a Senate vote? And then the power to make Sinema and Machin vote yes on it? Not happening! It's well-documented how even other Dems don't want to work with AOC because they see her as too progressive. And yet people expect her to move heaven and earth with her VERY limited power as 1 of 435 members of the House. She is writing legislation, doing amazing local work for her community, running her personal social media as a way to educate people about progressive causes, and people still want to **** on her constantly for "not doing enough." It's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that woman's ability to follow directions have to do with this? AND she put them back there seconds later, probably when she was directed to: Where either them has their hands is not a real issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a progressive who was inspired by Bernie Sanders vision, I’m supremely disappointed in the Squad’s inaction. I knew they weren't leaders when they didn’t Force The Vote over Medicare 4 All. They had that old h*g Pelosi by the neck and then they just let the moment slip. Jimmy Dore was right about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous. They could have withheld their votes in order to put forth their agenda, but didn't to appease the moderate Dems and surprise surprise they got nothing out of it. They don't know how to play politics. For example withholding their votes for Nancy Pelosi in order to force her to bring M4A to a House vote. Instead they did none of that and just voted for her anyway without getting any of their agenda moved forward. It's not just AOC that's disappointing it's the entire progressive caucus that are ineffective. They just talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post your evidence of her being "a shill for Israel"? There's a difference between making Palestine the main focus of her work (as if she's not trying to put out a million fires a day since her election) and being "a shill for Israel." Maybe do some research and try to approach topics with nuance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distantconstellation Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 A lot of you obviously have never been arrested. They tell u to put your hands back. If there werent a **** ton of people there and she wasnt AOC they would have put her arm down and probably tackled her. No its not an over exageration, speaking as someone who had been in trouble with the law countless times since i was a juvenile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
