We know how you feel about smart, ambitious girls.

*snicker*

Behind all that false, Smack bravado is a sniveling coward, terrified of a young, smart woman.

"Again, Anzalone hits the nail on the head. "My main gripe about AOC is that while I respect her voice in the party, I don't think she respects mine or anyone else's who differs with her on policy or comes from a different political electoral reality," he tweeted.

The Point: This ideological fight within the Democratic Party reflects the broader debate about what a post-Obama Democrat could and should look like. Is it Ocasio-Cortez? Is it Joe Biden? Is it somewhere in between?"

She can be the democrat she wants to be

Maybe she should . Right now she is crying that life and the Republicans are unfair because they are bringing her signature legislation the New Green Deal to a vote on the Senate floor . So unfair as to vote on her proposed legislation.

She'll become seasoned, I'M m sure. In the meantime time, the unseeming panic among the Republicans that is driving them to find some way ... any way to discredit the young woman tells us all that we need to know about what the Republicans have become in the 21st century and it ain't pretty.

Ocasio-Cortez blasts GOP's upcoming ‘bluff-vote’ on Green New Deal

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blasted congressional Republicans on Saturday for seeking a “bluff” vote on her proposed Green New Deal -- a move that other Democrats have also derided as a political stunt.
“The GOP’s whole game of wasting votes in Congress to target others ‘on the record’, for leg [legislation] they have no intent to pass, is a disgrace,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Stop wasting the American peoples’ time + learn to govern. Our jobs aren’t for campaigning, & that’s exactly what these bluff-votes are for.”
The freshman Democrat has touted the Green New Deal as an effort to rid the U.S. of greenhouse gas emissions while generating millions of high-paying jobs. Ocasio-Cortez has called climate change a "generational" issue, describing it as "our World War II" for younger people.
Republicans have mocked the ambitious plan as socialism and cite its price tag that could reach into the trillions of dollars.
It has almost no shot of passing in the Senate, where it would need 60 votes to advance. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has scheduled a procedural vote on the plan for Monday, when senators will return after a one-week recess.
“Leader McConnell thinks the Green New Deal is just a resolution, but the Green New Deal is a revolution,” said U.S. Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., one the plan’s lead authors. “The Green New Deal has struck a powerful chord in this country, and it is igniting the movement of young people who are ready to make this the organizing issue for their generation.”
The legislation exists as a nonbinding resolution, which would not require the government to do anything. Democrats have yet to deliver details on how to implement the plan or pay for it.
OCASIO-CORTEZ LOOKS FORWARD TO 'REAL VOTE' ON GREEN NEW DEAL AFTER MCCONNELL MANEUVER
By pushing for a vote, McConnell hopes to see how far Democrats are willing to go to align themselves with the party’s new progressive wing.
“Just a good old-fashioned, state-planned economy. Garden-variety 20th-century socialism,” McConnell said in a recent speech. “Our Democratic colleagues have taken all the debunked philosophies of the last hundred years, rolled them into one giant package, and thrown a little ‘green’ paint on them to make them look new.”
Some Democrats said they plan to vote “present” on the resolution to signal their opposition to what they call a “sham” vote that seeks to quash public debate by blocking public hearings or expert testimony about the consequences of climate change.
In addition to Republicans, several major labor unions also oppose the deal.
In response to her tweet, some on social media mocked Ocasio-Cortez for being upset that her proposed legislation will get a vote.
“Seems odd to introduce legislation with lots of fanfare if you don’t want it to receive a vote?,” one user wrote.
“This has to be the first time a sitting congressperson has ever advocated for NOT holding a vote on their own ideas,” another tweeted in response.
“Someone seems weirdly upset that the Senate will be voting on their plan," another wrote.
“If planet is in a crisis and this serious proposal (totally not a stunt!) is the only plan to save it, you would think @AOC wd be: 1) thanking McConnell for scheduling a vote & 2) working to get votes to pass it. In fact, shouldn’t she be mad at Pelosi for not doing the same?,” one user tweeted.

How dare the GOP use her political stunt against her. Lol

They are just dismantling a weapon that is intended to be used for 2020, by driving a wedge between the moderates and the extreme to be used by the GOP in 2020 themselves.

The Republicans are "dismantling a weapon"? Nobody likes a bully. The Republicans are conjuring one up out of thin air for nothing more than knee-jsrk hate of minorities.

Are you sure that there is nothing racist about a young Puerto Rican Woman gaining political attention? Trump made his contempt for Puerto Rico pretty clear and a good part of his following follows.

 

[Twin_Moose]

Do you think it would've made a difference who it would have been that makes ridiculous claims and statements that she makes? Dumb is dumb no matter what the skin pigmentation is, we'll see how popular her opinion is on Wednesday when the vote is counted.

I think that a junior Congress*person" like that would have been ignored and marginalized had they not been of a race that Trump publically despises and a gender for which his contempt is well known. She represents everything that Trump hates and the Republicans around him curry his favour.

Seriously? She called the Republicans "cynical" because they want to vote on legislation they know won't pass. What they want is a record of Democrats who support it. Now, if the Republicans are a bunch of "cynics" for wanting to vote on this, what do you call the f*cking idiot who introduced it in the first place?
