Donnie Duetsch and R lady strategist and Mika and Joe ripping OAC to shreds....

[jodymarie aimee]

I am working so it is on in background...off it goes...it is disgusting....

[shanny]

1. Shows how out of touch they are nt

[littlemissmartypants]

2. Completely absurd. nt

[SKKY]

3. And the funny part about all of this is....

...she had NOTHING to do with Amazon leaving. NOTHING.

[brooklynite]

5. The she should have said that, instead of joining in the cheering when they pulled out.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

11. So she can't just say something is a good thing

without saying that she didn't make the thing happen? Do you hold all politicians to that standard?

And do you think Amazon pulling out was bad? Because fuck that anti-union company.

[brooklynite]

13. AOC has chosen to take a strong advocacy position on social and economic issues...

She'll be pointed to by Republicans as a causal reason, regardless of her role.

As to my feelings about their departure: most New Yorkers, including most people in Queens supported the deal. This will be framed as "out of touch" Democrats in safe Blue districts throwing away jobs that Americans need. Doesn't help out upcoming Presidential campaign in the rustbelt States.

[Apollyonus]

14. +1000 very well put nt

[Cuthbert Allgood]

22. So Dems should just abandon what is on their platform for...reasons?

Manchin can vote to restrict abortion because he lives in a kind of red state.
AOC should not talk about being pro-worker because people think Amazon will be a good employer.

Why even have a platform?

[watoos]

4. AOC will be constantly attacked by the right,

because she has a rare ability that few on the left have, the ability to change the right wing narrative.

Al Franken had that ability, Speaker Pelosi has that ability.

The power of the right wing corporate controlled M$M is always overlooked, it's why Democrats always fight an uphill battle. When Democrats start agreeing with Republicans that AOC is a liability it will be a sad day for the Democratic party. We need to have her back.

[dubyadiprecession]

6. That chronic pendulum swing worries us all.

Some of us who have lived through these power shifts, don’t want our party to move too far to the left. If we don’t play our cards right, we could lose the house again.

[democratisphere]

7. So true. Too far to the left can actually empower too far to the right.

[Snotcicles]

8. How do we know it has never happened before.

That's a conservative myth because they fear the country will never swing back oligarchical.

[Stellar]

9. Help me understand..

What is meant by 'too far left'.
This old girl only 'knows right or wrong'.
Micheal Moore says we should stop being center and to choose a side.

[Apollyonus]

15. Exactly this n/t

[kentuck]

10. Do they know that AOC was the reason Bezos decided not to put HQs in the Queens?

Have they talked to Jeff Bezos, as any good journalist might do?

Perhaps he could build a new sports stadium in the Queens and get the taxpayers to pay for that, also?

[OnDoutside]

23. The bit of it I saw, they showed her saying that NY have saved 3 or 4 billion, which they can invest

in teachers, infrastructure etc. That led them to ripping into her, because that 3 or 4bn were tax breaks, not actual money given by NY. It was a lack of understanding by AOC.

[spanone]

12. They really don't like her. Makes me like her more.

[Apollyonus]

17. ummmmm

Just saying....

That is exactly what a Trump supporter said to me about Trump: "He may be a buffoon and a criminal but he makes libs cry"

I don't think an elected official's tweets and extreme positions are more important than the actions they take to help people. At the end of the day, in my opinion, it is about how many people you helped and not about how many people you infuriated.

[spanone]

18. ummmmm

[a kennedy]

20. She sure can rile them up can't she??

and don't turn to faux noise, she's all the rage there too. Love it.

[spanone]

21. they are trying to blame this all on her.....bullshit

[maxrandb]

19. MSNBC got their marching orders from Amazon
