And attacks on the party are not helpful to accomplishing that goal as far as I'm concerned.

Then ask any special questions.

We all have congressmen and local politicians. We ALL should be acquainted with their records and what they stand for. Btw, there are a whole lot of good people worth supporting among them, and for those who don't know that, why not? It's inexcusable with so much truthful information available in our hands to believe those who state or just imply that Democrats are corrupt like Republicans.

I would suggest Ocasio-Cortez's constituents examine her record -- she has one now, albeit of remarkably little achievement -- and ask her how her extensive activities outside congress serve them.

Wouldn’t it work better if at least one of us seemed fired up to pass the law to achieve X policy? Instead of all of saying we don’t have the votes? Just asking.
