Alexandra Rojas, Justice Democrats Knocking Biden's Speech

[oasis]

She's on a CNN panel. Rojas departs from her rant about Joe not elaborating on climate change and starts up with ancient history about Anita Hill and NAFTA out of the blue.

When Joes becomes our nominee, she'd better get on board, but quick.

[msongs]

1. she can go join our revolution with what's their names nt

[oasis]

4. Rojas said it was a failure of both Republicans and Democrats

that got us Trump.

[NYMinute]

8. They are gearing up to support third party again .. scary

What is scarier is to see people supporting them HERE.

[oasis]

17. I believe "true Democrats" will solidify behind Biden early. Green

Party and fringe progressives will spout off their usual rhetoric in order to get funding for their "leadership".

When the voting begins, they will realize that nothing matters more than taking Trump out.

[NurseJackie]

21. You're much more optimistic than I am.

When the voting begins, they will realize that nothing matters more than taking Trump out.

You're much more optimistic than I am.

[NYMinute]

31. Their next meme will be "Trump and Biden are the same"

and then Sarandonesque people including David Sirota, Nina Turner, Brihana Joy Gray etc. will be on that bandwagon.

Their anger at not winning makes them want everyone else to lose as well.

[oasis]

34. They can't play that card this time around. They'll look

silly as hell. Especially when they bear partial blame for Trump being in the White House.

[NYMinute]

54. If looking silly was ever an issue to them

Hillary would be POTUS today and running for reelection.

Neither they, nor their patron saint care about appearing silly and/or vindictive.

[Hortensis]

35. The Rojas types will abandon the Democrats

and vote Republican or some other thing, as they already promise, same as 2016. That’s a given. They’re not ours to lose.

The latest elections are different from other eras only in that times are so bad and election margins so narrow that they’re capable of throwing elections to the Republicans. Without that they wouldn’t be noticed.

In the midterms, though, they were overwhelmed by Democratic turnout, and things are lining up to have that happen all over again in 2020. And who knows, perhaps it might finally be the beginning of another 30 years. Stability and prosperity mean bad times for angry zealots.

[oasis]

38. "Angry zealots"

that's them alright.

[Hortensis]

39. :) They famously loathed FDR and the

New Dealers. Between this era’s LW extremists and the really dangerous threats of fascist takeover from the right, what I’ve read about the 1930s is coming alive like never before. Just wish I could skip to the end of this book we’re living through.

[oasis]

41. Joe represents a return to sanity. nt

[Hortensis]

47. Yes. :). And some others, but most of all

the midterms suggest that more people are understanding we need to return our nation to sanity.

Noting that “the greatest generation” didn’t become the greatest until they and others who were there before helped create the dreadful emergencies they were forced to dig us out of. Or else.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. For sure, no question. I no longer have any faith at ALL in that group you speak of

that cant be spoken of.

Their job they have been tasked with by their boss is to make CERTAIN if a certain someone isnt prez, NO democrat is.

[Blue_true]

60. Some of the DU people supporting them now have made it clear that they will vote for

the Democratic Party nominee in November 2020. I take them at their word. I have not seen any that are strident to blow up the chances of defeating Trump.

[Hortensis]

62. Oh, of course! This isn't describing all current Sanders

supporters, for sure. I remember last time @90% polled at the NH and IA primaries said they were happy with Hillary as their second choice, and were; the IA pollster even put a word like "respect" or "admire" in a question and these agreed to it. And, of course, in the end 3/4 of all Sanders voters across the nation were regular Democrats who voted Democrat in the GE.

It's the others, the 24-25% of Sanders voters who refused to vote Democrat. 12% of those voted for Trump. Remember the "Dexit" movement to encourage people to leave the party? That's these folk.

So far at least one pollster measuring for them this year said around the same percentage are again saying it's Sanders or walk. (!) Terrible, but those aren't ours to lose.

Of course, we can always hope something finally causes some to say no to Trump and the growing threat of fascism in the only way that matters. Extreme cruelty to children as a specific federal policy didn't work, but maybe some action will push a more personal button.

[Xipe Totec]

2. If Joe becomes our nominee, he'll have my vote

Until then, we shall see.

[badhair77]

3. I turned to CNN to get away from Hugh Hewitt and

CNN has her, a former aide to W, a person from the Wash Examiner and Joe Lockhart.

I’m heading elsewhere.

[oasis]

9. Host Fredrika Whitfield throws the 90's Crime Bill into the mix

for good measure.

I guess CNN has mandate to create a horserace. Saving our democracy must take a back seat.

[badhair77]

29. Of course she did. Ugh.

Done with them for the day.

[quickesst]

5. CNN...

.... is in full Faux News mode today. Pretty disgusting.

[oasis]

12. CNN must create a horserace💵💵💵💵💵.

"Can't let Joe run away with this thing" say their corporate bosses.

[oasis]

13. Subtle hatchet job on Joe. nt

[quickesst]

16. Subtle or not....

.... it was misleading, and rather shameful.

[NYMinute]

6. They still think they can hillarify Biden

Won't work.

[still_one]

10. That is why I don't listen to thes over paid talking heads. People like Joe, and some have a

problem with that

[NYMinute]

11. Their patron saint has lost his halo .. so the anger at Joe nt

[still_one]

14. That is all they have is their anger

[George II]

7. What a clearly unhappy person.

[oasis]

15. Rojas was ready to push Justice Democrats talking points, regardless

of what Joe's message was about.

[Kahuna7]

23. Whaleed Shaheed was on MSNBC criticizing Biden BEFORE the event...

[Cha]

55. And, that's Exactly Why

the cable suits have these blowhards on. Fuck that noise

[Kahuna7]

58. He had the nerve to mention the 1994 crime bill that bernie voted for...

Guh...These people.

[Cha]

59. They can wallow and

fester in the last century while Biden is looking forward to ousting their stupid traitor out of our WH.

[quickesst]

22. remember Trump's surrogates?

Scottie Nell Hughes and Katrina Pierson? Rojas has the exact same look and the exact same demeanor. It's the look of someone who is continually suffering from butt-hurt, and can't wait to start lying to make it better.

[Cha]

56. Sounds like an apt description

although I haven't seen any of them.

[LongtimeAZDem]

18. With democrats like them, who needs republicans?

[oasis]

24. Their "status quo" argument fades every day Trump is in power.

It was a bullshit argument to begin with.

Justice Democrats want to replace our responsible Dem leadership because in their view, the Party isn't moving left fast enough.

[R B Garr]

63. "moving left fast enough". They fail to mention or acknowledge

that they don’t ever get the votes. They lost in 2016 and 2018. That ruins their “establishment” whining. Voters rejected them.

[highplainsdem]

19. MSNBC had Waleed Shahid on before the speech to attack Biden. Waste of air time.

[oasis]

25. Joe's getting the nomination. The Trump/JD combo can't stop him.nt

[Me.]

33. Did He Do His Usual

there is a war in the Dem party meme?

[Peacetrain]

20. There were a few of us here listening to the speech and Rojas managed

to solidify votes for Sen Warren and VP Biden with that negative performance . I just found out exactly who the justice democrats were last week, so I am still wrapping my head around who and what the group is..

[oasis]

27. As Justice Democrats continue to rip Joe, MSNBC and CNN should

be forced to ask when will certain Democrats in the House sever ties with that outfit.

[Peacetrain]

30. good point!

[Kurt V.]

28. why y'all watch that stuff?' lebron:more than athlete ' is on. lol

[Kurt V.]

37. obama was just on 👆. !

[Me.]

32. She & Waleed Shahid Are So Full Of It

he keeps declaring there is a war in the Dem party

[oasis]

36. It won't work this time. "True Blue" Democrats are solidly behind

defeating Trump. He is our enemy.

[VarryOn]

52. I still think some of the other campaigns will start slinging mud at Biden...

If they havent already done so through third parties like Justice Democrats.

I'm so ready for the debates! But, that's when it'll really start getting serious, and Biden will be the target. The middle of the ack candidates will especially need him knocked down a notch or two.

[emmaverybo]

42. Cnn had her; MSNBC had Shahid; neither display any thing so much as a will

to divide, to push the Justice Democrats’ agenda. I am very leery of the tactics I see this
organization uses: purity tests, vilification, factual misrepresentations, exaggeration about progressive power and strength in the party.

[Me.]

43. Let's Face It

They're no better than the Cons

[Me.]

50. Quite

[R B Garr]

64. Yes, just bad faith dealings. It only alienates Democrats, so

who is their real audience. Cenk is an “ex” Republican, hmm.

[dalton99a]

44. Cenk Uygur's useful idiots

[Me.]

46. +1000

[emmaverybo]

40. Daily Beast featured Adam Howard's Op-Ed today claiming Biden "railroaded Anita Hill". nt

[oasis]

45. Howard rolling out antiquated descriptions of antiquated events. nt

[emmaverybo]

49. Good one. And neglects to name those who did actively railroad her--the Republicans and Thomas

[Drunken Irishman]

51. Ah yes...because it's common for a candidate to elaborate on everything in an announcement speech...

lol

[EveHammond13]

53. I had to block @JusticeDems on twitter - it is almost 100% attacks on Dems

[Cha]

57. Imagine MFucking$M who helped bring

us the fucking Psycho in the WH.. had their anti-Democratic Front runner pinheads lined up

[LibFarmer]

61. MSM should not give so much importance

to fringe groups. They don't have much following and they exist only because media give them a soapbox.

With their shrill voices causing a spectacle, they get as much attention as shrill, psychotic person tearing their clothes off in public.
