Calling that post passive aggressive is a bit insulting. George II Aug 2020 #73

Mahalo, lapucelle.. I've seen more than a few posts Cha Aug 2020 #6

I think a bigger presence of AOC would have been positive for us Dems looking for a Progressive walkingman Aug 2020 #8

No time for that apparently with all the Republicans to feature lol nt liskddksil Aug 2020 #31

yes Skittles Aug 2020 #50

Three of those republicans you talk about kept their remarks UNDER a minute. This convention.... George II Aug 2020 #54

I truly hope you are right - but given their past performance (2016) I will wait and see. The walkingman Aug 2020 #77

She is a first term congress-person and there is a Hispanic presence. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #69

I was having to multi-task when it started tonight, but I thought AOC had a minute ALSO during the hlthe2b Aug 2020 #10

That was the "New Kind of Keynote" keynote address lapucelle Aug 2020 #12

AOC should have been clear to her followers that the members arthritisR_US Aug 2020 #14

Exactly. Her tweet omitted the fact that she was R B Garr Aug 2020 #15

She NEVER said it was a slight Cuthbert Allgood Aug 2020 #20

Get real, she deliberately mislead that she was nominating arthritisR_US Aug 2020 #41

Here's her tweet Cuthbert Allgood Aug 2020 #56

She didn't write that poem. N/T lapucelle Aug 2020 #62

Meant to type she wrote a poem in her tweet Cuthbert Allgood Aug 2020 #65

Does anyone know who started this "just one minute" thing as if everybody else nominating betsuni Aug 2020 #16

Didn't it come from her own tweet? Some limerick R B Garr Aug 2020 #17

Post removed Post removed Aug 2020 #22

She wrote poetry about the occassion. Cuthbert Allgood Aug 2020 #57

The "childishness" was the implication that she was being treated unfairly, without mentioning still_one Aug 2020 #61

She didn't write that poem. She says so right in the tweet.N/T lapucelle Aug 2020 #63

Not sure if a Businessinsider article started it, but if it did, she should've cleared it up betsuni Aug 2020 #23

Nomination haiku---love it! R B Garr Aug 2020 #24

Oh, yes, I just Googled and see your reference R B Garr Aug 2020 #25

No Trumpocalypse Aug 2020 #52

It's funny, isn't it? The tweet with the poem gets posted over and over again. Mariana Aug 2020 #90

Not pretending Trumpocalypse Aug 2020 #91

Not even close to a limerick. Cuthbert Allgood Aug 2020 #58

Of course the "media" did.. like they don't Cha Aug 2020 #19

I watched some PBS coverage of the convention and it was so negative. betsuni Aug 2020 #27

Gawd.. I couldn't stand that! WTH They sound Cha Aug 2020 #29

MSNBC gave probably the best coverage of it in my opinion. still_one Aug 2020 #35

It came from AOC's tweet. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #70

It was a response to Tina Sfondeles's tweet. Mariana Aug 2020 #83

The OP is right. When someone is asked to second a nomination, that person is not there still_one Aug 2020 #21

Divisive posts like this do nothing to help us win in November nt liskddksil Aug 2020 #28

Why? Is someone not voting for Biden bc of this Cha Aug 2020 #30

I would argue that the divisiveness was initiated by the person who neglected to inform people still_one Aug 2020 #34

Ikr.. This didn't need to be a thing. Cha Aug 2020 #36

No it didn't, and it started this tweet back on August 12 still_one Aug 2020 #40

Exactly. Mariana Aug 2020 #84

Exactly, nominating announcers only ever get one minute as arthritisR_US Aug 2020 #43

and she did just fine during the nominating process tonight. This is such a petty issue still_one Aug 2020 #45

Who made it an issue that she only got 60 seconds? She could arthritisR_US Aug 2020 #47

I agree, and it should have never been an issue. The argument some are using is about the still_one Aug 2020 #49

Post removed Post removed Aug 2020 #51

Exactly! She was playing this totally. arthritisR_US Aug 2020 #48

Neither is someone tweeting, with a clear implication how "unfair" it was to be given such a short still_one Aug 2020 #32

I stand with her comments liskddksil Aug 2020 #33

Does this tweet have something to do with the News media misrepresenting something? still_one Aug 2020 #37

The role AOC was given was to be part of the Bernie Sanders nomination process. I'm sure if she was liskddksil Aug 2020 #38

It was simply to second the nomination of Bernie Sanders. Whether it was for Biden or Sanders, still_one Aug 2020 #39

You put "unfair" in quotes, implying that AOC actually said that. Did she? nt. Mariana Aug 2020 #86

There is nothing divisive about clearing up confusion. lapucelle Aug 2020 #66

Nor do they hurt our chances. It is in fact, wholly benign... at its worst. LanternWaste Aug 2020 #87

She never made an issue about it Trumpocalypse Aug 2020 #53

She should really have been one of the keynotes fescuerescue Aug 2020 #60

That is a different issue. I don't know how much she lobbied for herself to be given a still_one Aug 2020 #64

Thanks! Rhiannon12866 Aug 2020 #42

I'm not her biggest fan but I can't believe she's taking grief for this Awsi Dooger Aug 2020 #44

AOC should've been given more time to give a general speech. radius777 Aug 2020 #46

She should have been given a full time slot. fescuerescue Aug 2020 #59

Then she should have been more direct about it. Yang did, and he got a spot. As for your still_one Aug 2020 #67

Historically going the Senator route is a bad route to the Presidency fescuerescue Aug 2020 #71

Then Governor. What I am saying is that to determine if she has traction is to win a statewide still_one Aug 2020 #72

I can't recall where a House member became president. Perhaps such a thing has Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #75

That's a good point actually fescuerescue Aug 2020 #76

No she shouldn't have been given more time. First of all she is a first term Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #74

No, she shouldn't have StarfishSaver Aug 2020 #82

Her seconding speech was almost twice as long as that of Biden's nominating speaker. Go figure. George II Aug 2020 #78

Jacquelyn Brittany's was the best nominating speech! Cha Aug 2020 #81

I loved that. Did you see the original encounter in that elevator several months ago? It was.... George II Aug 2020 #85

I did see it awhile ago & had a feeling of Cha Aug 2020 #88

O-o-oh-h-h-h! Well that certainly does explain things. It's all clear now. NurseJackie Aug 2020 #89
