In 2008, Hillary Clinton's name was put up Mariana Aug 2020 #51

But she suspended and asked for unanimous consent. So that is not really true. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #57

AOC haters are out in full force here liskddksil Aug 2020 #50

Typical. OrwellwasRight Aug 2020 #78

I thought they might give it a rest for a while Mariana Aug 2020 #134

It was perfect. Didn't give the repubs anything to use against us, and did the job required. unitedwethrive Aug 2020 #48

There was nothing in her speech even remotely resembling "word salad." jcgoldie Aug 2020 #59

They are intent on trashing her for anything liskddksil Aug 2020 #65

Smart and Classy. jalan48 Aug 2020 #62

1 minute 41 seconds... myohmy2 Aug 2020 #63

You mean almost two minutes? George II Aug 2020 #64

Yeah. Makes you wonder why she didn't just tweet R B Garr Aug 2020 #72

She never implied that. Cuthbert Allgood Aug 2020 #76

Ah, I was recalling a thread here about her tweet that R B Garr Aug 2020 #80

She had a lot of ground to cover fescuerescue Aug 2020 #70

Her role was literally to second the Sanders endorsement. OrwellwasRight Aug 2020 #79

Ok Sorry I just have a bad taste about her because she introduced a Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2020 #81

You know that whether bills move is up to OrwellwasRight Aug 2020 #82

No worries, I am. This is such a cruel thing trump has Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2020 #88

It's truly amazing how far some people will reach Mariana Aug 2020 #106

It didn't seem that bad to me? kentuck Aug 2020 #74

She nominated Sanders, it is a formality burrowowl Aug 2020 #84

ABC Nightline described AOC's set with the flags where she spoke as "real establishment." betsuni Aug 2020 #87

I disagree. nt jcmaine72 Aug 2020 #89

Have you ever liked anything she has said or done? Voltaire2 Aug 2020 #92

All the time jpak Aug 2020 #94

do you have an example of you praising AOC? Voltaire2 Aug 2020 #97

I've been a DU member since 2002 and do not answer to you jpak Aug 2020 #98

so that would be "nope". Voltaire2 Aug 2020 #99

Here ya go jpak Aug 2020 #101

So the best example you can come up with is: Voltaire2 Aug 2020 #102

This message was self-deleted by its author jpak Aug 2020 #104

Lol! demmiblue Aug 2020 #117

the other message not so funny and quite clear Voltaire2 Aug 2020 #119

She used it quite well. I'm sure hers was better than any Republicans. Autumn Aug 2020 #95

Didn't the Republicans actually endorse Joe Biden, R B Garr Aug 2020 #100

It was the second nomination speech for Sanders. Voltaire2 Aug 2020 #103

Exactly. She was endorsing Bernie, so there was no need R B Garr Aug 2020 #108

Yes they did. And so did AOC. Maybe you should actually find that out before complaining she didn't. Autumn Aug 2020 #105

I thought this was about her minute and how she spent it R B Garr Aug 2020 #107

She was selected by Sanders to do the second nomination Voltaire2 Aug 2020 #109

This is just another distraction, and I don't agree with R B Garr Aug 2020 #111

lulzd Voltaire2 Aug 2020 #120

Talking about other people is also a distraction, lulz. R B Garr Aug 2020 #123

Your objection is with the standard convention process. Voltaire2 Aug 2020 #139

Wrong again -- but yet another distraction. R B Garr Aug 2020 #140

It was. And YOU brought up the lie that AOC didn't endorse Biden, I pointed out she did. Autumn Aug 2020 #112

In her 1-minute TV speech, she spent it endorsing Bernie. R B Garr Aug 2020 #113

That's what she was there for. To talk about Bernie and second his nomination. nt Autumn Aug 2020 #114

Exactly. So clearing that up via tweets earlier on R B Garr Aug 2020 #115

Many of us were not confused. You don't have to be on Twitter to read tweets. nt Autumn Aug 2020 #116

The comments in the tweets indicate otherwise about R B Garr Aug 2020 #118

The bottom line is, she did endorse Bernie and she endorsed Biden. NBC did a dirty Autumn Aug 2020 #130

The comments in the tweet thread don't support thus, though. R B Garr Aug 2020 #132

Then you aren't reading her comments and NBC's shitty explanation. Autumn Aug 2020 #137

I must have missed her tweet where she said she was R B Garr Aug 2020 #138

She was so eloquent when she challenged Representative Yoho. . . . BigDemVoter Aug 2020 #110
