She cast the vote BGBD Nov 2021 #1
I don't have a problem with their vote SCantiGOP Nov 2021 #2
The NY Times had the details in a story on exactly what Tomconroy Nov 2021 #3
+1. Think that is true in a lot of votes. You really have to be aware of situation. Hoyt Nov 2021 #5
That doesn't help their case in my book. It instead demonstrates their opposition to BIF was cynical tritsofme Nov 2021 #12
+1 betsuni Nov 2021 #13
I have an issue with her vote...but I have a bigger issue with her putting it out there that Biden Demsrule86 Nov 2021 #15
Yes, that jumped out at me PatSeg Nov 2021 #59
Thank You.. that's the point.. not Cha Nov 2021 #74
I agree Bettie Nov 2021 #42
Way back when if you voted against the New Deal... lame54 Nov 2021 #72
The Squad thought they had Manchin/Sinema type leverage. Sneederbunk Nov 2021 #4
they all like to call attention to themselves Skittles Nov 2021 #6
Yes. They don't understand that they didn't have the votes. Tomconroy Nov 2021 #18
They absolutely did understand exactly that jcgoldie Nov 2021 #34
Then why did they waste everyone's time for three months if Tomconroy Nov 2021 #36
Good question PatSeg Nov 2021 #61
The "squad" sure fizzled out leftstreet Nov 2021 #7
Ouch! PatSeg Nov 2021 #64
There is an image floating around that I can't reproduce. It's Tomconroy Nov 2021 #71
Whoa! PatSeg Nov 2021 #80
Good for AOC and the Squad. I support them and what they are fighting for. CentralMass Nov 2021 #8
I do not support their actions. AOC called the president a liar about the lead aspect of the bill. Demsrule86 Nov 2021 #51
ok, reality sets in, AOC needs to understand, "small steps" Shellback Squid Nov 2021 #9

They just legitimized voting against any or all of the Biden Agenda tirebiter Nov 2021 #10
lol, no they didn't, they didn't block anything, it was symbolic protest vote, which happens all the Celerity Nov 2021 #11
I am so tired of these contrived symbolic votes, Sanders being a great fan of. LizBeth Nov 2021 #24
When you have a go at all the other Senators and House reps and not just your personal targets, Celerity Nov 2021 #27
Right back at you on the selective support. LizBeth Nov 2021 #28
no, it is just that a certain group here goes after (and has since I joined in summer 2018) Celerity Nov 2021 #31
Manchin and Sinema have voted for all of Biden's legislation without exception and will IMHO Demsrule86 Nov 2021 #44
that is spin and false framing in regards to actual real impacts and you know it Celerity Nov 2021 #57
Sinema and Manchin are trashed on this site on a daily basis iemanja Nov 2021 #50
Nobody talked much about them until they started to be the chief obstructionist disrupters Celerity Nov 2021 #58
Of course iemanja Nov 2021 #62
Exactly. And they've also put ideas into others heads that Nixie Nov 2021 #16

But it's fine to promise Medicare for All, Green New Deal somehow solving climate change, betsuni Nov 2021 #17
Cori Bush got an email from me following this no vote Sherman A1 Nov 2021 #19
Progressives have done more to support Biden's agenda than those "other two" luv2fly Nov 2021 #20
How so? For the first time they were given the opportunity to vote on an actual infrastructure Scrivener7 Nov 2021 #21
None of us know what was going on behind the scenes luv2fly Nov 2021 #63
Except they didn't champion it when it came time to vote for it. Scrivener7 Nov 2021 #79
That is not true. Both Manchin and Sinema have voted for all legisation. Now we shall see what Demsrule86 Nov 2021 #45
They piss and moan and stomp their feet luv2fly Nov 2021 #66
I am sick and tired of performative politics. That is not what they are there for Walleye Nov 2021 #22
+1 LizBeth Nov 2021 #25
Same here PatSeg Nov 2021 #67
Good idea Walleye Nov 2021 #78
Same. The grandstanding and gaslighting needs to stop. nt Kahuna Nov 2021 #77
When it comes time to allocate this money Johonny Nov 2021 #23
I saw her cherry-picking defense, good sign that backlash is hurting. Hortensis Nov 2021 #26
They voted no ripcord Nov 2021 #29
That is it... Demsrule86 Nov 2021 #46
That sums it up well PatSeg Nov 2021 #68
Yep. It reminds me of how the Dems undermined Carter. nt Kahuna Nov 2021 #81
Was there anything in the bill targeting climate change? jalan48 Nov 2021 #30
Yes, tons: grid improvements, ev charging stations, r&d, and more mathematic Nov 2021 #35
Thanks! jalan48 Nov 2021 #37
In some ways, improving the grid might be the most impactful thing to do karynnj Nov 2021 #41
The Right is Going to Run Wild With This bikernks Nov 2021 #32
they voted their conscience after the bill was assured of passing. jcgoldie Nov 2021 #33
Their "conscience" sucks. mathematic Nov 2021 #38
My Sentiments, Exactly ProfessorGAC Nov 2021 #70
Given one spokesperson saaid they would have voted for it had the order of the 2 votes changed karynnj Nov 2021 #40
I absolutely disagree. I very angry about this. Demsrule86 Nov 2021 #47
ok jcgoldie Nov 2021 #54
Very weak argument - let's say for argument that it "only" replaced 50% of the lead pipes karynnj Nov 2021 #39
It's threads like this that make me feel unwelcome at DU. Politicub Nov 2021 #43
well said jcgoldie Nov 2021 #48
I am a progressive and believe much as you and AOC do. However, do not go against the Demsrule86 Nov 2021 #49
Timing and medium is everything. AOC should not have used Twitter Politicub Nov 2021 #52
Yes, that is how legislation is done in the real world PatSeg Nov 2021 #69
the majority of progressives voted for the bill iemanja Nov 2021 #53
Identify myself. Hogwash. Politicub Nov 2021 #56
Yet you appear to interpret iemanja Nov 2021 #60
Thanks for pointing that out.. Most of the Cha Nov 2021 #73
And many of "us" saw the continuing damage.... Happy Hoosier Nov 2021 #76
I find them to be so frustrating... Happy Hoosier Nov 2021 #75
