Ocasio-Cortez Breaks With Pelosi in Key Early Vote for Democrats

[TexasTowelie]

75. I find it amusing (and insulting) that you are trying to blame Democrats because some of us

question AOC's tactics and that we are misogynists and/or racists for doing so.

So what if Max Rose is against Pelosi becoming speaker? I disagree with him, but I doubt that most people are aware of Rose's positions because he chooses to maintain a lower social media profile than AOC.

The reason that AOC is getting so much attention (good or bad) is that she has set herself up to receive it. AOC is also unique among all the representatives in the House in that she is the only member of the DSA. It has nothing to do with misogyny or racism.

The only thing that AOC needs to do to show that she is against PayGo is to vote against the new rules and provide an explanation when asked. If she had not made a nationwide announcement on Twitter, then this entire thread wouldn't exist. If AOC doesn't want to get the attention (good and bad), then she should stop tweeting. She chooses to do so in order to rile her base and she isn't the first politician that has used that tactic.
