Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) continues to be the member of Congress who best demonstrates the qualities of leadership so badly needed by her party. She will not succeed in impeaching these Supreme Court justices, but she will shine a light on their corruption and lay down a marker for voters.
@JamesGleick I used to have a tweet pinned to my feed (when i was on twitter) that was my AOC disappointment canary: it said "if this tweet is still here, AOC hasn't disappointed me, yet."
If I were still on twitter, that tweet would probably still be up.
She will disappoint me because that's how politics and reality work. However, comparing her as a politician to every other politician I've paid any attention to in the past 30 years... there's just no real comparison. If we had 50 AOCs in Congress it would be about half as many as we need.
@JamesGleick No one ever passes the torch. RBG was is far worse health than anyone knew and she did not pass the torch because thats what power does. No one gives it up. And Trump was able to elect even more extremists to the bench.
@JamesGleick
I am going to contribute to her campaign. I am doing everything I can to show SCOTUS and the MAGA judges that the people won’t stand for them undermining democracy next winter
Let President Biden, now immune on Core Responsibilities to protect the constitution and Nation, may do as he judges best, including arresting the 6 members of the Supreme Court.
The Left has always been the violent Party bent on destroying everything in their path. Their hypocrisy is ignored. They will eat their young.
What bothers me are the lemmings who step in line, without a thought in their head and accept this.
AOC is such a mental midget it is astonishing she got 7,000 people to vote for her. But, with the lemmings behind her, she seeks to continue the French Revolution of Terror.
@JamesGleick the Dem leadership have failed.
If they had any sense they'd all fuck off into the sea and let better people try to sort out their awful, selfish mess.
They hate AOC for making them look bad, don't they?
I believe in AOC. She has the brains and the guts to stand up to any of those spineless republicans.
I believe she will accomplish great things in the near future. 🇺🇸
@JamesGleick I don't have any respect for democrats plans to deal with this (too late btw). It was easy too see coming a long way off. The GOP'S grab for ultimate unchallenged power was never the presidency which is at the mercy of elections. It was plain to see it was control of SCOTUS, lifetime appointments. Democrats DID NOTHING! they are too weak to do what is necessary to combat the GOP.
@JamesGleick the entire party needs to pick a very public fight with the court right now. Make this election a referendum on the bought-and-paid-for court paving the way for a corrupt wannabe dictator and the billionaires he is openly soliciting for bribes.
@JamesGleick SCOTUS has just granted Biden he rights of an imperial presidency to protect democracy from fascism. Let’s encourage “Fight’n Joe” to use it NOW!
