re: #391 Brian J.

Hardy har har. So I take it you were in support of extending the shutdown, as Ocasio repeatedly voted to do, unlike every other House Democrat?

There are a lot of Democrats who are proceeding under the belief that the internet left is a majority or near-majority of the party. They’re going to be really disappointed, as nearly all of them were in 2018, to find that the Democrats need moderate suburbanites for a majority at any level, and scaring them off is politically suicidal.

Politically calculated vote. The Dems already had the votes necessary to pass the bill, so some dissent can be allowed for pet issues. AOC had voted previously with the rest of the Dems, until the last vote. It’s no different to what Obama did while he was a Senator.
