Also, it's pretty sad that the party has went so far left that they don't believe in the ability to think for oneself. If you don't do exactly as Pelosi or AOC says, you aren't "part of the team." That's pathetic.

Its the same as with their identity politics game. If you don't vote democrat, you're not a real "black" or "Hispanic" or you're a "traitor to women." It's pathetic and bigoted.

On a side note, its official AOC is further alienating the majority of her party. She is making a list of moderate democrats so that they can be primaried and voted out. She wants the party to be as far left as possible. I guess she doesn't realize that the majority of the party are people more like Wylie than like B_L.

Well, that would be something IF she successfully follows through with it (assuming not every Dem will heed the warning.) It's quite a potential power play. If it works, she is, in effect, Speaker of the House with Pelosi being a puppet.

Since Pelosi is a very canny politician, I'm guessing it won't work. Either she will be ignored and back down or she will follow through with the threat and watch most of the moderates win their primaries.

This is what happens when you only get your news from Fox etc.

What actually happened in that meeting:

In a closed-door session, a frustrated Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lashed out at about two dozen moderates and pressured them to get on board. “We are either a team or we’re not, and we have to make that decision,” Pelosi said, according to two people present but not authorized to discuss the remarks publicly.

It is interesting how afraid the right is of AOC.

If you mean that the right is scared of someone holding great power that is clueless to reality, yeah that's pretty scary. Other than that, I would say her stupidity is more comical than scary.

P.S. I don't watch Fox News. I actually don't even have cable tv. My source was the Washington examiner.

The Washington Examiner is like Fox News if Fox News was a low-budget neighborhood newspaper that paid crackheads to throw it on your lawn once a week.

AOC isn't dumb. She might misspeak once in a while, but if we were to list out every member of the house in order of intelligence (not just IQ but full spectrum intelligence including EQ), she definitely wouldn't be near the bottom. You just disagree with her politics.

I for sure disagree with her politics but, as I said earlier, that is not why I think she's dumb. I disagree with your politics, but I don't think you're dumb. She's dumb because she constantly says stupid stuff. She for sure is at the bottom of the intelligence spectrum.

That's crazy talk Coach. You have NO F'n idea whether she's bright or a moron. ALL you know is what you've had "reported" to you.
When you have met her personally and had a chance to actually gauge her mind BASED on reasonable interaction, THEN you'll be able to opine on this congressperson's relative level of intelligence. Until then you're just revealing yourself to be extremely biased on AOC.

Bob, with all due respect and I mean with all due respect. I think bad luck is dumb.

100% accurate. Stick to your guns KO.

Why are you including me in this rebuttal?

I made a hypothetical based on what strikeout posted. If what strikeout posted is not factual, nail him to the wall but quote his comment only if you want to talk about "fear" among the political "right."

Says the guy who, last week, said that if you don't vote for Trump then you aren't a conservative.

Keep on keepin' on.

I said that? LOL find that post. You lying again, tang. Just say no to drugs.

Oh and Bill Gates also agrees she is dumb.

You definitely did, I will search for it when I have time. I don't do drugs.

Btw, you ALSO consistently call Jews who voted democrat 'traitors'.

"If you don't vote Republican, you're not a real "Jew" or you're a "traitor to Israel". It's pathetic and bigoted."

You mentioned someone being a never Trumper so they aren't a real conservative.

Either way, you are a massive hypocrite.
