Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has “been with the Republicans” since Congress returned, after the Michigan Democrat endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the midterms.
“She’s been with the Republicans ever since she’s come back. So she’s been on the Republican side of the aisle,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show” that aired Thursday.
“This is just the epitome of a certain kind of transactional politics,” she added. “And it’s really sad.”
Since when do you need to be elected to office before you can express an opinion for the direction you think the country should go?
If holding political office was about doing what the elected representatives want, and not what’s best for their constituents, then what we have wouldn’t be a representative democracy. It would be an oligarchy.
Comments like yours sound like pro-oligarchy.
Gee, it sure seems easy to win an argument when you make your own rules.
Ignore what I said, pretend I said something else, and then hold it against me.
Is this how you deal with every troublesome situation? You just pretend something else happened that you can get yourself out of rather than deal with what really occurred?
See, this is what I mean by bad faith trolling. Come back with something rational or don’t come back at all.
When did I make up any rules?
This is what you said:
That seems to directly imply that you believe someone needs to be elected to office before they can talk about what they think should happen politically.
So what I said wasn’t a strawman. It was a response directly to the content of what you said.
This whole paragraph seems like projection because that describes pretty well what you’re doing in multiple places in this thread. Just accusing people and being combative and antagonistic towards any semblance of dialogue.
It’s like you’re parodying logic. Is the obvious role reversal part of a joke that I’m not catching, or are you seriously this self-unaware?
Lol, that’s a lot of words for, “I can’t accept a responsibility for my actions, so I’m just gonna blame you instead“
And it’s still a stupid argument.
Bro you’re the one being disingenuous.
“No u!” Isn’t a very convincing argument.
Do you keep that comeback in your back pocket to fling around anytime someone calls you out on your projection?
Like how every comment you make is blaming me for things you did? Or just something you made up?
It’s been well over six hours, and you still can’t get over some grievance you imagined and then blamed me far. Don’t you have anything better to do?
I’m going to enjoy knowing that you’re gonna keep throwing your piss baby tantrums over something you 100% manufactured from your own imagination.
I’m also going to enjoy watching you torture yourself with that bullshit until you finally learn the lesson to just drop it and move on.
Point to a single time I did that.
What? I pointed out exactly where you said the thing that I criticized you for. It seems you just can’t handle critique, so no wonder you’re so anti-dialogue.
I’m literally only responding because you’re still responding. It’s not like I sat around all day waiting to hear back from you.
And what grievance? I critiqued your argument. Respond rationally, or get over it. What you’re doing is being disingenuous.
Again, that is 100% projection.
Again, that is 100% projection.
