AOC Says Dems Need to Win Senate to Avoid Being Bipartisan, Will Force Biden Left
MenRec ^ | 10/28/20 | Staff

Posted on 10/28/2020 6:09:14 AM PDT by rustyweiss74

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) again vowed to push Joe Biden further to the left should he win the election and added Democrats need to retake the Senate to avoid the burden of having to govern in a bipartisan fashion.

AOC, known as one of the more vociferous voices in the far-left element of the Democrat party, made the comments during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper.

In the segment, the ‘Squad’ leader dismissed bipartisanship as little more than “Republican manipulation.”

She hinted that the 2020 election could be a “once-in-a-generation opportunity to have the White House, the Senate, and the House majorities Democratically-controlled.”

“We have an obligation to the American people to show what a Democratic administration can actually accomplish,” claimed Ocasio-Cortez.

She went on to suggest her party needs to demonstrate to the American people “that we can govern” and do so as “a memorable shift from just a flatline of this idea of bipartisanship.”

Keep those Silent Majority reminders coming, AOC. A lesser leftist would keep mum for a week until the polls close. Keep up the good work!

The Dems have the House, and she thinks they have a once in a generation chance to run the table with Biden vs Trump?

Delusional.

These freshman Squad kids kill me. Forget seniority, forget experience, forget protocol. We’re just going to ram agenda through regardless of what the rest of our party thinks.

Why does she believe America will sit by and accept its destruction?

They did nothing except pass Obamacare, which is Phase 1 if the plan to get a one-payer system (socialized medicine). Once the government is the only legal medical provider, they control the country, period.

Part of the reason that they did little else was their arrogance and inherent cruelty. First, they thought that they had this in the bag, that nothing could stop them in their drive for one-party rule. Second, they wanted to do it gradually to make us normals who opposed them suffer while they gradually and inexorably tightened the noise.

When we “dared” to interfere with their plans by not approving court nominees, they began to get a bit less arrogant and started taking the gloves off with Harry Reid’s decision to begin getting rid of the filibuster. When we didn’t take the hint (obey, or else) and elected Trump, the mask dropped on their insane obsession with controlling us. This demented twit and the rest of the “Squad” are evidence of this.
