The Democratic National Committee is getting backlash from its far-left base, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who got a 60-second speaking slot at the ongoing 2020 Democrat convention while former Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) spoke much longer.
NBC reported on the online friction:
The spat exposes a rift as the Democratic Party pushes a unity message by showcasing both liberals within their party and several Republicans unhappy with President Donald Trump.

This cannot be real. Did two hours of watching the Democratic National Convention cause me to lose my mind? President Trump was blamed by one woman for causing her father’s death from COVID. Yeah, she used his dead body to score political points, I’m sure that’s what hea Trump supporterwould have really wanted.
Bernie tried to get the progressive base excited for Joe; it wasn’t convincing. And then we have the loser brigade, some no-name Republicans who are throwing their support behind Joe Biden.
John Kasich is also doing thatforever cementing himself as the Benedict Arnold of the Republican Party. Well, at least for this cycle, he’s decided to fill the role.

He cooked his republican goose by boycotting his own partys convention in his own state in 2016. And the democrats will have no use for him now that he has done his dirty deed for them. Nobody likes a traitor, not even the receiving team.. Just ask Jumping Joe Jeffords how his treason worked out for him.
Democrats have a post-office problem due to 100% mail-in ballots to REGISTERED voters even if some are dead.
That is why democrats picked Kasich to speak...he is son of a mail-man!
a scam berating a sham.....lol
this is great theater.
IIRC, Arlen Specter earned the same double rejection, and one suspects that he died nearly friendless.
Candidate McCain was vilified by his "friends" across the aisle.
One suspects that Pierre Delecto is similarly, universally detested.
Time to realize that Dems are no longer “pro-choice” - They are pro-abortion.
Just about enough time to give this speech:
"Good Evening. And in conclusion, let me just say -- wait! wait! Don't start the music! I have more!"
My pleasure.
If this is the way she treats her friends you can just imagine (God forbid) what she’ll do to us if she ever gets into a position of real power.
Wokeness is a fanged monster never satisfied.
Jobs or mobs. Your choice 11/3/2020
Well, she ought to be happy she got any time at all ‘at’ the convention.
If it had been live and in person, she would have gotten more time at the convention floor, serving drinks, which is what she’s most experienced doing.
Is AOC pissed off at her own party???? Isn’t the goal of elections to try to attract more moderate or undecided voters??? Does she think her histrionics will help attract those voters????
New York is virtually certain to lose congressional seats after the 2020 census. She may find herself redistricted out of her congressional seat. She may find herself having to run against some other incumbent Democrat to keep her seat in Congress.
Just saying, if you piss off people in your own party, and undermine what they are trying to do, they can make your life tough.
Ry Cooder had it right, even mentioned Willie Brown
Crossroads lyrics:
Well, I’m standin’ at the crossroad, I’m tryin’ to flag a ride
I’m standin’ at the crossroad, tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy, save me if you please
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by
I’m going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
I’m going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-poor Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-poor Willie Brown
And I’m standing at the crossroads, believe I’m sinking down
I think the one key thing people like McCain, Romney, and Kasich don’t get is that no matter what, a vote for someone like Clinton or Biden shows two things:
1.) It is impossible for you to be a conservative in any way, shape or form. Candidates like Clinton and Biden are so antithetical to conservatism that you cannot subscribe to conservatism at your core, since your support of those people shows you to have no possible conservative core values.
2.) You value political expediency far more than any core value of any kind. That spells snake, and there is no hiding that even from the people who don’t mind using you as a tool. As a result, you will eventually be ostracized by everyone, even those people who are using you as a tool.
Hahahahahaha...that made me snort..BenLurkin, where did you get that picture???? Did you photoshop it yourself?
Oooo - cat fight!
Don’t got no photoshop skilz. It was on the interwebz.
