Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) went OFF on what she derided as an “old boys club” that is the U.S. Senate following Senator Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) revelation that he was a “no” on President Biden’s Build Back Better bill during an appearance on Fox News Sunday....
...The Congresswoman then explained out the “people’s house” is often the lone true representation of American democracy, correctly pointing out how the U.S. Senate gives more legislative power to constituents in lesser populated states (seeing as every state gets two Senators) and that the Executive branch is often led by a President who wins the electoral college but loses the popular vote, like former President Donald Trump, for example.
“God forbid they might have to actually show up and stand or sit and actually have to talk and actually live out the threat of their filibuster,” she noted. “It is unconscionable the way the Senate operates. It’s fundamentally undemocratic.”....

A truly ignorant female.
It is unconscionable that an elected politician would attempt to keep some of his promises to his constituency, apparently.
Never have been interested in conscience lectures from Pro-Abortionists.
Maybe some of the Old Boys Club understand economic better than a barmaid?
Chiquita doesn’t like the way we do things here in the U.S. Longs for PR. I wonder why she wasn’t offered a job in the new and still boring, “West Side Story”.
Wasn’t that what Sarah Palin always said ???
““God forbid they might have to actually show up and stand or sit and actually have to talk and actually live out the threat of their filibuster,”
While I agree with this statement, where was this leftist when the Senate was filibustering GOP legislation or nominees while Trump was in the WH?
I also have a problem with (s)elected representatives like her who have not read the entire ghost-written-by-special-interest-demonkkkrap-commie-radicals-legislation, let alone then be able to explain any part of it to their constituents. If she had to read the entire $1.9T demonkkkrap legislation with no input from the GOP, she would (1) have no time to campaign for 2022; (2) have no time to shoot her big mouth off in the media; and (3) still be reading it in June of 2023. She’s a punk, an automaton following orders of her masters.
That’s because we are not a democracy. We are a Republic.
The states are sovereign and are constitutional actors in their own right. The Senate is supposed to represent the interests and views of each state.
Without the Connecticut Compromise, small states had no reason to ever ratify to the Constitution. Why should they agree to a system of governance whereby their interests and their wishes would simply be ignored in favor of whatever was in the interests of large states?
Of course AOC is far too stupid to ever grasp that.
Typical lying demonkkkrap. For example, they are against gerrymandering except when they gerrymander. If Manchin rubber stamped the legislation she’s be reading her script what a great day for democracy blah blah blah.
All of a sudden she is lecturing us on how America and democracy works, stupid bitch. Talk about what you know, taking food and drink orders and stealing from the tip jar
I wonder how many drug resistant strains of syphilis this whore has contracted.
“Of course AOC is far too stupid to ever grasp that.”
She’s a puppet. Does what she is told to do, a media marketing creation as the demonkkkraps need a spokesmodel for the younger college age voters. She needs to get back into her $14,000 dress before spouting off about special clubs etc.
Ever meet a bartender without an opinion?
AOC has the best gig of her worthless life. She will say anything it takes to keep it.
It says something about the state of our country when a person lectures us about how the Constitution works when less than 5 years ago, she was slinging drinks at some dive bar in Brookly, NY.
Here is the upshot. Lead in on my web site news: Senators accuse Manshin of being sexist. There is a full court press on right now. IMO, if it be war, let it be now. There is no coexisting with these people, period.
I find it unconscionable a complete idiot can be member of congress.
But no one listens to me either
