There are plenty of useful idiots out there who think she is a visionary too. She must be made to look the foolish little girl she is at every possible turn and given no quarter.
Yep...
The problem is, the Left just doesn’t think using tried and true methods. A defeat in the Senate for this thing, wouldn’t phase them at all.
They would just write it off to corporate and political corruption. Never mind the thing is a nightmare. They just don’t see it that way. I’ve had some of it’s supporters tell me that it pays for itself. Seriously!
So while we will think we’ve really shown her up, they won’t see it that way at all.
They will see it this way.
That AOC is amazing. She’s only been in Congress for a couple of months, and she’s already got a game changing legislation on the floor of the U. S. Senate.
They won’t go away with their tail between their legs. They’ll be emboldened to tweak it worse and try it again.
Look at that monstrosity the House and Senate voted for yesterday and passed it.
It was in some ways as bad as this thing.
We’re kidding ourselves if we think we defeat this in the U. S. Senate by a wide margin, and it simply goes away.
No! It’s not going away. Next time they’ll be more clever about it, and next time it will get far more votes.
“There are plenty of useful idiots out there who think she is a visionary too.”
A mere twit with a soapbox and the microphone.
The press reminds me of a cautionary quote by Richard Strauss who I think was referring to the trombone section when he said:
“Never look encouragingly at the brass, except with a short glance to give an important cue.”
Come back and tell me this in about a decade.
I think by that time she’ll be considered the mainstream.
We lose FReepers in the obituary column every day, and young people are swimming in the Kool-Aid.
