  1. Call them out for what, exactly? AOC actually voted against the individual state department appropriation bill and voted against the individual defense appropriation bill. What morons, like Jackson, apparently want her to do is then vote against the entire budget, which includes healthcare, education, housing, veteran's benefits, SNAP, SSI, etc. She also voted against the final version of the Capitol Hill police bill. Dore knobs don't seem to know that it was heavily amended, in the senate, and sent back for a second house vote. That state department appropriation bill she voted against is what includes the annual offensive military aid to Israel. So what, if she didn't vote against a purely defensive system? She didn't vote for it, either, and it was a blowout vote. Her vote made no difference. Progressives have a bill to put conditions on the offensive military aid to Israel. They have an anti anti-BDS laws bill. They've been calling it out as an apartheid. Get a grip on reality and complain about the 400+ house members who voted for it, ffs. So what, if they didn't force a 100% guaranteed to fail performance art vote on M4A? The $15, dimwit Jackson was complaining they weren't getting a vote on, already did get a vote. It passed the house (M4A didn't have a shot in hell), and also got a senate vote. What have Dore knobs done with two precious lists of no voters? Just keep bitching and complaining about those who voted for it, like pathetic useless hypocrites. And, learn some basic math skills. There are zero extra votes to be gained to the left of progressives, which means it's impossible to pass a bill without Manchin. There is the entire Republican party to try and draw extra votes from, to the right of Manchin. Bring enough Republicans on board and you can easily pass bills without needing squad votes. The squad only have leverage if a bill is "must pass", to Manchin. If he doesn't care if a bill will die ... zero leverage. If he amends a bill to the right, to bring enough Republicans on board ... zero leverage. Which bill has been "must pass", to Manchin, which he couldn't get Republicans on board for?

  2. Outside the US Overton window, yes. The Overton window basically describes a country's subjective state, as opposed to a real world objective state. The Overton window is most useful to the extreme right, who get to portray real world centrists as "extreme left", and real world right wingers who portray themselves as the "centrists".
