  1. AOC voted against the CARES act and Jimmy still calls her a sellout and a shill. She's a member of the DSA, which has been holding M4A rallies. Her progressive PAC just helped get more progressives elected to congress. Jimmy simply runs off his mouth and somehow thinks he has more progressive cred than her. He's a moron. He thinks holding a vote guaranteed to fail will lead to some progressive wave of voting in 2022, enough to get a majority in both the house and senate, and then pass M4A? He thought letting Trump win would bring about a massive wave of progressive voting, as well. If bitch Pelosi considers the threat a bluff, then what? Abstain and let a Republican speaker win? Vote for someone else (who?) and paralyze the House (with corporate Dems, Republicans, and the corporate media, blaming progressives for the House not being able to accomplish anything)?

  2. Progressives are already behind M4A. The only matter is whether holding a vote guaranteed to fail will accomplish anything. Jimmy thinks it might lead to a progressive wave of voting, come 2022, and if you win enough seats in both the House and Senate, you could try again. Jimmy also thought letting Trump win in 2016 would bring about a massive progressive wave of voters, so he's not the best strategist, or forecaster. AOC's progressive PAC just helped get more progressives elected to congress. Jimmy calling her a shill, for disagreeing on tactics, isn't helpful and just straight up bullshit. That's exactly what he wants his own "plan" to end up doing. I don't recall Jimmy promoting progressive candidates as much as he possibly could, leading into the election. He was busy whining about Colbert crying, shit Obama (no longer an actual politician) said, and bashing Trump's only viable opponent, basically doing attack ads for the Trump campaign.

  3.  @cpj75010  And now he's calling her a "shill", which is pure bullshit. The Tea Party attacked mainstream Republicans, they didn't attack their own Tea Party friendly politicians. Jimmy is doing his best to destroy the credibility of the most progressive politians in congress. He doesn't give a crap. He proved in 2016 that he doesn't really give a crap who's in charge. He stupidly thinks fascists and neolibs are samesies. He, basically, ran an attack ad campaign, for Trump against Biden, leading into the 2020 election, as well. He could have been organizing M4A protests all along. He could have promoted DSA M4A rallies all along. You know, before the elections that just happened. The Civil Rights Act was held up by a minority filibuster, back when that was an actual thing. It didn't lose to a majority vote. The majority could quickly reintroduce it, and then held out through another minority filibuster. If you have to threaten the speaker election for a vote, then it likely won't be reintroduced until the next time you can threaten the speaker election. There's already plenty of agitation in the streets. Republicans, especially, don't care, and they control the senate, atm. Things would have to escalate a lot more for them to act.
