Comments by "" (@TheHuxleyAgnostic) on "Is AOC the Future of the Democratic Party?" video.

@michaelarmijo4112 Do you grasp basic math? There are zero extra votes to be gained to the left of progressives. It is absolutely impossible to pass a bill without votes from the most conservative Dems, like Manchin. On the flip side, there is the entire Republican party to try and draw extra votes from, to the right of conservative Dems. If they can bring enough Republicans onto a bill, then they don't need progressive votes to pass the bill. Expecting even 100 progressives to be able to pass whatever they want, is nonsensical. What about her voting record is it that you think is highly problematic? When did she "promise" to remove Nancy? How is that even possible, when even the entire progressive caucus doesn't have enough votes, within the Dem caucus, to pick a different speaker candidate? Blocking the house speaker vote just paralyzes the house, until a speaker is elected. It doesn't change who the party puts forth as a candidate. The corporate Dem majority could keep picking Pelosi over and over and over, or someone even worse. All you'd be doing is paralyzing the house, indefinitely, rather than ousting the party speaker candidate.

@michaelgrimm2121 Shouldn't everyone hate fascism, dumb dumb? You "enlightened centrists" are how fascists get in power. Absolutely no progressive is promoting policies that would move the US left of actual real world centrism, or promoting overthrowing the democratic process. The majority of Republicans lawmakers promoted overthrowing the democratic process. The majority of Republican lawmakers actually tried to overthrow the democratic process. You: But ... both sides!

@michaelgrimm2121 You're a loon.

@scottbowling58 NYC banned garbage disposals for a long time. They hardly have any. Calling someone stupid, for just not having seen a garbage disposal before is more a sign that you're stupid.

@riheg So, AOC is fighting them, when she backs pro-M4A progressives against them?

@michaelgrimm2121 Policy wise, progressives haven't promoted any policies that would move the US left of Denmark, which is centrist, at most. It seems to be the right wing fascists that are using the government to ban bds, ban crt (which isn't even taught in public schools), ban abortions, ban life saving measures, make protesting harder and more dangerous, etc. They're also the ones who's leader called for overthrowing the democratic process, who's majority of lawmakers tried to overthrow the democratic process, and who brainwashed tens of millions of followers into believing a lie that led some to try and violently overthrow the democratic process. And you're whining about someone who wants you to have free dentures?

@riheg Rofl. Now you're arguing that Pelosi isn't so bad, and wanted AOC to help take out a few more corporate Dems, and increase the number of M4A yes votes in congress?

@michaelarmijo4112 She helped add a few more progressive yes votes to congress, which is what actually moves you closer to being able to pass a progressive bill. She was just trying again, with Nina Turner. That, alone, is doing something. Wait ... do you think going the third party route, which hasn't won the most popular third party a single seat in congress in its near 50 year existence ... that puts you on the sidelines, with zero seats, zero votes, zero bills, zero amendments, zero committee time, zero floor time, etc. ... counts as doing something? Rofl!

@michaelarmijo4112 You didn't, in fact, ask anything, dimwit. Questions have question marks at the end of them. You're the one who needs to research how the party speaker candidate is picked. Even the entire progressive caucus isn't enough votes to pick a different party speaker candidate, which is picked by simple majority of the Dem caucus. No, I'm talking to a complete and utter moron. The Hill's Rising had to do a retraction, when they claimed AOC voted for it. Their correction said she voted no. When AOC criticized some other members of congress for voting for it, they could have simply said "same to you", if she had voted for it, but they didn't ... indicating she hadn't. AOC's corporate Dem primary opponent, ran attack ads against her for voting against it. There's zero evidence she voted for it. Bernie has never hid the fact that he has always caucused with the Democrats. Bernie has never hid that he's a harm reductionist. He always said he'd support whoever won the Democratic party primary. If you expected him to do otherwise, then you were never listening to what he was saying, and are a complete and utter moron. Especially when the opponent was the incompetent fascist, Trump, why would you be upset that he encouraged voting against Trump ... unless you're a Trump supporter, of course?

@michaelarmijo4112 Not one example ... like calling to overthrow the democratic process, convincing the majority of Republican lawmakers to try and overthrow the democratic process, and convincing tens of millions of cultists to believe the lies that led to hundreds of them trying to violently overthrow the democratic process? He wanted to install himself as an unelected dictator, ffs. Just how stupid are you? Are you waiting for a resurrected Kennedy in a bush somewhere? Rofl. How did Bernie know what was a lie? The FBI (which has been run by Republicans much longer than Democrats, over the last 40 years) was investigating Trump. Republican Mueller ended up indicting 19 Russians and 3 Russian companies. They presented 200 pages of information sharing (collusion) that didn't amount to criminal conspiracy. They only didn't indict Jr and Kushner for criminal conspiracy because it said it would be hard to prove they "willfully" broke the law, not because they didn't break the law.

@MrDeanmfitz Is that how it works? Any Republicans that use roads, public schools, Medicaid, Medicare, etc., don't actually believe in a free market?
1
@MrDeanmfitz Yeah, infrastructure is largely publicly owned and operated ... the opposite of privately owned and operated ... and shouldn't be used by true free market capitalists, or else they aren't true free market capitalists.
1
@MrDeanmfitz And my thought is that, if you apply your "logic" (that someone not living in a system they want should still act as if that system exists) to everyone's positions, then everyone espousing to be in favor of free market capitalism, who isn't living off grid somewhere, is also a hypocrite.

@riheg You're making the establishment sound not so bad, by arguing the establishment wanted her to help replace a few of them with other pro-M4A progressives.
