@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 not via logical argument, but fallacious ad hominem & strawman attacks. Trolling, basically. And I've been noticing her own rhetorical tactics lately. She engages in a lot of disingenuous dissembling, which I find pretty creepy in a kind of foreshadowing sense as to where 2/
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 this is heading for her, politically. All her bullshit over tossed salad on home video RE VZ, too, along with her "I haven't decided yet about Assange." I mean, I'll say it too: fk you, AOC. 3/
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 On VZ she was literally spouting CIA and Big Oil talking points for overthrowing an elected gov for OIL. And she's supposed to be all about a GND? But she's plugging for an oil coup d'etat? And then she's so horrified by this storming at the Capitol bldg? 4/
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 What does she think she's promoting for Venezuelans? Someone posted today she follows Guaido's account & we've seen her post in response to anonymous VZ coupist accounts -obsequiously thanking them for their *erudite* political advice; i.e. the same way she fawns over Pelosi

@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 She seems to align herself in shallow ladder climbing ways. She's more interested in that than muscling through any real or significant legislation .. why she originally said she wanted to get elected.
Very disappointing.
6/6
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 7/7 The kindest thing I can say? I think the Dems were really stupid to put her out there in front on TV after what happened Wed. At best, she's too inexperienced.
But maybe they don't want to succeed in throwing Trump out. They should have done it at the beginning but it was
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 8/8 *only* ordinary Americans being killed - not members of Congress being threatened instead. And we all know they don't give a sh't about any of us.
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 9/9 One more thing .. I read - shortly before this Wed "storming" - and before the reelection of Pelosi - a small group of "Force The Vote" (for a M4A floor vote) non-violent activists conscientiously wearing masks went to the Capitol Bldg to have a sit-in at AOC's office-
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 10/ (as she has advocated for people to do to representatives) - and to talk with her about withholding votes for Pelosi. I'm understanding they weren't allowed into the building on the basis of the pandemic. Yet here they allowed an entire unmasked mob in -
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 11/ so, clearly they weren't worried about the pandemic. They felt instead threatened about being held accountable on single payer legislation -which they've been jacking the public around on - and bullsh'tting them on for decades to get votes w/out delivering the goods.
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 12/ AOC, now known to be no exception, herself counting on the reliability of American political amnesia. Meanwhile - on Wed, 4,000 American died of Covid-19 and by early Feb we are on track to see 1/2 million people dead bc of this pandemic.
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 13/ Yet what was AOC advertising herself as doing? Getting coffee and pastries guaranteed instead - and for her traumatized colleagues - along with on-site counseling - already paid for by our tax dollars for their cushy health plans, along with an additional 5 million dollars -
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 14/ we just gave these pol's for additional upgrades to their already deluxe on-site Congressional health clinic.
And while they refuse to hold a floor vote on Medicare For All.
You know if a floor vote was a bad idea, Pelosi would have done it already.
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 15/ These so-called progressives? They're Pelosi's window dressing. They're bullsh't. "Mama Bear?"
What kind of work culture is this? Make me vomit. More like Mama Mafia. They serve and protect her. Other Dems didn't have a problem not voting for her. Why should they?
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 16/ They act like she's Mama Mafia. Or even, the Madam of a brothel they work in. It's sickening. They don't act like law-makers. They can't even bring themselves to say to this 17 termer: "We won't vote for you if you don't do this. Take it or leave it." #FraudSquad
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 17/ The more they go after us for exposing them, the more they expose themselves. So they can either listen and deliver like grown-ups. Or they can nose-dive.
@Ihavenousefora1 @shipman96 18/
In the meantime, we are going to further begin discussing possible related strategies of no longer voting for prog Dems AT ALL.
Unless they deliver the goods on Medicare For ALL. #AllMeansAll
