“Mitch, the great compromiser." -cepalg

“X improvements"  well holy shit you convinced me

Ok maybe you can tell me since the other dishit won't, even if there were 240 AOCs in the House, what do you believe the realistic outcome would have been by not passing the bill?

You answer first.

Now tell us what you feel victory would look like.

OK, so tell me, bitch

Bruh, I asked you to tell me you thought AOC would do better. Your answer was a big fat nothing.

Improve, no, but I am under the impression that not having any conditions at all is likely to be worse. Again, if you want to believe that the end result otherwise would be doors unlocked and people walking free to pursue their dreams, good luck with that.

Yes, we need to work to get rid of Trump. But she and all the other members of the House are up for re-election again, as well. With what she’s doing, Pelosi is effectively neutering the GOP’s tried-and-true tactic of using her to scare voters into giving the House to the GOP. Without changing her own policies at all,…

The wall was a thing that did not yet exist, so denying money for it is not hurting it. Migrants being in our country and in need is a thing that exists. Denying any resources at all for their survival is most certainly a thing that will harm them.

And when Mitch wants to do the same thing, he seems quite able to, as well.  Odd indeed.

I dunno, please do look into this government shutdown thing and let me know all of the glorious benefits of it, especially for poor and homeless people, and how the GOP really hates it.

That’s like saying funding for cancer research guarantees we won’t ever be able to simply make it go away by ignoring it.

I really do like this fantasy of yours that if they had simply refused to pass a bill, ICE and CBP agents would have unlocked the cages, patted everyone on the back, and said, “Congratulations, you’re free to go start your new lives now.” It’s kinda cute.

It's not the change that's the problem.  It's the total lack of recognition that you need votes to get change.  Which means you need control of both branches of the legislature and the White House to get change.  AOC and crew are doing nothing to help that cause.  The 'squad' wad 0% of the effort to flip the House to…

“...I wouldn’t waste a bullet on.”

Yeah but we’re lucky he didn’t win because he wasn’t as progressive as...*checks notes*....Bill Clinton

I know you’re admittedly not a smart man, Paul. People don’t vote for parties for president, Paul, they vote for the candidates they like, or against the candidates they don’t like. Pelosi is not one of the Democrat candidates running for president, Paul.
