debate rules is right, i should never have let myself get involved with a discussion not about my original idea.

AOC did a good job by not attending the state of the union. It'll be easier for her politically to defend not being there than it would have been to explain not applauding some of the very good things like her peers will have to do next cycle.

Lol. Unlikely.

Isn't she getting redistricted out anyway?

If her district is changing, I'm guessing she'll run against whomever is representing her new district instead?

So assuming she's running regardless, i think my point still stands?

No.

Your point wasn't really supported regardless. And as that article points out, the redistricting will likely make her chances even more grim.

thank you for your input. i value you.

Lol. Seethe more.

AOC is toast

she went too far in the true believer shit, that's why the district thing is getting redrawn to screw her

Basically.

Plus, the Trump crackdown on noncitizens voting is going to hurt her.

contrary to the fox news boomer takes all over YT, nancy pelosi is neither a demented radical nor an idiot

Oh, wait... the CM may be offended by a word like "noncitizens"...

she's a capable politician who knows what she has to do to keep her speakership as safe as it can be

it's not lost on her AOC represents a real threat to her congressional power

@A. Spader
Meh. More likely AOC is a symptom, than the disease.

But otherwise, pretty much.

sure

I'm not suggesting AOC is brilliant ether

yeah, i agree with you both. the census rules changes and redistricting will certainly hurt her. hell, i'm pretty sure i read an article saying her own district doesn't even approve of the job she's doing. and i hope she doesn't get re-elected because i think she's a pox on the system. i was specifically talking about her choosing not to go to the state of the union.

i think her base certainly approves of it, and it'll be easier to defend to centrists and swing voters

yeah I hope she wins honestly

she does more for our cause than most Dems

or Reps

for that matter

i mean, a small part of me hopes she stays relevant too for the same reasons lol

and really she's not the pox on the system you suggest

@A. Spader
But getting rid of AOC won't do anything for Pelosi.

@A. Spader
And same.

@A. Spader
But getting rid of AOC won't do anything for Pelosi.

so would you say that her skipping the speech was irrelevant then? i said it was a good thing, but it seems like you disagree.

yeah it really makes no difference

the dem optics were still terrible

so it made almost no difference

plus, it finally seems like conservative inc is getting tired of writing "you won't believe stupid thing aoc did" stories

heh. finally.

I mean

for better or worse Trump could wind up winning more of the black vote than any republican president since Eisenhower
