AOC Hails President Biden As 'A Good Faith Partner'
The New York congresswoman was highly complimentary of Biden's willingness to negotiate with progressives.https://crooksandliars.com/2021/10/aoc-congratulates-president-biden-good
On CBS' Face The Nation, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez remarked that Pres. Joe Biden has done everything in good faith, as he is trying to get his legislation passed. “I think that President Biden has been a good faith partner to the entire Democratic party,” Ocasio-Cortez said. AOC said that Biden is a moderate, but "reaches out and actually tries to understand our perspective and that is why I am fighting for his agenda."
It has been frustrating legislating a bold agenda when you have senators like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema refusing to negotiate in good faith after such a tumultuous last administration. The American people spoke out strongly in electing President Biden overwhelmingly, and flipping the Senate to the Democratic party. Yet these two rogue Democrats refuse to get on board to fulfil the will of the people. But the fight continues.
The mainstream media, though, seems to be pining for the days of Traitor Trump's unhinged antics, so they've been claiming (falsely) that Biden's agenda is in "crisis." Eric Boehlert in his newsletter writes, "Everybody knows the DC media’s approved story-line these days — battered by 'crises,' the president’s approval rating has 'collapsed.'

So what happens when a news outlet produces a poll that shows President Joe Biden with a healthy 50% approval rating? If you’re the AP, you stick to the script and spin it as bad news. Fact: In four years in office, Trump never once hit 50% approval." Wanting to pass major legislation for the Democratic party that helps the majority of the American people is always a chore, and yet the Beltway Media always feels compelled to couch it in right-wing talking points.

she doesn't support him or his agenda . 
Shitty republican tricks are all In vogue.
Easily startled but will soon be along - and in greater numbers - after they find the TV clicker and check to see what those kids are doing across the street.
other DUers…like the first two posts in this thread! 
Congratulations. This was about the quickest switcheroo yet. 
especially by calling names. So predictable, thank you.

No, Autumn, she does not.
It is still clearly seen in post #1. The is a big part or your comment, Autumn.
and this:
Now you call anyone that disagrees with AOC is a Repubicon or troll???!!
Just stop, Autumn.
I didn't say what I said. about Democrats. 
like you do. Some things I agree with them on. Other things I don't. 
That's why Democrats elected him. 
His and our party's domestic agendas don't seem to leave much for anyone to complain about, do they? Even most Republican voters. Thank goodness.
a good chance to see who Democrats really are. It says a lot that activists like Ms. Ocasio-Cortez are proud to be part of what we're doing.
Our bold actions aren't just speaking louder than words but also louder than lies of the past. Of course, we've learned that we have to shout them to the world, over and over, and that's a difference.
In 2009, Obama and Democrats saved the nation and the world economy from the collapse the GOP brought us to. Yet in 2010 confused voters, snowed under with lies from all sides, didn't understand that. They didn't know who created the big tax rebates that showed up as lower tax bills; millions didn't even know they're received them. This time we sent emergency stimulus checks.
So, we act and we blow our horns. We only need a few more percentages of voters to believe we can and will change everything.
President Joe knows we need to get things done to address income inequality, racial inequality, women's and LBGT Rights, a decaying physical infrastructure and a crippling pandemic.
He knows he has to pull out all the stops, and work with EVERY SIDE to get the right combination of infrastructure renewal programs, tax incentives, tax cuts, medical programs, and social reforms to put the USA back together in a bigger, better way.
I am a progressive - been on the left all my life. I saw and heard then VP Joe speak at the Pittsburgh Labor Day Parade in August 2016. Damn if he didn't sound almost like Senator Bernie in a lot of that speech, and also channeled and supported Hillary's ideas too.
He is a consummate politician who does not let labels stand in the way of getting things done. After that speech, and seeing how he has governed since he has assumed the office of the President in January, just like AOC I respect and support him 110%.
I don't care that he is a moderate, and sometimes pushes ideas that may not be progressive at all. He gets a big pass in my eyes.
In these times, Joe Biden is the best person for the job of President of the USA. Period.
Still though he may come across as moderate, the domestic policies he is trying to implement are are not moderate policies. They will achieve a lot of the things that the far left progressives want, but his approach is different and more doable (hopefully).
I think at his core, Biden is more liberal than he seems, but many years of experience have also made him pragmatic.
Well said by AOC!
