In reply to the discussion: Nancy Pelosi just threw some serious shade at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's 'Green New Deal' [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)But the whole repeating over and over that AOC is some kind of star. The MSM saw early on her potential to be used as a polorizing figure and went with it. She well represents her district but hardly all districts in our caucus.
And you would never know that our new incoming freshman are hardly a bunch of Democrat Socialist. To the contrary, a large number won republican held seats in moderate districts and reflect that moderation.
But fights sell and AOC is the perfect tool for them to set up a nonexistent straw man fight in our party.
We have a large number of members who persevered with no power while republicans controlled everything. The idea that they should lose assignments to any freshman, moderate or not is somewhat insulting.
