Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez only got a minute to speak at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night but she made it count as a warning that Joe Biden not ignore the party’s far-left wing, nominating socialist Bernie Sanders and making no mention of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
“I hereby second the nomination for Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont for President of the United States of America,” the New York Democratic socialist said at the end of her 60-second address.

Ouch. So much for Dem unity. I predict that party will fracture even if Joe wins.
If Trump wins they will implode. :mrgreen:
Lol you have republicans speaking at the DNC against trump and you think your comments carry weight, how cute. :lamo

For those unfamiliar with the procedures, this was a symbolic nomination required under the DNC rules. Every candidate who received enough caucus and primary votes must be nominated.

There are definitely way too many people reading far too much into this.

There's an old political adage for Democrats that is campaign to the left during the primaries, then move toward the center during the general election campaign. Moving left during the general would be a mistake for Biden. I know the progressives would like it, but percentage wise, they make up a lot smaller portion of the total electorate than independents do. Generally speaking, not all, independents ideological wise are somewhere in-between the two major parties.
Hillary made this mistake by staying left during the general trying to placate Sanders supporters. Hence she lost the independent vote and the election. This gets little to no attention when it comes to reasons why Hillary lost. Biden has his good size lead because independents view him as a moderate along with viewing Trump with a very distasteful personality and having very unpresidential behavior. Those two together has helped Biden to an almost 10 point lead at the moment. The dislike of Trump as a person, as an individual, disliking the man himself and viewing Biden as an adult with moderate political views in line with the average American Joe.
Trump's only hope as of today, is to have Biden move left so his negative personal attacks of being a socialist will have something to stick to, to adhere to. Trump must win the independent vote or lose the election, the Democrats are still the larger party. Without winning independents, Trump is a dead duck. Remember Joe, keep moving toward the center.

You just proved my point, though. The only reason these people are together is because they hate Trump. So this means that the alliance will split apart the moment Trump is gone, or if he gets reelected.
Wasn't I just talking about this in another thread, that militant angry far left behavior that will train wreck any sense of unity for Democrats?
Ironically Sanders himself was talking about unity under "Trump must not gain another term, and Biden must win."
Then AOC speaks...
FFS.

Again, as I've gone over with you countless times, the policy support and lean of the general actually aligns with progressives.
Biden has his (narrowing) lead because Trump is rightly seen as a straight up disaster, with the majority of his support explicitly deriving from the fact that he's not Trump: Poll: 56% Of Biden Voters Say They’re Voting For Him Because He’s ‘Not Trump’ (also, if you could provide evidence in support of your claim that he's doing well specifically because of his moderate flavour as you claim, that would be appreciated). Honestly, if it weren't for COVID and Trump's epic mismanagement of it, I would be very apprehensive about Biden's chances.

Her role in seconding Sanders’s nomination was strictly procedural. Sanders suspended his presidential campaign more than four months ago and has since endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden. Convention rules require formal nominations for any candidate who surpasses a set delegate threshold.
In a pair of tweets posted after her speech in favor of Sanders’s nomination was aired, Ocasio-Cortez made note of the convention rules and said that she had been asked to second the Vermont senator’s nomination, calling the experience “an absolute honor.”
She congratulated Biden, saying that she is looking forward to fighting for our future together and reclaiming our democracy in November.
AOC said:If you were confused, no worries!
Convention rules require roll call & nominations for every candidate that passes the delegate threshold.
I was asked to 2nd the nom for Sen. Sanders for roll call.
I extend my deepest congratulations to @JoeBiden
- let’s go win in November.
Those Republicans came together with Democrats because they are patriots, as opposed to Trump sycophants like the rest of the GOP, and are disturbed at the extent to which Trump has debauched the presidency, our system of norms and democracy.You just proved my point, though. The only reason these people are together is because they hate Trump. So this means that the alliance will split apart the moment Trump is gone, or if he gets reelected.
Meanwhile, the Republicans have actual criminals and racists speaking at their convention.

You should be ashamed of yourself.
leave it to AOC to throw gas on a fire.
