AOC nominates Bernie Sanders, snubs Joe Biden in DNC address

Can you name one time in history in either the republican or democratic party where someone got the nomination unanimously? You can't, so you won't.

Not the point though, she didnt mention Joe in her speech at all while praising Bernie. She only tweeted about it afterwards. That tells us a lot. ;)

Bernie supporters have to be getting used to being screwed so many times that you have figure at this point they like it.

Ouch. So much for Dem unity. I predict that party will fracture even if Joe wins.

If Trump wins they will implode. :mrgreen:




You know...it really is quite stupid to make threads when you only read the headline (assuming you weren't just being dishonest again).

The congresswoman cleared the air in a tweet in which she explained that it was a procedural vote and said she was asked by convention organizers to second Sanders’ nomination because he passed the delegate threshold. . . . “I extend my deepest congratulations to Joe Biden — let’s go win in November,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.


Another POS of a thread by PoS cashes and burns. Wompity-womp.

No, it doesn't tell us anything. She did exactly as she was asked.

Sometimes you need to quit while you're behind.
 
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?

Is it the militant angry far left behavior that will train wreck the unity? Or will it be Joe's willingness to die on the hill of opposing Medicare for All, a policy supported by 66% of Americans, including 87% of Democrat voters, when that policy is more needed than ever?

LOL the fact that you keep coming into these threads and whining about it means that it has affected you. Well done on proving me right. :lamo

You lead with focus solely on her nomination of Sanders. You got called on the absurdity of your attack. Moving the goalposts over to whether or not she voiced support for Biden at the right time is just sad.





LOL riight. When AOC does something and then explains it away later on, you fall down on your knees, but when Trump does the same thing you take him literally.

I love exposing lib hypocrisy. :lol:

Oh, you're exposing something allright. But it sure isn't "hypocrisy".

So as expected, you can't name one time in US history that either party has nominated a candidate unopposed.

You're just being dishonest because you have an agenda. I called you on it, and now you're running.

I am not the subject. The subject is your massive failure of a thread. You thought it mattered that she nominated him. You didn't know it was because she was asked to OR that this happens every single convention. You didn't know she voiced support for Biden either.

It was an all-around fail, and no amount of trollish swill will change that.
 
They aren't mistakenly reading into this. There are alot of dishonest hacks and they are simply lying and trying to cause drama. When you support a piece of **** like Trump, it's the only tool in your belt at this point. They are trolling.

Note that I never specified whether they did so mistakenly.
 
OP spreading misinformation? Shocked I tell you!

If the primary season was a single issue oriented as you are making this out to be, the result would be different with a different party nod now wouldn't it?
 
Okay, that's fair. Which of Biden's policies do you think the voters found more attractive in him as a candidate then?
 
I said republican.

I assume you are just going to ignore:

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell

Former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman

Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman

Former Congresswoman Susan Molinari of New York
 
I've been filling this site with the opinion that this election is all about Trump and his obnoxious, uncouth personality, his child like antics of throwing temper tantrums and calling others names. His very unpresidential behavior. Not so much his policies or what he has or hasn't done as president. I have no reason to doubt that half of Biden's supporters don't like Trump. That would be true regardless of who the Democrats nominated.

Biden's strength, he isn't Trump nor is he Hillary Clinton. He's also viewed as a moderate more in line with America as a whole. Up to this point, this election has been all about Trump's personality. The dislike of Trump as a person, an individual, the man himself. Perhaps I'm trying to look at this as a normal election which it isn't. No election with Trump involved is a normal election. But I'll stick by that old political adage.

So time will tell, If Biden goes left then we'll see how it turns out. If Biden stays more or less as a moderate, we'll see how that turns out also.

Again, I would like you to produce receipts for your claims that it is Biden's moderate lean that is his most appealing quality, when factually it thus far seems to actually be that Trump is such an intolerable train wreck. Hell, personally the only reason I voted for Clinton in 2016 and am voting for Biden in 2020 is because I know Trump would be, and has been, an utter **** show of a president.

Here are my receipts on the general populace being aligned with key pillars of progressive policy:

  1. 83% of Dems, 69% of Independents and 43% of Republicans currently back the 'radical' Medicare for All, with an overall support of 67% ( 87% of Democrats Support 'Medicare for All,' Though Joe Biden Doesn't ).
  2. Free tuition public college has 55% support, with 11% undecided: Amid Pandemic, Support Soars for Online Learning, Parent Poll Shows - Education Next
  3. 79% support a federal jobs guarantee, including 71% of Republicans (and this was just prior to the Coronavirus!!): Majority of voters support a federal jobs guarantee program | TheHill
  4. A big infrastructure spend paid for by taxes on the rich has 62% support: Poll shows infrastructure spending is popular, if rich people pay - Vox
  5. Green New Deal has 60% support from likely voters and 63% more generally: Poll: The Green New Deal is as popular as legalizing weed | Grist
  6. About 66% of the population supports legalizing marijuana including 55% of Republicans: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/11/14/americans-support-marijuana-legalization/ | https://www.forbes.com/sites/robert...ization-may-not-be-a-blue-issue/#73854fe458bf

Of course he's going to ignore them.
 
What Republican spoke at the Democratic Convention?

I can't believe you are that ignorant. Multiple threads were started before and during the convention about John Kasich doing it. Last night, Colin Powell, who was appointed by George Bush for a high-ranked job in Washington (and kept it all eight years), spoke. There was also a segment on the first night showing Republican politicians telling viewers to vote for Joe Biden, including governors, state legislators, people who work with Kamala Harris.

Ironically Sanders himself was talking about unity under "Trump must not gain another term, and Biden must win."

Then AOC speaks...

FFS.

Oh come on.

The congresswoman cleared the air in a tweet in which she explained that it was a procedural vote and said she was asked by convention organizers to second Sanders’ nomination because he passed the delegate threshold. . . .“I extend my deepest congratulations to Joe Biden — let’s go win in November,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.


And apparently some of her supporters were pissy that Kaisch got to speak longer.


AOC supporters were upset that the Bronx congresswoman had only been given a 60-second speaking slot after Republicans such as former Ohio Gov. John Kasich were feted on Monday evening. A petition launched by progressive delegates called it “unacceptable” and argued the Democratic socialist should have been a keynote speaker. The Biden campaign worked hard to woo the influential Democratic socialist, appointing her as the co-chair of Biden’s climate change panel and engaging her in discussions about how they could be more progressive.




What "angry militant far left behavior"? They asked her to do it. Apparently it's some silly tradition. So she did it. She also voiced support for Biden (again).

As well they should be; I too was miffed. She got 1/4th the time of Kasich (if not less), who is a noted opponent of reproductive rights, despite twice as many Dems wanting to hear from her, and a supermajority not wanting to see Kasich make an appearance: https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1295008521600282624 | CBS News Battleground Tracker, August 12 - 14, 2020.pdf - Google Drive
 
AOC goes from onedumbho to patron Saint of the GOP in 60 seconds, and people don't believe in magic?

Republicans who leave Trump should be made welcome. Even if not everyone exactly wants to hear from Kaisch, we need a big tent to contest with Trump's shrinking one. Besides, we'll have to get used to compromising with people we don't agree with again if we're ever going to break out of the current tribal politics.

In politics, gestures matter. I think it was a good idea to make this gesture.
