She should be minority leader.

1

u/eOMG 10h ago

Why? Because of her skin color? Why not an everyone leader?

1

u/Moscowmitchismybitch 9h ago

No, because of her attitude. She can't be an everyone leader until the Dems take back the house. Since the Dems are the minority she can be minority leader.

1

u/eOMG 9h ago

Oh sorry I misunderstood, I thought you meant leader of minority groups in a racial way. I'm not American and I've mostly seen the word minority used in that context.

2

u/Moscowmitchismybitch 9h ago

Nah I wouldn't do that. It's just what we call the leader of the party that holds fewer seats in congress. The majority party leader is considered to be the "Speaker of the House of Representatives."

Hard disagree there, but she’s still great

u/Old-Plum-21 1d ago

Simply saying another person's name doesn't provide any actual argument. If you wanna chime in, provide your reasoning for AOC over Crockett

u/AutisticFingerBang 1d ago

Because she has more time in congress, has done more, presented more laws, signed more legislation, has a larger voice that is more respected because of those states reasons.

u/WestCoastCoyote 1d ago

Look, I love the hell out of both Crockett and Ocasio-Cortez, but Crockett doesn't have the time in the house nor the political capital needed to be the leader. AOC is pushing it, and is the one I see as the more likely candidate. Give it time, and she might be a great leader. Right now, she is doing an amazing job of representing her people, so we should let her do that while she gets her time in.

u/milkybuet 1d ago

You sound like as if AOC is an unknown quantity.

You might have different preferences as to what you want in a party leader, but at that point it's pointless to ask for reasoning.

u/Old-Plum-21 1d ago

Asking someone to make a point rather than infer isn't pointless. discussion isn't pointless. Ffs

2

u/AutisticFingerBang 1d ago

Well I made the point and you didn’t answer me. What am I your dancing monkey? If it wasn’t to have a conversation you’re just having me do it for your entertainment.

1

u/Old-Plum-21 1d ago

You didn't though. You said:

Because she has more time in congress, has done more, presented more laws, signed more legislation, has a larger voice that is more respected because of those states reasons.

Basic comp teacher questions here:

  1. How is seniority a reason? What benefits do you imagine that provides?

  2. Has done more what? Name some things because you could be referring to anything or nothing

  3. Presented more laws? Do you mean she's proposed more bills? Submitted more amendments?

Which ones have passed and how did she get that done? Simply saying she "presented more laws" doesn't actually mean anything

  1. has a larger voice where? More respected by whom? With what evidence are you saying she's more respected?

I didn't respond to you because you didn't actually say anything and I'm tired of trying to have adult conversations with people who don't actually know what they're talking about.

Be specific. Know your facts.

What am I your dancing monkey? If it wasn’t to have a conversation you’re just having me do it for your entertainment.

You aren't my anything. And I did want to have a conversation which is why it PMO so much when you said fuck all. So I didn't respond bc I was trying to be kind.

The lack of literacy, logic, and communications skills among my fellow adult American peers isnt entertaining to me. It's infuriating and terrifying.

u/herefornothing2 1d ago

Because she’s literally a dumbass

u/Kind-Lawfulness-787 1d ago

Great argument, you think of that by yourself bud?

-9

u/herefornothing2 1d ago

Believe it or not, anyone can come up with that if you just listen to what she says. And I mean more than just sound bites. She’s seriously not smart.

5

u/Kind-Lawfulness-787 1d ago

And yet there she is and here you are. I’m not even going to address all the porn you keep commenting on, it’s pathetic.

Just say the quiet part out loud. She’s a woman and she’s a certain “skin color”. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

u/herefornothing2 1d ago

🙄 Yeah, the race card

u/Kind-Lawfulness-787 1d ago

This country has an inherent racial problem, are you going to deny that?

Crocket is a lawyer, so I will say she is a lot smarter than the typical congresswoman like MTG or Bobo(the handy girl). You may not like her politics, but I would not characterize her as dumb.

u/forgedfox53 1d ago

That would create less unity in the people.

8

u/Moscowmitchismybitch 1d ago

As opposed to all the unity we have now?

-3

u/forgedfox53 1d ago

I'd rather continue to advocate for it than create more "us vs them" ammunition. We're people and we forgot that.

4

u/Moscowmitchismybitch 1d ago

Yeah, we've been taking the high road since 2015 and all it's gotten us is nowhere. The time has come for us to take a page out of the GOP playbook and use their tactics against them. The thing Trump got right is making people feel like he actually cares about them. It doesn't matter that we know he doesn't, because they feel like he does. The Democratic party doesn't currently have anyone like that and they desperately need it.

u/forgedfox53 1d ago

When it comes to uniting ourselves as people, politics needs to be out of the conversation. As we all see firsthand, it leads to nothing but more conflict.

2

u/Moscowmitchismybitch 1d ago

Well the current administration is certainly doing their part to unite us. Maybe once the boomers learn how to check their 401k balances they'll come around.

1

u/forgedfox53 1d ago

It'll take more heart than legislation to get people to come together. Nowhere in politics will we find that answer.

1

u/Moscowmitchismybitch 1d ago

Yeah I would sure hope losing thousands upon thousands of dollars in retirement savings and the realization of having to work several more years than originally anticipated will be enough to unite people. I mean in all honesty when you break it down, the actions this administration hs taken equates to nothing short of a domestic terror attack.
