AOC: We Must Eliminate the Filibuster Because ‘Democratic Policies Are Popular’
Breitbart ^ | 06/28/2021 | Hannah Bleu

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) believes it is essential to eliminate the filibuster, which requires 60 votes to pass most legislation, because Democrat policies are “popular.”

Responding to remarks from Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), who is adamantly opposed to ending the filibuster, Ocasio-Cortez argued political systems “all across the country” and “all across the world” use a simple majority to pass legislation and that the functions of the U.S. Senate should be no different.

If they are popular, then get 60 votes...

Shouldn’t be hard to do if they are so popular.

If their Policies are so Popular, why is the Filibuster a problem?

If Elections are so fair, why is auditing the results a problem?

That’s what my father used to say to me when I was a kid and I messed things up. AOC appears to be a permanent fixture in that condition.

Not as popular as a dumb bartender pouring cheap drinks.

Watch this two faced idiot change her tune when the Republicans are in power.

Then it will be, “this is necessary to keep the majority from trampling the rights of the minority.”

Exactly. If the policies were so popular, it would be easy to get 60 plus votes to end debate and pass legislation.

I get the impression that Ocasio-Cortez says things and doesn’t think through what she is trying to communicate.

“AOC: We Must Eliminate the Filibuster Because ‘Democratic Policies Are Popular’”

Popular among the IQ of 37 crowd that AOC is the queen of.

She’s not in the Senate. She needs to stay in her lane.

How does this be-yotch merit any attention at all? So she wins her first election to Congress and all of a sudden she’s the voice of the Democrats and young folks?

She is a nothing and deserves no press at all. Ignore her and she will fade into well-deserved nothingness...the sooner the better.

That is the exact genius of the Founders. Excellent point.

And someone reported porn is breaking all records since the stay at home pandemic last year. ((No one on this forum could verify that. Leave it as hearsay.))

Big media is quiet about this. I guess they agree with her.

So the US needs to dance to the tune of the Puerto Rican barmaid. Got it. That’s what made us great. Sure.

Stupid power hungry witch thinks we should just do what everyone else does.

Lie and force people. She needs to go to the places that she thinks do things her way and get the hell out of America. Take that odious big mouth with you ya wench.

“Watch this two faced idiot change her tune when the Republicans are in power.”

The goal of eliminating the filibuster is to pass the universal voting fraud bill and to pack the supreme court. That means AOC will never have to worry about Republicans getting back into power.

This is America’s first Venezuela moment. Win once and never lose again.
