Pretty sure corporations would benefit from a stimulus package so that doesn’t make any sense

Do you and sys seriously not know the difference between a stimulus helping out corporations by giving consumers more buying power, and handing Morgan Stanley $65 Billion? One third of $6 Trillion stimulus went directly to Wall Street banks. Did y'all not know that or do you not know the difference between Goldman Sachs and Boeing?

Article's title is p great. I thought Omar's margin within her district really lagged behind Biden tho.

Quote
Socialists must be under no illusions that liberal sections of these center-left political parties would like to destroy them. On a post-election conference call in the United States, former CIA agent and current congresswoman Abigail Spanberger even demanded that the Democrats never say the word “socialism” ever again.

This is a blatant attempt to rewrite history. As Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pointed out recently in a scathing interview, progressives were central to Biden’s victory. Their grassroots organizing efforts helped to produce record turnouts across the country. This was particularly the case in swing states like Minnesota — where the Washington Post covered Rep. Ilhan Omar’s efforts in the weeks leading up to election day.

It did, by about 20%

1)  please don't include me in a response to another poster's comment that had nothing to do with what i said.
2)  don't interepret the above to mean that i agree with the accuracy of anything you stated above.  god alone knows what you're talking about (the federal reserve backstop of corporate debt?).  whatever, don't know, don't care.

good news for aoc, mir and other progressives.  the economy didn't crater, there weren't any losses to backstop and the trump admin is wisely trying to undo the entire emergency funding apparatus to make sure everyone gets good and mumped if the economy craters under biden.

How difficult would it be to put the emergency funding apparatus back into place?

of course not, she just tweets misleading nonsense whining about money going to corporations without specifying her objections.

You took exception to me lumping you in with kim carnes but you did the same thing he did, she didn't whine about money going to corporations, she quite clearly said "wall street." I'll ask again, she clearly knows the difference between Wall Street banks and corporations, do you? I don't see any recent mentions of money going to corporations on her feed, I'm sure you'll find something a couple of hundred tweets ago though.

Also, she voted for the original stimulus. She's shaming Mitch and the pubs not voting on a new one with those tweets and her speech today. It's only confusing/misleading if you want it to be.

in that tweet, she says that new relief should not include any money for banks, which is a criticism that the cares act included some measures that benefited large financial firms (and the american/world economy).

when i say misleading i do not mean confusing, i mean that her intention is to mislead readers of the tweet.  she wants to be seen as railing against wall street, a populist position many of her supporters endorse, when the cares act provided no money directly to sifi institutions and only provided ancillary benefits as a product of introducing important safeguards (and as intermediaries for the loans programs).

if she's not talking out of both sides of her mouth and actually does want to remove those safeguards, please show me her tweet cheerleading the trump admin's move to deprive the biden administration of them.

There's a very clear distinction there.

Not a new take, sexualization when (sometimes) talking about AOC is kinda weird in its overtness.

Definitely, I don't get it either, it's not like she's the only young legislator on capital hill.

also, she is the more famous/powerful one so if they hyper sexualize her it also takes away from her legitimacy. At least in their foggy, married the first girl they kissed brains.

We're venturing into creepy territory but I'd think a lot of the people who sexualize AOC would find Tulsi, Elise Stefanik, Krysten Sinema, Jaime Beutler, Kathy Rogers, and Kansas' own Lynn Jenkins attractive. I think it goes beyond attraction, she is being fetishized.

there is definitely a lot to the fact that they hate her ideologically, she is obviously conventionally good looking, but the fact that she is in the same room as nancy pelosi or steny hoyer helps quite a bit.
