I can't speak to twitter because I'm not on it but #Forcethevote was a plan. When defending heself against #Forcethevote AOC floated she might do something similar to fight for $15 minimum wage. There's another one she just didn't bother following thru on her previous words.
I am talking about Force The Vote.
Yeah I hope so, not saying they got to do what Dore or any media person tells them to do but the longer they don't stand up to Democratic leadership the more people will criticize them. You can't run for Congress on some "All Democrats Are Not the Same" and then vote like a typical Democrat the entire time. The criticism is inevitable.
I agree with that. You have to use your power strategically. Some of the loonies on Rose Twitter and Jimmy Dore wanted them to use it to harm people when they needed money.
Say they won't vote for something unless (insert demand). Other members of Congress do it and it works sometimes.
House of Representatives like AOC vote on federal laws not local ones.
i'm talkin about localized pork like when Nancy puts in some shyt about funding for a museum and other BS
Isn't more the parliamentarian and the Senate insisting on following her advice stopping it in the Senate?

Quickest way to shut up Jimmy Dore types is to stand up to Democratic leadership. Something he thinks she will never do and something Cori Bush has admitted the Squad has never talked about doing in the future. Until then . . .
At least dare them to vote no for a raise of minimum wage during a worldwide pandemic. It's good politics vs those out of line Senators.
The House already passed the $15 minimum wage, what will likely pass right now will be a bill to take it to 10/11 right now. Force the vote is a vanity campaign there is not the level of support needed for M4A.
