I thought she was getting caught up in her own hype for a minute as well but when she endorsed Bernie AFTER his health scare during the primary she showed me she's a real one.
If you are a Dem in Congress being confrontational with your peers on a 24 hour basis is just bad strategy. You have to run game on these cornballs and that means sometimes acting like you are on the team. Flip the script when it is most advantageous to you and your cause. AOC knows better when that is since she is actually in Congress compared to Jimmy Dore.
Jimmy's idea isn't terrible or anything but it is still HIS idea. AOC is not obligated to follow it, especially since he has been bombing her for months and mostly over a petty reason, she hasn't done his show since she got elected. While that's corny to lose all objectivity because you're mad about it is even worse. Jimmy has also been lying about her vote for the CARES act, he is claiming she lied and voted for it when she says she didn't and I believe third parties have confirmed she is being honest. So yeah, Jimmy has alterior motives with this suggestion he is putting AOC on the spot trying to get her to put Pelosi on the spot. It's a great scenario for him, it plays into his brand. But despite his alterior motives he is right this is a good issue to take a stand on during a pandemic. Forwarding the need of free healthcare during a pandemic is worthy of discussion. So I see this as worthwhile topic to be discussed publicly, I'm siding with AOC but Jimmy also has a worthwhile point.

Nah Jimmy is right. He's basically asking her to do anything, literally anything that can move us closer to our goals. I'm tired of this shyt man. These motherfukkers are carcetting us bro. Omar is funelling campaign money and shyt. They're whispering sweet nothings to us like the main Democrats.

Also remember when aoc abandoned bernie cause he went on joe rogan. :francis:

She has to do it right now? Jimmy ain't her boss. If someone who has been shytting on you and bombing you for months then commands you to do something would you do it? I wouldn't just out of spite. We not friends B, don't be asking me for shyt for real.

That's how I feel.

On the one hand, it'll fail, and everybody knows it'll fail, but if you were really dead set on M4A, all this other shyt sounds like juelzing. :yeshrug:

Also, I know this will be super controversial, but I have been very critical of the way the left purposely and disingenuously conflates 'Medicare for all' with 'universal healthcare' and overstates its true popularity, or just flat out lies about it. I feel like part of the reason some of these progressives are too shook to force the vote is because they know they'll get exposed, and it won't be entirely because the establishment is "beholden to the wills of the private insurance companies" or "they just don't want you to have healthcare in the middle of a pandemic."

This is the shyt I said would happen when they tanked Elizabeth Warren and even Kamala's own healthcare plans.
