Squad goals: Ocasio-Cortez warns Biden patience is wearing thin
|
"Wahh! I'm 32 and the world has not been remade according to my specifications. I shall move to another planet and tend bar there."
[Guardian]The underlying challenge for Biden is how to keep together an unwieldy Democratic coalition that encompasses conservative senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia — which is Donald Trump country — and senator Bernie Sanders, a self-declared democratic socialist from Vermont, who this week drafted a $6trn infrastructure package.
Oh come on, let's just admit that Bernie is a Commmunist and cut out the verbal gymnastics.
Then there is the squad,
| ...the Guardian isn’t to know, being English and all, but it’s The Squad, because they’re just that kewl or something... |
the left-leaning group of House members that now consists of seven people of color.
| I missed the additions — are they budding? |
The more that Manchin digs in his heels against ambitious legislation, the more restive the squad is likely to become, raising difficult questions over whether Biden is applying sufficient pressure to bring the doubters on board.
I wonder how well Antifa would do in West Virginia.
Yvette Simpson, chief executive of the progressive organization Democracy for America, said: "Right now people are really getting frustrated because it’s been six months and we don’t see Joe Biden engaging in the way that he should to push for more support. In fact, he’s negotiating against us and what Democrats want.
Squad members including Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib sharply criticized Israel for its recent bombing of Gaza and challenged the Biden administration’s unwavering support for the country. And when Harris told Guatemalans, "Do not come" to the US, Ocasio-Cortez called the comment "disappointing" and noted that it is legal to seek asylum.
Is there anyone who likes Harris? I mean other than Willie Brown.
Ocasio-Cortez has also been pushing Biden to face up to the fact that bipartisanship with a radicalized Republican party is a doomed enterprise.
