So a corrupt politician not keeping a Promises, what are the odds.

Poor snowflake, did I make you cry and pee your panties. Ask mom to come down to the basement and change them.

Is that why the squad let the spending bill pass when they had the power to stop it? "They did it because it was a good bill. They totes aren't corrupt guys!" - You

aoc is a puppet, a purposefully made 'icon'

susan.. is still a person

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (27 children)

AOC and the "Squad" are among the few who are not puppets and who are actively trying to help the 99%

They bend the knee just as fast as the rest of the Dems....what have they actually done besides tweet, retweet, and virtue signal?

[–]AcceleratedWallops 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (21 children)

They propose legislation and vote on it. That's all they can do as one individual of 435. And then they try to raise awareness of issues.

Unless you are advocating for AOC to hostilely take over the House, I'm not sure what you want from her?

      WHAT!?

      When did this happen? How come no one told me? Is this new or have I been low tier all along? Perhaps I should update the graphic I made with M7 or update the FAQ again. I hope sarcasm isn't low too. /s

      Maybe add that to the sidebox.

      I feel like someone forced a stifling muzzle mask on me.

      [–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (9 children)

      We have a conflict of opinion.

      I've been subjectively judged low tier and my freedom of expression has been muzzled.

      I won't just lay down quietly unless /u/d3rr tells me to.

        So take off the muzzle or at least consult with your co-mods (to vote on it or something) before making muting decisions to an important SaidIt sub. And/or add some guides or rules or notes in the sidebar.

        I wonder if Sarandon has taken a vow of poverty and given all her money to either the U.S. government or to charitable causes that help people with medical costs, or, if she just wants other people to do that.

        [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (44 children)

        This is disinformation.

        Sarandon is absolutely NOT "against" Ocasio-Cortez, but is instead trying to put pressure on the "Squad" and especially AOC, to focus more on the "medicare for all" campaign, knowning full well that this is but one among several important forms of Democrat legislation in play. Serandon says, "we still have faith in you...."

        The article links to the quotation (report), which is:

        I’m here to say to the Squad, and especially AOC, who, you know, did make a lot of promises, that we still have faith in you and we would like to see if you have a better plan than we’ve been able to see, please share it

              Your flair is 'Pirate Party', genius. And yes, these tiny parties are helping the 1% fuck over the 99%. It's bloody obvious. Choose any flair you'd like, however. Also keep in mind that one of the first things a shill will do is to label others as shills, which you do in 99% of your many responses to me. Ergo, seems you're a shill for your various so-called "non-establishment" causes, which however help the 1% at the expense of the 99%, by getting the 99% to fight over facts, science, disinformation and nonsense. It's evil.

              And as usual, I will not tolerate your constant bullying. Bullies should NEVER be tolerated. Follow Saidit's rules/guidelines, and don't expect that anyone should ever tolerate your bullying. It's that simple.

                I think you're a bit over the top in what you believe bro but I will agree with you that socks is a total shill. I wonder who is paying him.

                You still don't understand. For the 3rd time in this thread (not to mention almost every other response from you for months), you have dragged down the discussion with your bullying. As I said:

                You drag down the debate in every thread I see. You are just a walking MSM talking point. It's hard on the eyes.

                Socks is a resident mainstream narrative shill. They constantly harp about people "dragging down" debate, yet they never debate anything. They only defend the msm/cia talking points and dismiss ANYTHING that even slightly opposes or challenges that narrative. All while hiding behind their mantra of false populism. "I stand to help the 99%! You are helping the 1%!. They help the 1% oppress the 99%!” If your " squad" is such a force for populist action why did they let the eviction moratorium expire? The two party paradigm, right vs left model is false and everybody knows it. No one who works for the government at the federal level could ever be a populist as the system is so corrupt that it would never allow it. Sock is a mouthy, repetitive shill, who's reddit and saidit comment history back up.

                Your three responses to me are repeatedly dragging down the discussion, for no obvious reason. Seems you created your (alt?) account 19 days ago and you have no interest in following the site rules/guidelines. Hopefully you have better things to do.

                [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

                I'm just calling a spade a spade man. Your interactions with people here is 100% corporate. You stink. I'm elevating the pyramid of debate by calling out your fake ass.

                As to my acc age. It has nothing at all to do with the veracity of my point that you are a corporate shill.

                Stop lying and I'll stop calling out your bullshit - which as a snowflake you consider "bullying", instead of the critical analysis and counter-propaganda that it is.

                [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

                People who disagree with you aren't lying, nor are they shills, nor hypocrites, nor snowflakes, nor do they lack critical thinking skills. Referring to them as such is a form of bullying, as if these people appear to be some sort of threat to you. It's inappropriate and against the site's rules/guidelines. As a mod, I should warn you, again, that this is the 4th time that you've insisted on insulting me, repeatedly dragging down the discussion:

                Follow Saidit's rules/guidelines, and don't expect that anyone should ever tolerate your bullying. It's that simple.

                  Depends on your district.

                  If for example you are in Marjorie Taylor Greene's district, not only vote for anything or anyone who is electable, ask everyone you know to do it.

                  I'd also argue that 99% of the politicians currently in office should be voted out, replaced with new people. This cannot be done if votes are wasted on unelectable people.

                  Agreed. So why do you support them and their corrupt rigged system?

                  This cannot be done if votes are wasted on unelectable people.

                  IFIFY:
                  This cannot be done within their wasteful murderous corrupt rigged system of (s)elected puppets.

                  Thanks for the support!

                  I want freedom of expression and not to be threatened or oppressed by mods or socks.

                  If we're going to have it out, let it be in the public square on even footing.

                  If folks overwhelmingly tell me to shut the fuck up, I will comply.

                  Folks may bitch about me bitching at socks, but I suspect they all know socks is the source and origin that needs to be dealt with first and foremost. Solving socks, solves my noise.

                  [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

                  This cannot be done because they will shove more corrupted candidates at you. You will buy into their propaganda and shilling concerning these candidates, because you are a lemon, and look at that, back at square one. Yes, 99% of the politicians shouldn't be there. You are impotent if you think voting will do jack of all shit. It's pay to play, and only wicked liars can keep paying in that court.

                  Unless we are talking about tiny local politics, that can be affected by grassroot movements. However, once those local politicians who actually represent their people start going off the rails, becoming a true defender of peace and liberty, becoming a dissident, well, they get run out.

                  It does not depend on your district. It depends on your love for the corrupted systyem. Don't love the system? Vote third party or withhold your precious vote from those scummy bastards. Love the system? Vote for the pay-to-play dickholes at the Republican and Democratic parties.

                  This is the 5th time that you've insisted on insulting me, repeatedly dragging down the discussion:

                      Again, you're subjectively misjudging me. This is not personal - this is about socks' ongoing attacks on SaidIt. I've not called socks names - I've used descriptive words that categorize socks' divisive disinfo activity and I've countered their arguments, as clearly as I can.

                      I'm very familiar with SaidIt's terms. Are you?

                      If a person is caught repeatedly dragging discussion in a downward direction on the Pyramid of Debate, they will be removed. If a person is caught repeatedly dragging the quality of discourse in an upward direction, they're highly valued!

                      Feel free to go through socks comments and my comments, compare the reactions to our comments, and count them up. You tell me who's dragging down discussions, repeatedly, perpetually.

                      socks' actions are far worse for SaidIt than I could ever be. /s/AskSaidIt or make a /s/SaidItSurveys on it if you like, or as I said, let /u/d3rr be the judge. Defending socks smears you by association. I don't recommend you do it too much.
