Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram after the Department of Homeland Security suggested they may pursue arrests of three Democratic lawmakers who partook in a protest outside of an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Rob Menendez (D-NJ) and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) all attended the protest.

      They are legit, but I don’t think they are very different. I see their rallies all over the USA, but they lack the planning, and if they do have a plan, they are failing to communicate it to the people. Also, Sanders is Independent, AFAIK.

        They’re better than other democrats I’ve seen but it’s clear that Democrats will not fix this. Democrats have not only been complicit, but many are actively supporting Trump. Another impeachment attempt is a waste of effort.

        The dems are appropriating and sucking energy away from protests so they can try to get elected. We do not have the time to wait around for an election. Project 2025 will be complete by then.

          many of them are DINOS, because they wouldve never been elected otherwise if they had an R to thier name. they represent the republicans before they went Alt-right in the 80s-90s. at best its center right for most of the Dems, thats why there is no left in the us, even some D voters have expressed quite a few conservative beliefs.
