      It’s right there in the article.

      We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

        That is what Democrats have always done. AOC endorsed these people. This is not a surprise to anyone who paid attention the last 20 years.

          You’re blaming the wrong person, but it has reached the point where people need to seriously consider what the point of the Democratic Party is if they won’t even offer a token resistance.

            AOC is there to offer the token resistance. The democrats are doing what they have always done; capitulate to the right because they too are bought and paid for by Republican donors.
