Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said President Joe Biden negotiating with Republicans on infrastructure is “setting the planet on fire” and “dismantling voting rights.”
“Pres. Biden & Senate Dems should take a step back and ask themselves if playing patty-cake w GOP Senators is really worth the dismantling of people’s voting rights, setting the planet on fire, allowing massive corporations and the wealthy to not pay their fair share of taxes, etc,” she tweeted.

Meanwhile, Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) admitted Tuesday during a town hall that Biden’s expensive infrastructure proposal focuses on climate change and other items unrelated to building roads, tunnels, and bridges.
It is estimated the proposal’s “clean energy transition” could endanger up to 142,000 jobs at risk and increase energy costs by up to $292 per month.
On June 4, Biden balked at an offer from Senate Republicans to increase the spending in their proposed infrastructure bill to nearly a trillion dollars but which has no corporate tax increases, a component Biden wants to appease the Democrat party’s far-left base.
Biden, therefore, put the negotiations on the back-burner while he tours Europe.
USA Today reported June 8 that “Biden cut off negotiations Tuesday for a bipartisan deal on infrastructure with a group of six Senate Republicans, shifting his focus to a coalition of moderate senators from both parties to keep hopes alive for a compromise.”

I was really offended by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s comment on voter rights. The Democrats won the last election with voter fraud which is hardly an implementation of voter rights. In addition, if the climate change (Infrastructure) legislation were to be put to a popular vote, it is all but certain that it would fail. Yet, it is going to become law.
I will now comment just on the realities of our political process. The Senate has an even 50 – 50 split of Democrats and Republicans with Vice President Harris able to vote to break a tie. To the naïve, it would seem that the Democrats could pass anything that they wanted. That isn’t true. For issues that the Republicans really want to stop the need is for Democrats to have 60 voters to end a filibuster. Obama had more than 50 votes for his climate change bill be he didn’t have 60. Congress doesn’t have the filibuster but the Democrats only have a majority by 6 votes. Often Democrats don’t follow the party line because the legislation is bad for the particular area that they represent and this is particularly true if they are considered at risk for the next election. So, to get the climate change (Infrastructure) legislation passed, the Democrats have to work with the Republicans. Alexandria Cortez’s has been part of the political system for two years and she doesn’t even understand how it works. Perhaps this low mental ability explains her embracing socialism and the climate change fraud.
AOC is so dumb people have quit telling Blond Jokes
I’m pretty sure that dismantling US voter rights has already been accomplished…
Stop calling yourself Democrats if you don’t really support democracy.
Beware of Attila the Hen
Even as we are now consumed with the obsession of saving the planet, we have to ask ourselves whether this planet of the AOCs is worth saving.
Maybe just let it burn.
Burn baby burn.
