Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has “been with the Republicans” since Congress returned, after the Michigan Democrat endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the midterms.

“She’s been with the Republicans ever since she’s come back. So she’s been on the Republican side of the aisle,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show” that aired Thursday.

“This is just the epitome of a certain kind of transactional politics,” she added. “And it’s really sad.”

    “This is a great place for a political discussion because everyone agrees with me!”

    See? That kind of bad faith both-sides bullshit works both ways.

    And it proves the point being made

      Except this is literally what they’re saying. They’re saying Lemmy is bad for political discussion and their exhibit A is that people disagree with them about this one thing. They might have more substantial reasons but those are not written in their reply. There’s nothing there for a neutral party to look at and think “this person is right.” Also for the record people here don’t always (or even most of the time) agree with me.

        You’re trying to argue that a single comment should be used to characterize all of Lemmy, just because it’s convenient for your particular position right now, and you’re arguing that to the wrong person.

        Because I’m not an idiot.

          I legitimately have no idea what you’re talking about. Puts on asshole hat you might not be an idiot, but you might want to work on your reading comprehension.

            If that were true, you would’ve walked away long ago. But the fact that you’re still here, trolling, proves that you’re engaged purely in bad faith in order to continue arguing with me for no other reason then, I suppose I hurt your feelings?

            Grow up, get over it, and move the fuck on.
