See post 90. Until I see actual real documentaion of that quote, I remain seriously unconvinced it is real.

yes, if you look at multiple other posts I made, the 'quote' does NOT happen in any party of that entire 31 minutes

Moderates aren't the ones saying they're not going to vote for biden bc they want more progressive policies

I was hoping for more. But it's better than Nina Turner's "half a bowl of shit" comment.

Excellent. I feel like she's really grown into her role, and will be able to achieve great things.

If Teh Oligarchs want a right-wing government, why did they support Biden? Doesn't make sense.

Yep, I also think Progressive values are the core of Democratic party values....

Yes they are. Goals are same, not about values/morals but reality of legislature.

One thing you find about Democracy is that there is never a candidate that stands for everything you do.

AOC has not insulted Biden. She has not damned him with faint praise, either. What's happened, I think...

That 'quote' has zero documenation that it is real. See my multiple posts on this thread on the subject.

The quote is completely undocumented, and quite possibly invented by a person making a meme with

She didn't go into that. Maybe she figures the fact that she supports him is enough.

You're the one who indicated you agreed with her. What exactly are you agreeing to?

I didn't indicate it. I fucking said it. I know what values I have that Joe doesn't share

It's amazing. AOC comes out in supoprt of Biden, and we have DUers criticizing her for it.

Let's hope that all Progressive Democrats are as smart as AOC & get out and vote for Biden.

There is NO documentation info in that meme whatsoever. No time, date, or place she said it. Anyone could make it up.

Unless the OP can provide documentation that proves that is not a fake quote, this OP should be taken down.

yes, I already discussed that tweet in my last reply, and again, there is NO documentation in that tweet whatsoever

Until proven otherwise it is a suspect and likely false quote. If she said policies, then zero controversies, BUT

As I mentioned, it is a good paraphrase of her stance if not a direct quote....
Think. Again.
Apr 20
#138
It is not presented as a paraphrase, and also it uses loaded language (values) that incites division as it paints
Celerity
Apr 20
#139
it doesn't help, a random word used in entirely different setting is not proof in the slightest that the quote is real

I am an idea person as well. But I also adhere to factual groundings and documentation for claims.

Do not forget that intim the OP edited it, is was presented for hours as an exact quote.

Yes, I watched the whole thing (as I have stated already) and the quote is NOT in it at all, she did not say those words

The quote is very much unproven, and uses loaded language (the 'values' part) This thread is very divisive based off

I think it is pretty problematic to take an entirely undocumented meme and then present is as a quote, a quote

that is not germane at all to my (fully documented at this point) issues with the OP

you have yet to show the slightest proof the quote is real, plus you are glossing over the loaded language
Celerity

No it is not, and the onus to prove the quote (which has divisive wording) is real is on you. You made the OP, not me.
