I don't get the "You vote alone" comment. They're not willing to vote as a block and exert the power that comes from that?

Republicans don't have a problem voting as a block. They never "vote alone". That should illustrate the problem perfectly. Now is it lack of ability to vote as a block, or a bit of plausible deniability?

I thought that was the point of a “squad”?

I get "you vote to represent your constituents" ... but they have a unified agenda ACROSS districts. that's the point! I say this to my @RepPressley @AyannaPressley. Please. *bloc* and #solidarity thinking. everything is on the line. @CoriBush @vanguard_pod

Ugh I don’t either. It’s so disappointing to see those you thought would be fighters withering and caving to the system
I'm beyond disappointed now

This reminds me of Warrens, " I'm just a player in the game" comment. WTF happens to "progressives" when they get to DC?
Notice how they weren't "voting alone" when they just *had* to vote for Pelosi's speakership. Funny that whenever they have to fall in line, it's always to their party's benefit, even when their constituents were demanding they do as they promised. Utter salad-tossing nonsense.
All she's saying is that she can't speak for all the progressives in Congress. She can speak for herself but not everyone else
