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?

Lack of leadership. Who are the senior members of this caucus. They need to be held accountable

Perhaps @AyannaPressley is not the one she should be staking her philosophy on. Perhaps she ALREADY had TWO #ForceTheVote opportunities that she ALREADY forfeited on and she is not being honest. Her district, as it were, I am willing to bet, want a $15/hour minimum wage and #M4A.

Its b.s. Federal Government is there to do the nations business. They represent districts to make sure everyone benefits. State legislature is for local issues.
Come on Marianne. You’re a smart person. You get it. The squad doesn’t want to enact progressive policies any more than Pelosi or Manchin or Mitch McConnell do. Controlled opposition.

They vote alone along party with the rest of the establishment democrats. Alone has never been more inclusive for the corrupt...

There is quite literally no point in calling them “the SQUAD” If they aren’t going to vote as a block & act in the interest of the base that sent them. That was the whole point of sending more of them there. Do they think it was just a branding exercise? Wtaf lol

Translation: some of us aren’t who the public thinks we are. Some of us are trying to pull off an Obama 2.0 by fooling the public with platitudes all the while backing away from supporting policies that would shift power/resources from our donors to the plant, vulnerable & poor.

that is when she should have probably told Ayanna, no fam, these policies will help ALL of our communities, ALL of our constituents. These should be our SHARED GOALS and we should ALL work together to get them. But hey, they're the ones in power, what do I know.....

Correct. Only conservatives are willing to use their vote to get what they want. Manchin said that about himself

It shows you that these ppl don’t do anything as a actual squad. They have no strategy except keeping their seats and going along with their party. They are worthless. Waiting for any change to come from them it’s a waste of time.
