“We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don’t want to be a black voice. We don’t need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don’t want to be a queer voice.” (Ayanna Pressley)
Let's be clear here, this is all about the left bullying people to be exactly what they want them to be and shaming anyone who dares to think differently. Like every totalitarian state (that starts with words like socialism), the idea is to crush out any dissent.
Generally speaking this sort of rhetoric has been a bit more subtle than just stepping up and demanding that everyone be lockstep (or should we say goose step) with those who see themselves as the enlightened. But hey, in the mind of someone like Pressley, I am sure she sees everything she does as just and right.
The Ocasio-Cortez and her "squad" as it's been deemed, see themselves as sort of their own little Social Justice team, hell bent on pushing their own little version of unrealistic populist liberal policies that continue to pull the entire Democratic party left. It's difficult to resist, when you are attempting to cater to a generation of people who have no clue how the real world actually works.
The bigger problem for AOC and her squad isn't that they will continue to push a cause that is unrealistic and damaging to their party. The bigger problem is someday they might actually find themselves making actual decisions, and the country will have to try to deal with the consequences of the ridiculousness of it all. In other words, eventually they may become the dog that actually catches the car he is chasing, and won't have a clue what to do with it when they do.

Sounds racist to me.
that's because it IS racist.
identity politics requires racism, classism, all of the phobias surrounding gender, etc..
every bit of it is intended to pit one group against another. it's the politics of envy and the politics of fostering hatred between different groups. it's divisive, and really only serves those who preach it from the top of it's pecking order.
we have 0linsky and his merry band of fucking assholes to thank for much of it, and those who would preach that they would like to see it end are liars because it is their lifeblood and reason for being.
we actually have charlatans like shaun king and rachel dolezal pretending to be black for fuck's sake, just so they can cash in on all the divisiveness and hatred.
if you're calling for the payment of reparations to people who never WERE salves paid for by people who never OWNED slaves, then you are by definition, a fucking racist stoking the flames of racial hatred.
The Odd Squad are all Racist.
The champion Socialism.
TRUMP "Tricked" them into exposing themselves.
Roger, because we care.
"If this is really true about roger what's tragic is the large amount of time he spent here with his TDS while he obviously was ignoring severe personal problems he could actually control or at least address.
Wishing he gets help and things work out.
Do wonder what happened to all that income he used to post about, Hopefully it's real and this is a temporary setback. Else he will get to see first hand the results of the policies he is advocating."
you have to love it.
AOC has a 22% approval rating, and she's recognized by 74% of Americans.
omar has an approval rating of 9% and is recognized by 54% of Americans.
these two dumb fucks truly are the face of the democrat party. and pelosi must be curled up on the floor in her office in front of the liquor cabinet.
The bet here is most of the country, and not just the Republicans, are very, very tired of the race card being played ad nauseam — to such an extent that one is not allowed to call out demagogues for anti-American rhetoric simply because they might be people of color.
And the Democrats have cried wolf far too often where Trump the Supposed Racist is concerned. Trump actually has a higher approval rating among black voters than any Republican president in memory.
So here’s a parting question: how many of those black voters will be swayed by this latest round of Trump the Racist pleadings when the evidence for it is his treatment of Ilhan Omar? Put another way, how many black voters do you really think are itching to line up behind Omar as the avatar for black people in America?
Or, if you like, AOC as the avatar for Hispanic voters?
Because that’s what this Trump the Racist meme amounts to.
Again, none of this bothers the president in the least little bit. He is getting everything he wants out of this imbroglio — and paying absolutely nothing for it.
That, friends, is how political 3D chess is played.

Rat - the greatest thing about this is that Trump got Pelosi and other Democrats to now "defend" the "Squad" against charges that they are anti-American.
Seriously, if Ilhan Omar and Rashia Tlaib are not Anti-American then there is no such thing as Anti-American. Pressley is just a caricature of every race baiter who ever existed. AOC is the leader because she appears to have the largest collection of videos where she dances.

i know it's early, but if this trend holds 2020 is shaping up to be the most epic political slaughter of democrats in our lifetime.
how in the ever loving fuck does someone defend these shitstains? i know it's pelosi's job to keep the caucus together and to defend her members from criticism, but at what point do you not drag these four idiots into a room, dress them down, strip them of ALL committee seats, and publicly denounce them and their rhetoric.
the GOP did as much steve king on the basis of a ny times story that was complete bullshit.
Sean Davis on Twitter:
"Imagine being a 'conservative' who spent all day sanctimoniously defending Ilhan Omar's virtue and courage and contributions to American democracy, only to have her hold a press conference where she refused to denounce Al Qaeda and Islamic terrorism."
911 terrorist attacks are just "Some People" to illhan omar .
