Full Caucus Set to Vote After Key Panel Picks Pelosi-Backed Dem Over AOC for Oversight Spot | Common Dreams

Rep. Gerry Connolly narrowly bested Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a secret-ballot vote Monday for the ranking spot on the House Oversight Committee in the upcoming Congress—but the New York progressive still has a shot to secure the role in a full Democratic caucus vote on Tuesday.

Rep. Ro Khanna said that “many” in the House Democratic caucus, including himself, will back Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Tuesday’s vote.

    It is a binary choice on election day, and even if it you believe in third party viability on principle Stein is still a fascist stooge.

      Just curious - does compromising/working with fascists make you a fascist stooge even when you’re a liberal democrat?

      Just want to make sure we’re not operating on any double standards

        Nah, just a collaborator. Biden, for example, got to be president, which at least let him stop the fascist invasion of Ukraine.

        Stooges are like collaborators only they’re a complete joke that can’t even win a single House seat, and would let both Ukraine and Palestine be genocide by dictators.

          stop the fascist invasion of Ukraine.

          Lol, did he, though? And by the same metric did he also ‘stop’ the fascist invasion of Palestine?

          and would let both Ukraine and Palestine be genocide by dictators.

          Weird how those are still happening then.
