elijahfan 27,562 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Props to her for staying true to her opinions, but I'm not sure what she thinks she's achieved by doing this... People listen to her, and for good reason: endorsing Biden could've helped. I'm not sure people are clever enough to understand the subtlety here... I mean, no disrespect to Americans, but you guys elected Trump the last time, so.... Let's just CLEARLY tell people to vote for Biden, please, thank you.

NathanC 938 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 This is procedural, I do wish some of you would wiki or google before posting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillieGOAT 5,272 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Change the title, it’s misleading people! The runner up is always nominated during the convention as a sign of respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronSpears 2,157 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 It felt weird when she said Bernie, but I admit I don't know much about the roll call stuff lmao. AOC will be torn down by everyone anyway as she always is for whatever reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The election was rigged by Russia and also he LOST the popular vote by over 3 million (which means if we went by the actual votes and not the electoral college he would have lost by over 3 million votes.) The electoral college is dated and needs to be done away with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let’s make sure the gap is big enough this time around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenWonder 4,778 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I so want to like her, but she often makes it difficult. This is the time to rally around the nominee (as Bernie eloquently let us know in his brilliant speech on Monday evening), not act like a brat. Our enemy is Trump. Not each other.

You look stupid. She was asked by the DNC to second the nomination for Bernie. It is PROCEDURAL because Bernie EARNED hundreds of delegates during the primary based on real people voting for him like me. He was entitled to that moment. AOC already formally endorsed both Biden and Kamala. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I personally don't think one can surmise whether I look stupid based on that particular pic. But I digress. Second, I get how the roll call process works. As much as YOU SHOUT WORDS YOU ASSUME ARE CATCH PHRASES in a weak attempt to shame me (I guess? Not sure why you shouted tbh), my point still stands. AOC chose to come across petty and a bit tone deaf. At least to me. I like many of her ideas and freshness, but sometimes her execution leaves me wanting more. Or less, depending on her delivery! Just my opine. Third, feel free to disagree with me. I relish all discourse. What I can't get behind is ad hominem attacks that have nothing to do with my point. But you seem like a smart guy. You'll get it. Eventually. Have a great day and vote blue up and down the ticket! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you know what she did at the 2008 convention? She asked permission to suspend rules so that she may send all of her delegates to Obama in a sign of unity.
