"In Congress, the most brutal battles are internal. House Democratic colleagues of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent her a chilly message yesterday when she lost 46-13 to a fellow New Yorker, Rep. Kathleen Rice, in a secret ballot for a seat on the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee -- I'm told Ocasio-Cortez lost the vote by the House Democratic Steering Committee because she didn't personally ask for enough votes -- One member told me Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "doesn't have enough relationships. She needs to learn from this."
Now I was told that AOC not only controls the House and tells Pelosi want to do; but she basically controls Biden's entire administration --- which doesn't explain why she couldn't even get a seat on the Energy committee...That Kathleen Rice chick must be some super radical communist Marxist buddist or something to get more votes than AOC...
--- OR ---
Republicans are full of shit and the Dem establishment isn't some radical socialist party controlled by AOC like they keep claiming --- but instead, they are just as committed to the corporate status quo as Republicans are....Almost that is...Democrats will at least ask corporate power for a formal date first before they put out -- Republicans will blow corporate power in the alley by a dumpster.....
