Ridiculous. I cannot believe a US Representative actually suggested such a stupid idea.

I can. She's exactly who those people want representing them. We don't take her seriously at our own risk.
SaggyFrontButt2 t1_j9s99mf wrote
She’s our version of AOC. No sane person on the right is calling for this
ExpensiveSwordfish65 t1_j9sa6nj wrote
I'd hesitate to call her our AOC. AOC hasn't ever to my knowledge called for violence, or denigrated people because of who they are. If I'm wrong I'm happy to see a link.
But comparing them only provides legitimacy to theocratic fascist domestic terrorist right.

Keep telling yourself that. I never saw more political violence in my life than in May 2020 when leftists took the streets and burned/looted everything in sight (I live in Chicago)-

Did you even read that article? She was talking about Palestinians.

Calling for any group to be violent/riot is no excuse. Let alone Palestinians

Most of human history disagrees with you.

Ahahahahaha. You mention being in the chaos of Chicago riots and get downvoted by people tucked away watching hand-picked info on their carefully curated feeds and told that your ears and eyes are lying to you 😂😂😂.

Leftists are special breed, truly awful

Honestly, the way you got attacked shines a light on things that I really didn’t believe were a thing. I guess it just seems weird that people would dismiss a “witness” and not supply a reason. It was like they just tried to shut you down with downvotes. Wheird..

What leftist politician has supported or even said that was fine to the degree the GOP did on Jan 6.
SaggyFrontButt2 t1_j9tg1io wrote
Ah yes, Jan 6th doesn’t even come close to all the violent rioting and burning of our cities done by leftist whiners in the summer of 2020
arvada14 t1_j9vnerm wrote
So you can't name one? That's the difference between the Parties. Also, random looters burning cities get attributes to the left? How many of those idiots even vote.
On the otherhand you can bet every person on Jan 6 voted for trump.

You don't think there's a difference between those with nothing living in destitution pushing back on the machine that forced them there compared to calling for dissolution of the union? One of these groups is fairly marginalized, the other seems... to want to enshrine a theocratic form of government with even more guns to harm the people they don't like? Just comparing the rhetoric between AOC and MTG.
Like if you don't appreciate the violence of the article you linked, I guess I can get that (unite the right violence aside), but it seems a false equivalence to me.

This is an explanation of why they riots happened not a justification for them. Republicans have denied that Jan 6 was even a serious Event. Theyve Held up people like ashley babbit as heroes.

Fuck off.
One wants healthcare and a livable wage and one wants civil war and thinks Jewish space lasers are starting fires.
Miss me with the false equivalence.
SaggyFrontButt2 t1_j9sd3yk wrote
Great, an r/politics poster. No one is also saying she doesn’t want affordable healthcare or a living wage. Not that AOC does anything productive to further either issue.
ThePanoptic t1_j9slksh wrote
AOC is one of hundreds of representatives, she can not do it alone, but her voting record shows that she will vote for these issues every time.
All we can expect of our representatives is to vote in our favor and she does.
Saying “she hasn’t done anything” make you sound as dumb as a rock.
“Why hasn’t the one representing out of 435 fix our healthcare system” it’s because there are inbred republicans on the other side of the isle.
