You run through a number of examples, a mixture of sort of protest votes where her vote would have

similar something meaningful, even if it would have changed outcomes. And then other instances where

if the left, her included were to band it together, even a very small block of squad members,

there could have been different conceivable outcomes. And I think this list of things, including

this $15 minimum wage fight, are so crucial to your argument and to the argument that there is

just happened to run remarks on her account. She had only speaking in Washington with that happens.

It's because there's been a coordinated effort by the staff of the Congressperson to get that

Joe Manchin's in the Senate, so nothing can be done, nothing can be accomplished. But that is

precisely the sort of thing where you need to fight for no other reason, then to sort of establish
