[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title should be Go Away Bernie, Go Away AOC

Need more centrist leaders in the party to get it back.  Going far left with these fools will alienate even more voters and Dems will lose even worse next election.  [/quote]

I'll bite.  What SPECIFICALLY AND EXACTLY that you think they are saying is "too far left" and "alienating"?

Provide recent, specific and relevant citations.

Deliver, or screw off.  I mean, seriously. [/quote]

AOC has vocally supported federal protections for gender-affirming care, calling for its inclusion in any universal healthcare plan during a December 2024 livestream, while condemning state bans on transgender youth healthcare as "cruel and unscientific." Sanders, in a January 2025 Senate speech, backed expanding Medicare to cover all gender-affirming treatments, framing it as a matter of equity and bodily autonomy. Also both have tied racial justice to their economic agenda. In November 2024, AOC endorsed the "Breathe Act", pushing to defund police and redirect resources to Black communities for mental health and housing, while Sanders, at a March 2025 Las Vegas rally, called for ending cash bail and decriminalizing nonviolent offenses to address systemic racism, explicitly linking these reforms to dismantling "oppressive structures" impacting Black lives. Their rhetoric and policy proposals reflect a far-left stance prioritizing systemic upheaval over moderation.

This is the hill you want to die on? I’m more concerned about the cost of living and social security. Gender affirming care is rich people’s problems.[/quote]
+1 honestly,  I'm not left wing at all (Independent former R), but gender affirming care is like #1,000,000 on the things to worry about.  However, I will say that AOC focusing on this is also a waste of time.  This impacts like .001% of the population.  It's great that they stand up and have compassion for the marginalized, but really, this is not something to focus on, for AOC or for the general public.

Even so, if she and Bernie are the only Dems pushing against Trump and doing townhalls, then yea, I support that.[/quote]
