It’s time to move forward, rebuild infrastructure and drawdown carbon, lower the age of Medicare and extend it to cover vision & dental, expand childcare and housing accessibility, and serve the American people. That is bipartisan too, with 2 party support among the electorate. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Wow, who could have possibly predicted that Senate Republicans were wasting months of a Dem majority’s precious time negotiating in bad faith 😱 just to suddenly renege on a bipartisan agreement w/ new, mercurial demands 😱 after doing exactly the same w the Jan 6th commission 😱 — PolitiTweet.org

This is not to say that any/all bipartisan deals are bad but it’s to ask people to actually read what’s inside them instead of assume bipartisan=good “Isn’t something better than nothing” assumes that none of the individuals involved agreed to harmful policies. A huge assumption — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

Meanwhile, when representatives of excluded communities object to the exclusion &marginalization required to make many bipartisan deals work, they’re dismissed as “unreasonable.” So who/what often benefits from this type of bipartisan dealmaking? Corporations & structural racism — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

That’s why folks can sometimes come across as careless when saying “well isn’t something better than nothing?” For many communities, their not having a seat at the table is a precondition for bipartisan deals to work in the 1st place. & that’s not only seen as normal, but valued — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

This is why a bipartisan pkg alone isn’t acceptable. The exclusion & denial of our communities is what DC bipartisan deals require. That’s how you get GOP on board : don’t do much/any for the working class & low income,or women, or poc communities, or unions,etc. We must do more. — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC

The diversity of this “bipartisan coalition” pretty perfectly conveys which communities get centered and which get left behind when leaders prioritize bipartisan dealmaking over inclusive lawmaking (which prioritizes delivering the most impact possible for the most people) — PolitiTweet.org

@jadabird @mayawiley It sounds like the woman you spoke with was one of the victims in the 89th st tenants fire. If so, the July 20th date has been lifted & extended. Victims of the fire should register w/ the city for relief. @votejgr (JH assemblywoman) has more info, or they can call my office — PolitiTweet.org
