Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) has “been with the Republicans” since Congress returned, after the Michigan Democrat endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) in the midterms.

“She’s been with the Republicans ever since she’s come back. So she’s been on the Republican side of the aisle,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an appearance on “The Don Lemon Show” that aired Thursday.

“This is just the epitome of a certain kind of transactional politics,” she added. “And it’s really sad.”

    I was trying to illistrate a point about how even if folks may technically agree that something is an issue they may or may not agree on how to solve said issue via dialog with you, mostly cause you were so quick to decry the active political friction that makes action rough at best. Which is to say I was trying to use a rhetorical strategy to make a point, which funnily enough your non answer illustrated quite well.

    While it may seem silly such dialogs amongst laymen is useful. Also I may have listened to some Socratic dialogues early and my brain is currently in a very argument happy state right now and will probably be that way for the next couple days, don’t know if that’s better that the depressive state I got into after reading Of mice and men.
