Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said "I think our number one priority and what democrats should prioritize is not process and how, but are we passing the deal that helps working people the most? Are we passing the deal that makes the most jobs? Are we passing a deal that brings down the most climate emissions?

And if a bipartisan deal sucks up trillions of dollars in bridges to nowhere because it makes people feel good, then that`s going to be a huge concern." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
