"All They Do Is Tweet": We Know What The Justice Democrats Are All About

Jimmy Dore and Justin Jackson are correct: The Squad would rather tweet about progressive policies than fight for them. 

When any of them say that they are "for" something, it basically means: "If the leaders of the party actually bring the legislation up, we'll certainly vote for it." 

In other words: if Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris or any committee chair calls for Medicare for All or a $15 minimum wage, the Squad will happily give it their stamp of approval. But they will not do anything of substance to get those policies on the floor for a vote. They will not tell their followers on social media to hold onto their donations until a vote is done. They will not do anything to gum up the works in Congress to get their way. 

They will tweet, post videos, and give interviews. They will not rally, protest or hold their vote. They will not disturb the system, because they don't think that the system needs disturbing.

The Justice Democrats may be for more left-leaning policies, but they are still Democrats. It just means that it will take a little bit more time before they are completely co-opted. Heck, Kyrsten Sinema was a Green Party member who worked for Ralph Nader in 2000, and now look at her. 

(This does not let the GOP of the hook: they co-opted the Tea Party, and to a large degree Donald Trump. Remember; Trump went from talking about bad trade deals and jobs during the 2016 general election to claiming that Biden was a socialist hellbent on opening the borders in 2020...four years of FoxNews and DC tribal groupthink can rot your brain)

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
