when Trump attacks the free press it is seen as terrible and a threat. when AOC does it, meh.
yeah, I brought that up to. It's a tough sell, when what you are saying, you ain't doing. But such is life. It's why Kap has no career. His message is correct, but people don't want to hear a millionaire talk about injustice. I get it. Doesn't change the message being accurate coming from Gore though. It's as if we expect Gore to move to the forest and live off the land, otherwise why listen, right?Quote:

:laugh2: yeah AOC "attacks" the press
nobody attacks the press like Trump. Nobody. The dude is so, "either with me or against me" mentality, it's crazy. Embarrassing is a better word, since he represents you and me.Quote:

I have no idea of a solution, but I do believe the net effect on society is negative. Add to that the merging of the media into a tiny number of corporations dominating all of the messages means it's getting so hard to be heard if you have a dissenting voice.
AOC, for all of the things I disagree with her on, I love her passion and her hope. We need more hope.
I can't speak for the media but here was my biggest personal takeaway:Quote:

Green New Deal is, in very short order, met with heavy criticism/skepticism for any number of reasons.
AOC's site pulls the Green New Deal, AOC declares that it was a first draft that was published, and not what she is actually proposing. AOC accuses both media and the right as "pouncing."
A day passes. No revised nor final draft is submitted.
A week passes. No revised nor final draft is submitted.
On Thursday, one full month will have passed. No revised nor final draft is yet submitted.
So that was my takeaway.
What passion and hope? She's painting a dirty picture of current society and trying to paint one where we are all citizens living under a rainbow and lucky charms rains down every day. She's the same person saying, "The world will end in 12 years if we do nothing about climate change." By far the biggest issue with Trump are 1) Lies, 2) Constantly attacking others who dislike him. But other than those two, everything else is just politics. If AOC's primary objective is to point out the issues with America, that's fine. But she is no different than Trump with MANY of her lies and her followers believe that nonsense as if she's some sort of genius.Quote:
