Imagine an entire race being discriminated against and killed. Imagine an entire religious group being discriminated against and killed. Now you're telling me these people in Honduras are fleeing the same type of violence? Give me a break. Hondurans aren't being killed for being Hondurans. Jews were killed because they were jews. Tell me which one is more significant in cultural history.

i'm sorry if you keep saying the same thing and not reading what I say... Think what you want.

That's what you guys are saying, that poverty and lack of opportunity lead to genocide.

No it doesn't otherwise why don't we see it happening more? There's lots of poor countries with low levels of opportunity, most never degrade into genocide.

http://genocidewatch.org/genocide/te...fgenocide.html

this is genocide watches list of the ten stages of genocide by dr. Gregory stanton. He's a professor at george mason, who founded the cambodian genocide project at yale in 1981, went on to help negotiate the un-cambodian governments agreement that led to the khmer rouge tribunal, and wrote the internal rules and procedures for evidence for the tribunal.


At no point does it list poverty and lack of opportunity as a cause of genocide.

Your snarkiness doesn't show a direct causation between poverty and genocide.

Who do you see primarying (is that not the word?) her in 2020? Because unless there is something MASSIVE that happens, the GOP isn't winning that seat any time soon.

She beat one of the most firmly entrenched members of the "Democratic establishment" in one of the more stunning upsets of the election year. She represents a district that is hugely favorable to her brand of politics.

She won the general by getting 77% of the vote too. Hell, she beat Crowley 57-43.

Keep dreaming.

All her next opponent has to do is run around promising a $25 minimum wage, promise to make all doctors do free house calls, and promise to pay people to go to college.

That person will get elected by her stupid constituents. Then that winner will not deliver on any of it just like Ocasio-Cortez can't deliver on her promises.

I guess a goofygrin might help too.
