You can’t be serious! I mean, the woman (sorry, I should have said “the kid”) mistook a democrat for a republican (although in fairness, they are in most cases very difficult to distinguish).Quote:

In modern politics mistakes are not allowed. Nor is optimism.Quote:

what type of mistake would you rather call it? AOC included a tweet where she said it was GOP but the tweet she included literally said Democrat. obviously she didn't bother to read, or if she did she wasn't smart enough to understand.Quote:

I feel dumber for having read this. No offense but all of this is inconsequential just like her mistake. At best its obsessive and weird and worst its petty and hateful.Quote:

In both cases it is charismatic people riling up their base.
I can't stand Trumps face or to hear him speak so AOC has that above him at the very least.
Also agreed.Quote:

All that said, she has put some things on the table that needed to be put on the table (whether she is right or wrong is up for debate, but at least there is a debate to be had because of her). Call the Green New Deal what you will, but I’m perfectly happy to argue its substance.
Anyone else see the irony of Special hammering AOC for being an idiot for her twitter mistake and in the other thread he is saying how Trump's twitter mistake was no big deal?Quote:

generally I could agree that some random politician not saying something isn't news, but AOC is someone who will talk about anything. she is like Trump in that she will speak on any situation, so when she doesn't bother to speak about a specific incident then it gets attention.Quote:

Special in a nutshell: What they did was the same but the Liberal doing it was worse.Quote:

That is larger than the entire population in Sri Lanka by over 100 million. So it's not so much the fact he added an extraneous word, it's that he couldn't comprehend how ridiculous it is to believe for even one second that a terrorist attack short of the aliens in Independence Day would kill 138 million people.
Trump was wrong for what he said, you know like how I brought it up first and said he deserves to be criticized for it. it was idiotic to say 138 million. but he did delete that tweet and have another one without that word.Quote:

valade16 you are obviously aware of what AOC did, so when do you criticize her for it?
even Crovash is against it.
