Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

[Sluggo1]

I think you posted the wrong link. that tweet doesn't accuse shapiro of anything.

I'm pretty sure she's smarter than well the average PSD poster.

Well, you may be sure, but I'm not.

While I like her exuberance and agree it's time for a change in direction in politics…she's not it.

She is basically a stupid, idealistic individual that has a spitload of millennials following her. They're pretty much as dumb as she is and will support whatever she says. To that, add that she preaches giving away everything and that secures the poor and minority vote.

Every time she opens her mouth she sounds dumber than before. In a recent interview, I'm not even sure she knew who Nancy Pelosi was. She mentioned the Pentagon getting a raise they didn't ask for that was more than the entire military budget to begin with. The unemployment figures are low because people have two and three jobs. Part of health care can be offset by people living longer and not having funeral expenses. (I love that one.)

All she preaches is free stuff. Americans are entitled to free health care…where does it say that? Americans are entitled to a job…where does it say that?

She's like a burger flipper at McDonalds screaming about $20 minimum wage. What other burger flipper wouldn't vote for that. Never mind that the company can't afford that and would probably close.

She's a product of liberal education by whack job professors. Just raise you voice against mainstream society and basic American culture and you will get a following.You will also get guaranteed press.

Get used to her… in the coming election, she can't lose.

So you are saying her only differentiating attribute is her pretty face...


fair enough

LOL, it was you who brought up her looks.

didn't you vote for Trump?

[Vinylman]

She doesn't need to. If more like her enter Congress, just maybe, maybe the other political party will do things to win back the American people so they can keep their jobs.

I not saying she and others like her will change the world, but let's use them as a counter-balance to the big business politic that these two parties have been doing for the past few decades. We got to do something to shake up this political system. These politicans are getting so comfortable running things, they don't think twice about telling lies to us.

she is a very pliable candidate... she will easily get all caught up in the celebrity trappings of the elites which means $$$$$

she already has to an extent.... just not the payoff... that comes after she gets elected

I get your angle (getting away from the same old ****). That much we agree on for sure

[Walter_White]

She doesn't owe that schmuck a damn thing. If Shapiro wants to debate her he should have moved to the district and ran against her.

[Hawkeye15]

she is hot. But I have a weakness for latinas. If I were Superman, and went to Columbia to save the day, everyone would die.

I explained why people were enamored with her... there are plenty of progressives whou understand the issues that have her views that aren't given the time of day.


The answer to why is self evident

[WES445]

How do you see change coming since my way is the path to insanity

[Hawkeye15]

Slow infiltration into the house and congress, as you mentioned. It needs to start lower is all I mean.

lol, you the man, Hawk.

she doesn't... but that isn't why she won't debate him...

he might as well debate a poster cut out of her … it would sound more intelligent

[Sluggo1]

So to me here's the thing:
Dems and the Left want to argue for all of that at once....and that's what's extreme.

Get on the same page, change one thing, and let it become a cascade.

For example:
Criminal Justice Reform - For one election cycle pick up this agenda. Clean up the system. Become stricter with private prisons that they must maintain a certain level of living. No more minimum sentences on certain crimes. I have long argued don't put the user in jail. Assign a social worker, put them in a short term rehab program, and use them to find the dealers. Its more important to get the people distributing off the streets than the people using.

Then when you are spending less money on imprisoning people, you have more funds available to spend on gun control and fighting the NRA.

As for the education, I think it is a bit extreme to go with that, but what we need is more programs like we have for teachers where they have loan forgiveness. What about things like that for people that work in public service that got a college degree? Like I worked for 5 years for local government as a city planner. Why don't I get any forgiveness.

Anyways, take on one issue at a time, not all of them and then you don't seem extreme.

I pretty much agree with everything you say except loan forgiveness.

If you give loan forgiveness to anyone let me know where I go for a refund on the amount of dough I spent putting my kids through college.

No special deals for loan forgiveness just because someone takes on a job with local or federal government. Who benefits society more…a parks department employee, a bus driver or a doctor. Obviously the doctor but you're looking for loan forgiveness for the other two. Ridiculous.

And regarding loan forgiveness…this is why conservatives are against plans like Whacky Bernie and the kid from the Bronx pushing for free college. As soon as they get that, they'll turn to loan forgiveness. And don't think that won't happen.

No need to disagree here, I would click your beer bottle in a toast if we were at a bar.
