She is really vibrant. We need more of her kind running. I really appreciated her insight into why our current unemployment rate is down so low. More people are working two jobs.

She's gonna be President soon.
 
I'm not sure why people feel the need to tear down young civic minded people. Disagree with their political ideas? Totally ok and natural. No need to tear down a young woman who is making an attempt to be politically active.
 
Honestly, many politicians in NY or CA tend to already share views like her - only they don't parade out in the open like she does.

I guess my problem with people like her is that they tend to support or enact policies that sound good but have disastrous long term effects which, ironically, ends up hurting the people they are meant to help. For example, look at all those politicians in San Francisco, whose various policies over the years made it harder for people in Oakland and made it so the income disparity grew. Same thing happens in Portland (who attempts to replicate the San Francisco model) and with that comes rising costs of living, zoning laws, homelessness, scaring away businesses, destruction of the middle class, making certain parts of Portland economically worse, etc.

Essentially, these Ocasio-Cortez types read a few theories and crunched a few numbers and now assume that it equates to understanding the complexities of life. I don't think it ends well if they get ever into power.

On that note, in the coming years, I do think it will be somewhat amusing when Russians and the Chinese try to hack and interfere to push candidates like her into power as part of their geopolitical playbook. A lot of the roles and reactions we see today are going to be reversed.

I feel the need to tear down 99.9999 percent of all politicians.

She ain't special.
 
She’s already proven she’s just a naive puppet for Soros, a pretty girl with a nice smile, a minority but “white enough” to get votes. She has shown she knows nothing of politics, world affairs, US history, or basic math. She’ll go far.

Hilarious take... They did that for the CURRENT administration...

It certainly worked for Donald Trump....

Haha seriously, ignore what is actually happening and come up with some conspiracy that might happen. On that note I'm sure the end game of all the Russians and Chinese is to make sure our population is educated and healthy. That will show us. Those long term effects would surely be disasterous.
 
Somebody in this forum literally called these Russians "heroes"...

Much more of a disrespect to our nation than taking a knee...
 
Link please.

In hindsight after reading it, he could be calling the people who want to punish the Russians "heros".

Bottom line, he sees capitulation as an option and no one will believe anything about the mounting evidence against Trump.

If Trump is in Putin's pocket what can Trump do to hurt us? Leave Putin alone?

Explain all the different scenarios, nobody has yet.

Really? He's gonna lift sanctions that we placed on Russia for invading a sovereign nation.
This is costing Russia serious money and Trump is pretty much about to aid and abet a robbery.
They were kicked out of the G-8 for this and now Trump wants to just let them back in. Fuck that.
It's bullshit and isn't the only reason why working with our ENEMIES and slapping the shit out of our allies is bad foreign policy..

Is the Russian economy important to you?
 
It's important to me that we stand up to bullies so yeah... The world doesn't allow what Russia did.
The world doesn't have a choice. That is the problem with nukes. Putin can do any damn thing he pleases.

I am not saying Trump is savvy enough to navigate this situation. What I am saying is that all the chest thumping in the world won't help.

Sanctioning Russia until their economy collapses won't either.

All the experts in the world won't convince me otherwise. There is no foolproof plan to fix this.

Bullshit. I remember when we slapped the shit outta the Russians. NOT capitulate with them. Do you remember?

 
The existence of this tread is proof to me that people are scared of this woman, otherwise trying to undermine her character and positon would not be worthy of their time or the time of the propaganda that they listen to.

As a most recent example, all you have to do is look at Venezuela for why I don't think it's a good idea to go down the road she and like minded people want to go down.

I remember tons of things that are irrelevant to today.

Especially if you believe everything you read about Putin. Gorby run around killing people with nerve agent?

Yeah, don't think so.

It is amazing that Trump is turning liberals into Neocons.

It would be amazing if true. It's not.

Just because it can't be fixed doesn't mean it can't be made worse.

That is most certainly true. Not sure he has a plan. With John Bolton lurking around in the shadows I'm not sure it won't get worse.
