She's not my fave US Congressperson for sure. I think shes overrated on influence, gets way more credit than she's earned. A pissweak backbencher is what she'd be in oz. And I disagree w a lot of her policies
.
So an idiot then
But she's doing proper legislation, using proper democratic methods, and with enthusiasm really trying to get things done that help people.
Learning procedures , following rules is hardley the hallmarks of anything above operationally competent.
not demonizing her opponents,
???
She has had hissy fit fights with two separate elected- politicians in less than two years
???
I do not think you understand the implications of how this nut views her moral viewpoint
I think that there’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.
If her moral view point dictates she is right, then the facts of the matter are irrelevant to her
That is as dishonest as it gets
I find it admirable, even if her policies are misguided
.
It is her policies which can have an impact on peoples lives
She can defend them too, again, honest people can disagree with her. But she lays it out for discussion. Again, what she's proposing is mainstream in most of the world's democracies.
Not if she has not been prepped for the question ahead of time.
There is a reason she avoids open debate
If it is not pre-staged, she is a deer in the headlights
In contrast, MTG is doing performance art, waving her firearms and making veiled and not so veiled threats against people. Madison Cauthorn and Bobert doing the same - just own the libs. No need to put forth policy positions nor any meaningful legislation.
MTG does not make AOC any smarter
My problem is WHY THE FUCK is this grounds for this extraordinary, virulent, psychotic hatred of AOC? She's not asking for an ethno-state, nor turning USA into a dictatorship, nor banning the rich from voting, nor coddling dictators, nor profiting personally through conflicts of interest, etc.
Politics is a rough game
If you want to demand other people make massive changes to livelihoods and way of life, you had better be ready to face scrutiny and have your competencies examined carefully
Her intelligence is being examined and , it is clear, this is a dim bulb
The other is the dishonesty
If her moral view point dictates she is right, then the facts of the matter are irrelevant to her
That is as dishonest as it gets
I really do not like someone who intentionally and deliberately misleads others for politician gain
So i come back to why the hatred? Why the constant threats against her life
?
No politician should be threatened with physical harm
Best be sure the allegations are real, AOC does have a flair for the dramatic
She feared for her life during the Capital Hill protests, despite being blocks away
Sure, I'd rather bone her than talk politics w her, or accept her positions (outside of CG and doggy lol) but the point is she can talk policy. MTG didn't understand HIPAA nor what a US Attorney General does nor how the rules work in the legislature, and spends her time making campaign ads showing her threatening AOC and the squad (btw, threatening their lives, not their careers or ideas).
again
MTG does not make AOC any smarter
I think people making honest efforts to help others should be tolerated.
If she was honest you might have an argument
Her "Green New Deal" could be paid for by increased taxes.... juts at the "Tippy Top"
Meanwhile it would decimate the economy and accomplish none of her ideological goals or impact the climate
Trying to backdoor socialism via climate change policy is about as dishonest as it gets
And done respectfully when we disagree. I try to be respectful to all of you whether I agree or disagree. I've done my time as a warrior, thus don't feel the need to be the keyboard kind. Yet AOC seems to draw the fire of the latter, and others on the right like she's a greater threat to civilisation than the Nazis or the Chinese or the Taliban. I'd think Putin or Xi or that fat kid running north korea (to quote the great John McCain) would deserve such vitriol, but they don't seem to get half of what AOC gets.
History is filled with examples of the human suffering cause by fools who acquired too much power
An election should not be about selecting the candidate who promises you the most while crossing their fingers
It should be about ensuring a fool is not given too much power
