It's amazing how many hold a grudge against AOC, it's almost like in their eyes an outspoken, successful, who champions equality and for the workers, opinionated woman should have completely the opposite qualities

Water John

to people who have been implying that Biden isn't doing a lot of work. This art on his efforts at bipartisanship on the Infrastructure Bill alone shows otherwise;

I don't despise her. I'm just commentating on how I see her. She does a lot if good things but she has that evil streak in her where you are a target if you are in her way and it doesn't matter if you are a good or evil person if you get in her way, she'll try and destroy you.

Can you give an example of her trying to destroy a good person?

I think the Pelosi thing is a good example.
Now I do despise Pelosi but calling her out like she did was clearly a move to advance her own career.

Civilly criticising a fellow politician for their actions is not the same as trying to destroy a good person.

Did she call her a racist or did she just comment on the actions of Pelosi? Because that's not destroying a good person. Have you any other examples of her trying to destroy a good person?

Playing hide the spoon?

What is the quote? You say it was evil. I see an Independent UK link above and no evil context within. Nothing targeting Pelosi so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Honest question: what was said and how is it evil?

You don’t have to answer of course but anything said without evidence will be dismissed without evidence.

You were asked for an example of her doing it to a good person and give an example of someone you despise.
AOC strikes me as the sort of politician America needs, not afraid of pushing for what she believes. I think fear of being called a commie or a socialist has held back plenty of people from doing the right thing.

I read it. She highlighted a pattern of behaviour by Pelosi - for which there appears to be evidence. Can you tell me how this is an example of her destroying a good person?

So, our focus is on working in — through the interagency process, pressing to eliminate bureaucracy, and making sure that we’re taking steps that treat them in a humane and moral way. And we’re less worried about press conferences or political games that are being played by some.

Jebus, back to the whinging that everyone is against you.

You have an opinion. Posters have asked why you have that opinion, and there is no basis.

You just don't. If you don't respect yourself enough to actually educate yourself, why do you expect others to respect your opinion.

Nobody is stopping you from having an opinion, just as nobody is stopping you from posting ill thought out opinions. But you even respect, you don't just get it.

Start backing up opinions with facts and evidence rather than simply bias and feelings

While I despise her many in this thread love her.
Now they are in denial as to the seriousness of the comments by AOC who they love too.
Just to clarify, I've always been a democrat supporter but I'm not afraid to be honest and say I don't like or trust a Democrat. I'm also not afraid to admit when I'm wrong.
We have many in this thread who can't do any of that.

Ah you don’t understand, don’t like Trump is equal to lefty libtard. There is no middle ground when you have jumped on board the express. Then without a shred of self awareness claims the left are rigid.

You have said AOC has no beliefs, and when you were presented with reasons as to why that is absolute horsesh*t, you said 'that's your opinion'.

You make sweeping, nonsense statements then run away when your bollocks is called out.

The dislike for Trump is quite bipartisan. I think some simpler types assume that those who dislike Trump must be on the left because Trump is the face of some country's right-wing party.

It's "couldn't HAVE". Not "couldn't OF". That doesn't even make any sense. You can't "of" something. I only mention it because this is the second time you've typed that.

I'm not saying you aren't, but I can say that I'm pretty sure I haven't seen any evidence of you being a Democrat supporter in your contributions here.

But again, I'm not sayin you are not, but can you give examples of Democrat politicians currently active who you respect and think should be leading voices in the party.

You've said you don't like AOC, (to the point of not believing videos of people harassing her), you despise Pelosi, and I'm pretty sure you said Biden was a bad choice for Presidential nominee but maybe I'm confusing you with someone else so given this view of prominent Democrats, I'm curious who tickles your fancy in the party and why.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

You could have copy and pasted it, like you do within most posts. That would be at least equal as to how the other poster posted it.

That's all part of their strategic narrative.

Hannity asks the leading question by focusing on the energy of Biden, versus that of Trump and McCarthy responds focusing on this and actually (probably mistakenly) praising Biden by saying he was alert, on point and engaging, before then talking (again somewhat erroneously) about Trumps sleeping habits.

Fox correspondents and right wing media will push this narrative by saying Biden appears to be be tired or lethargic when compared to Trump and it will be another seed planted for future harvesting where they say that even early on in Biden's Presidency law makers were saying that he seemed tired by it all and at that point, they won't point out that it was the leader of the GOP who said it, that he actually said positive things about him or that it was a leading question.

Dan Bongino, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, et al will already have copy ready to go with this.
Democrats should immediately push the same tape and make a talking point of McCarthy saying that Biden was alert and engaging and then show images of Trump looking deflated from his last Presidency with footage of Biden riding a bike and asking is it really believable that the former President living on a diet of fast food and Coca Cola has more energy that the fit current occupant of the office.

Fight fire with fire basically.

Has anyone figured out what time of day Biden won't do any pressers or be seen by press/public after? He seems to have a late afternoon curfew.

I don't know. I think it's more that he thinks the job of a president is to rant and rave about his grievances for hours. Like Castro or Chavez.

Haven't you heard?
He doesn't do any press conferences at all, ever, because he is not able to concentrate hard enough to both stand up and read the teleprompter and if anyone asks him a question he suffers a narcoleptic attack and immediately falls asleep which lasts for between 12 and 14 hours.

And he still has a higher satisfaction rating than the last President ever achieved.

Why? Can she not speak about two issues at the same time?

Are women only capable of talking about one thing at a time or do you not have the capacity to discuss more than one issue at a time?

No, I'm simply asking you why you have such an issue with someone comparing two instances of humanitarian disaster.

So you either haven't an answer or you do and you haven't the balls to say it, so either way you post in bad faith.

If you think comparing the kids on the southern border with the kids in Gaza has any truth to it, you're not worth an answer.

"We have to have the courage to name our contributions and sometimes I can’t help but wonder if the reason we don’t do that, if we’re scared to stand up to the incarceration of children in Palestine is because maybe it’ll force us to confront the incarceration here at our border."

Sounds like an accurate statement to me. What's wrong with it?

Funny how I'm not 'worth an answer' after challenging people.

I see them at the southern border.
