    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.
    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.

    I am not fond of AOC and have given my opinions as to why.

    You give your opinions on why you hate Donald Trump so much everyday and I accept that.

    Variety is the spice of life my friends.

    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.

    Be the change you want to see. Go figure it out for yourself. Don't be getting everyone else to do your work for you.


    You'll be a better person for it.

    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.

    an attitude that is perhaps understandable in teenagers but very sad for a man in his 70s.

    I'm objecting to the fact that she had to shoehorn the southern border crisis, with the killing of innocent children in Gaza.

    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?

    I asked you a question.

    What's the problem with comparing two situations of humanitarian disaster?

    Just seems like a weird hill to die on, that's all.

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

    You're then going around in circles and telling me to go away.

    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.

    And she didn't actually compare the two but why let facts get in the way of some good old fake outrage.

    I don't see people traffickers throwing kids over the Israeli border.



    I see them at the southern border.
