    Lol, I wasnt referring to the 1800 dollars giving her the jail time but the diverting of a million dollars of political contributions but you may be right because I thought this was an AOC thread apparently I can’t read.

    Criticizing the Israeli lobby and Israel's treatment of Palestinians is not anti-Semitic, any more that criticizing Saudi Arabia's lobby and treatment of women is anti-Islamic.

    I’m pretty sure she’s saying that the general indifference which has crept into most corners of our society is an enemy that needs to be addressed.

    Ambition is seen as naive. Conformity is seen as appropriate.

    She’s a funny one. She’s not wrong and is full of energy. Just doesn’t have the experience or understanding.

    She’s right though.

    What is the thing Trump and his family does to signal to white nationalists?

    Between AOC and Andrew Yang there is actually a lot to ne excited about in politics. AOC would be perfect, and taxing everyone on there 10 millionth and one dollar and up at 70 percent would make America number one again. We would all have free health care and dental and our governemnt would be so rich, schools would be better, teachers would get paid more, and we can finally start paying back the national debt. Defecit spending needs to stop.

    But let’s ne realistic. The elite will never let her happen. They just wont. I will settle for Yang and his thousand bucks a month to everyone over 18.

    All we get from trump is a stupid wall. maybe. Lame. Tired of his greedy hate and dividing.

    AOC's latent dictatorial aspirations, seen in some of her quotes here, are pretty appalling.

    In response to workers bring replaced by automation;
    “We should be excited about automation, because what it could potentially mean is more time educating ourselves, more time creating art, more time investing in and investigating the sciences, more time focused on invention, more time going to space, more time enjoying the world that we live in,” she said, according to The Verge. “Because not all creativity needs to be bonded by wage.”

    She’s wearing me down, ya know jobs and making money is really past it’s time.
