Ocasio-Cortez, a poor [wo]man’s Bernie

Agreed. This just shows you how dumb people that vote for Democrats are.

I didn't know those people were elected into congress.

You said people voting for democrats, not the democrats themselves. Oh man, are you suggesting you don't really believe what you type on here??

When you're such an accomplished shitposter, details like things you wrote 2 posts ago are mere annoyances to be glossed over as you move on to the next flurry of memes and snarky GOP apologetics.

I know this isn’t AOC but Tlaib is part of the squad so I’m putting it here. Jamie Dimon’s answer is perfect

Yeah that was great. She is the worst.

And I get mocked for worrying about what would happen if these folks were in charge.

It shouldn't, but the stupidity of people continues to amaze me.

I heard Sam Harris say recently that even though he's a liberal, he spends a lot more time criticizing the left, which has become as abhorrent as the right, but has occupied institutions he cares about like the New York Times and the arts. The right, though also abhorrent, seems less of s threat. Alex Jones isn't an elected official or writing columns in the New York Times, but Rashida Tlaib and her ilk are.

That's me too.

She's also in a conflict of interest, because she's sympathetic to oil rich countries who don't want the US energy independent or a competitor.

I don't think she is sophisticated enough to even recognize this conflict.

The Squad/Bernie have been marginalized almost to zero credibility/influence. Your worry is misplaced. The democratic party is still a center left party.

After Ron Johnson wins and Oz comes shockingly close to victory in PA, the Bernie/Squad faction will be completely destroyed nationally. The progressive left has been beaten back in MA and NY. SAn Francisco fired their far left leadership. Rick Caruso has a real chance to become the next mayor of Los Angeles.

The far left had its moment in 2016 which demonstrated the need to talk to disaffected voters. Trump filled that space unfortunately.

JFC do you guys even think before you post?

Please explain how her criticisms of Saudi Arabia demonstrate her conflicts of interest to oil rich countries.

Or are we just leveling criticisms simply based on race at this point?

The only federal-level officials in my state that have any sophistication don't represent me.

This seems like a pretty hollow argument considering that Donald Trump was President of the US.

FTR, I'm very concerned with both sides.

I agree with this. Their influence is much more muted than it was years ago. That doesn’t make them any less crazy. It also helps that the GOP has even more crazy people in it that now get more airtime than the squad used to get.
