Anyway, notice how nobody rushed to Bush's aid or helped her campaign. She was all out of friends for apparently good reason. Being correct about Israeli genocide in Gaza is a "no duh" position and she thought that's all she had to run on.
While you're at it tell those pussies to activate my 37 alt accounts. Fuckers.

You called out the squad, I mostly agreed with you but with the caveat that I actually think AOC is a serious and productive politician, stop acting like I'm saying she's the greatest thing that's ever happened to this country.
You and I must be watching two different people. She's a fucking imbecile. But as I have posted multiple times on the subject; she's a useful idiot.
She's pretty, young, strong socials and popular with the braindead masses. She would be much more effective working for a PAC, on K Street or even the DNC. She's a God awful legislator.

Point one, that's demonstrably untrue. You may not agree with the things she says or believes but she isn't stupid.

Point two, in a legislative environment that includes people like Large Marge, Bobo the Clown, Ted Cruz, etc. she may as well be John Calhoun.

100% I disagree with every single stance she has but that doesn't make her a rarity in congress. The only time I have really listened to her is when she has spoke on finance / economy. It made my head hurt. She knows fuck all about economics... like not even the most basic of shit.

I'll admit that I don't really know her stance and knowledge level on economics. That said I think she's a fantastic communicator, especially to the younger demographics, and she's pretty good at breaking down legal (usually social) issues in ways that are easy for your average person to digest.

Edit: Even 'economists' know fuck all about economics because it's an ephemeral system where the rules aren't concrete, things get adjusted on the fly for arbitrary reasons, and our economic system is also structured in a way that is entirely counter-intuitive. I work for a financial services company and I can tell you that 99% of what we do outside of my department is bullshit that the world could easily do without.

This is as good a time as any to confess I'm using one of those accounts to lurk over there.

My draft guy account got banned.

Hey, you asked me not to talk about you there and I don't. I just lurk here because well, not much football talk going on and you and Outie seem to get BiBL upset very easy when I express my opinion instead of trying to change my view which I am more than willing to do

Okay, this is one of the first things anyone has said about me on the internet that's actually irritated me. Don't lump me in with that hysterical, facebook addicted boomer psychopath.

Sometimes someone expresses views that are so wildly contrary to my own that there is no point in doing anything other than pointing out why they're wrong and then moving on. I've also found that online debate, especially of the political variety, almost never accomplishes anything.

But don't ever conflate me with that cunt ever again. She's like the MAGA version of a liberal.

1. It's the off-season

2. Bibl isn't here and I don't mess with her.

3. You have the right to your opinion here, but you have to defend it.

4. I'm asking you to ask them so I can engage them over there instead of drawing them over here. As you can see, outtie is over it but I still can't get enough of the cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance. Nobody else over here is interested so if you would I'd appreciate it.
