    She sure struggles with math. There is that too. Almost every time she is interviewed, she looks a fool.

    Locking the entire press out "is not an issue"? LOL. One word...Acosta.

    Well, rather than sitting on the internet talking about politicians, why don't you go out and expose your ideas to voters. Explain to them that you are a Fascist and you plan to torch the Constitution and take away many of their cherished rights, but it is all in their best interests. Lets see how you go. Should be hilarious. Can't wait for the excuse making to start.

    She may or may not be qualified, but at least she has undergone the process of election and the public scrutiny it entails. That instantly makes her more qualified than you. In short, she is already more accomplished than you will likely ever be and she has the courage to expose her ideas to the scrutiny of the world. So, more accomplished and more courageous. Ouch!

    Yes, bossy. You did say this, right?

    So she’s an alpha personality, that makes her bossy.

    You do realize the inherent problem with your post, correct? By your own logic Donald Trump is more qualified than you, is more accomplished than you, and is more courageous than you. Ouch, indeed.

    This is one reason why posts should be about the OP and not necessarily the poster.

    Let's see which rights I intend to take away, or torching the Constitution. I don't think you can cite anything, other than my proclamation of being a Fascist-Technocrat. And if I get the funding, I'm more than prepared to argue. We had a 100 yr oligarchy of the Right/Left, and to ever diminishing returns. If the two parties have failed us, then on its merits we should turn elsewhere.

    I wish we had the courage for more Trumps, and less corporate suits in government.

    That’s part of the problem with this country today. People are admired and considered accomplished for being politicians. Sad.

    She's a true believer. As much as I hate socialism and think she's a moron, at least shes not a secret society plant playing political theatre.

    Shes dumb, but shes not evil. She might get some good done, if only as a huge monkeywrench jamming up the gears of the establishment.

    I wouldn't seek Democrat office. Frankly, one of the reasons I am a Nationalist is that the Democratic Party has betrayed its principles and has so divided the nation.

    In all fairness, the same could be said about the republican party. They've betrayed their core principals IMO.

    I don't understand, the accepted definition of nationalist, (Macron notwithstanding) is that it's pretty synonymous with patriotism and everyone who says they're into American politics sort of has to be a patriot. That is, they have to want what is best for America, though we all disagree and sometimes strongly as to what that exactly is.

    Her ideas, apart from being inconsistent are also utterly impossible even in the Democratic House. I venture she'll have less than 50 pieces of legislation considered, and of those 50 maybe 5 at best passed. This is the problem with voting someone because they'd be a "first"(also, the democratic wave considerably weakens that 'argument'(insofar as it's a logical one) in 2020. Those 100 members, and the DP in general must provide results and not just to their party base, but to independents and possible swing voters.)

    It's possible(in fact, very likely) that Democrats are merely borrowing the house, barring anything happening to Trump. That's where the DP is. They really need Mueller to come through for them, because otherwise they have no party agenda.

    Our main agenda at this point should be to keep Trump or any other Republican from winning the next election or any other for that matter. That is how political parties work, yes?

    If we can best do that by working with Republicans we should, but our objective is to win political office

    Custer was fearless. Didn't work out so well. But they didn't scalp him. I guess that's a plus.

    Really? Party power? Most Americans are concerned about their loved ones and friends and their needs. Like Healthcare and making a decent living and having a fair social safety net. I think they vote for their families wellbeing and not for political power.

    Yeah.

    I like her too.

    And, btw, just as I predicted:

    Pretty soon PF is going to need a Separate Section for AOC Threads.

    The RW Fever Swamp obsession over her as gotten comical.

    My advice to the RW:

    Just ignore her.

    Don't rush here to start 20 threads every time some RW Trash Blog posts their RW BS.

    Why would they be scared of her, besides fearless and strong she's also dumb as a bag of hammers and will crash and burn quickly.
