Republicans really need to leave her alone.

She’s perfectly capable of killing progressivism in America for a generation if left alone.

Which is not only a win for America but a big one for republicans.

... Most Anarchists don't want to willy-nilly execute a bunch of people for wrongthink. You're thinking of esteemed folks such as Tankies, or, for a modern-day right-wing comparison, Brazil's Bolsonaro.

I think it's mostly because she's a pretty easy target for attacks and smears. Her policy proposals aren't strictly speaking feasible. She's had a lot of gaffes that weren't widely reported. And she has been trumpeted as a rising star in the Democratic Party - one of its youngest, freshest faces. It's definitely excessive, but it makes sense as for a mud-raking ever does.

I think these days it's been moved to Twitter, and happens coincidentally whenever there are reports about the President's dubiously legal proceedings.

It's actually considered the pinnacle of intellectual enlightenment, in fact, to have a president who mocks the disabled and who can barely talk like a regular human being.

Anyone wanna bet that this is gonna turn out to be a manufactured scandal like the Jane Sanders one?


The fact that she wants to tax people 70 percent should be enough to kick her the fuck out of office.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

Reading the evidence, this is a charge, and the organization bringing it acknowledges that it was most likely used for campaign funds. But, now she is a corrupt shit.

Btw, what is it with the right and screaming "AOC!" Its like the left and screaming "TRUMP IS HITLER!"

Look at the dumb shit she proposes. Just when I think that they can’t find anyone nuttier than Bernie, I find AOC. She is a danger to the US economy.
