This site needs an option for laugh reacts like on FB. Zombie is a funny ************(unintentionally I’m sure).

she's legitimately tapped into an national nerve on an emotional level. But the practicality of her ideas and implications if they were to be implemented are broadly terrible.

High marketing, low knowledge. Just like POTUS45, more naive, less evil.
 
We should embrace opposite views in politics, as extreme as they may seem to the other person's eyes. Unfortunately many people get entrenched in their ideas in a way that rather than engaging in intelligent conversation they resort to bashing the other side. And so what happens in this scenario is that a republican that supports universal healthcare is viewed, or made to be viewed (by the media) as an "outsider" and consequently gets less coverage. Likewise if a democrat supports lower taxes or any other action that involves less government interventionism.

The establishment is a thing.
 
And btw anyone who thinks a moderate candidate is going to dethrone Trump is mistaken imo. Nothing to the right of Bernie Sanders has a remote chance of cutting the job.
Overthrowing bold bigotry requires bold open-mindedness.

I’m more concerned with how radicalized the congress is as opposed to the president.

As for defeating trump specifically. I think it’ll take a very large personality to defeat him. AOC fits the bill personality wise.

We'll see what she's like when she is of age. She's got about 10 more years.

The real costs of green energy:
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/03/exposing-the-real-costs-of-green-energy.php

"Greenies will tell us, of course, that $80.2 billion, a declining economy and tens of thousands of jobs lost are a small price to pay to save the planet. But in fact, the reduction in CO2 emissions would be infinitesimal. Using the Obama administration’s highly questionable assumptions, achieving the 50% renewable target would reduce the Earth’s average temperature by 0.0006 degree Centigrade by 2100–an amount that is far too small to detect with even the most sophisticated equipment.

Liberals don’t actually believe that global warming caused by human CO2 emissions is an “existential threat” to mankind, as they like to say. If they really believed it, they would be campaigning to invade China and India, or to bomb their hundreds (if not thousands) of coal-fired power plants from the air. But I think that we can all agree that reducing global temperatures by 0.0006 of one degree isn’t saving anything."

It's pretty funny seeing that some people are claiming FOX is making all of this stuff up. Not only are they not making it up, but on a daily basis AOC seems to take even more extreme positions, and numerous other Dems (including many of the presidential candidates) bumble into the exchange and end up defending her positions. The Green New Deal (which is absolutely idiotic) is just the tip of the iceberg. Some Dems (including presidential candidates) are talking about taking down the pieces of the wall that are currently standing. AOC is painting Reagan and FDR as racists, trying to ignore the tremendous good that both administrations did for all Americans (definitely including minorities). I heard a Republican call AOC the gift that just keeps on giving, and I can certainly see why they feel that way. If she keeps successfully dragging her party to the left then I believe that Trump will win another term.
 
Love how every Trumper says the same thing about "dragging dems to the left ensures Trump wins again". I've seen this statement countless times already on this forum. Is it from a bumper sticker or something?

I'm really interested to hear more about your personal story. It'll be interesting to see how plausible or implausible it is that you've formed these opinions from first-hand experience within an industry.... or whether this list is simply copied from some Neo-conservative "10 commandments" somewhere.

(It looks exactly like the latter, btw).

Also, you appear to know jack**** about the history and development of capitalism.

I would guess you are not a fan of Milton Friedman.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Friedman

He is brilliant on the topic of capitalism and that is the reason I posted many of his videos a few pages back. I have enjoyed his books and learning much of what I know from him. I agree with his view about the history and development of capitalism. The Uncle Eric books are also excellent if you want to do some more beginning reading on the subject: http://www.bluestockingpress.com/uncle-eric-books.htm

Here is something that appears to be more up your alley:

It's not that AOC says some out there stuff, its that Foxnews props her up as the leader and mouthpiece for the Dems and liberals as a whole, which she is definitely not. Her concepts and ideas strike fear into the hearts of conservatives and Foxnews is using her to stoke that fear aka SOCIALISM!

AOC is a small time freshman getting way too much press on conservative sites. Ever noticed she featured on Foxnew's homepage everyday? She's barely on "liberal media" news outlets. You're being manipulated, just so you know.

At no point in that video did she say moderates were lazy. I think her point is a valid one tbh. We are faced with some monumental issues (climate change, increased automation, student debt to name a few) that will require bold action to solve. Something "moderates," who in this country are really the true conservatives, are incapable of.

She said they are "meh". She made it clear that she believes in extremism. In my opinion the problem is not the moderates, it is the extremists.

Most democrats would disagree with your assessment:
