2020 Presidential election

It's nuts to me that someone created that ad, and ABC ran it. It's one of the most disgusting political ads I've seen, and it's not like she's in the middle of a campaign or anything, so it's very random. But yeah, the right absolutely has a some sort of creepy obsession with her.

For sure. She is clearly the favorite “boogeyman” of the right.

Being anti Trump, or talking about things the GOP is doing that you find abhorrent isn't "hate."

Look, if you are tired of reading criticism of the ridiculous **** going on from the right in the country right now, you don't have to open these threads.

I don’t suggest these things of anyone else do I?

So stop equating “anti trump” with hate.

So basically your answer is do nothing.



Either accept that I’ll speak out when I feel the need to, speak with me to show me better or ignore me.

Exactly she’s not even campaigning right now. So why bring her up? Is it in an effort to make her the new face of the party? If she weren’t so young and attractive, would she be getting so much hate from the right?

Furthermore, can we discuss how no one knows what socialism is anymore?

Farmer handouts and handouts to Walmart to move operations to certain cities? Tariffs? somehow are labeled “incentives” or “subsidies” and “free market capitalism.” But isn’t this socialism? Isn’t government intervening, often financially?

But student financial aid? Universal health care?

That’s socialism?

What about the social security and Medicare that so many trumpers love? What about when they demand greater government investment in the rust belt? Is that socialism?

What about gigantic military spending in Kentucky? Is that socialism or free market capitalism?

Is what AOC advocates for in Congress really comparable to the Khmer Rouge?

Is Democratic socialism, socialism, and communism all summarized as “socialism” now?

In my profession, words matter. There’s a huge difference between Cambodia in the 1970s, Vietnam, China, North Korea, the USSR, Canada, and Denmark. Yet in these cheap attack ads, words don’t seem to matter anymore.

Bro Thriller is not "evil." I mean, let's put this into perspective a little bit. I enjoy the vast majority of your posts so I'm not going to ignore you. But if you have as much a problem with him as I do with Heathme, or JazzyFresh for example, I'd recommend just putting him on ignore. The world will keep on spinning, I promise.

Also, doesn’t ABC have a responsibility to not air that ad? I can see Fox News airing it. I’d still disagree with their decision to do so. But It’s right on par with “Tucker’s White Nationalist Hour.” But ABC is supposed to be above this sort of biased and slanderous attack ad, right?

And in an era is desperate need of civility, it feels like they really dropped the ball on something so simple.

Wow... still not very tempted to reveal these posts but I’m amazed this argument is still raging. And it appears to be going off the rails.

Lol

Never knew AOC would get some people so triggered on here.

I've made this point before, but I think Republicans turning socialism into anything they disagree with is a losing strategy, and probably in some part responsible for this new movement of young people who have embraced it. It's like when you go to DARE in middle school and hear about how evil and dangerous pot is, and then after you try it you realize you've been lied to, and stop taking those people seriously anymore.

But these ads aren't meant to convince anyone of course, it's red meat for the base, meant only to rile people up.

And abc is fine being used like that? Again, I’d be disappointed but not surprised if Fox News did this. But ABC? They’re one of our major news networks.

That’s a good connection with DARE. That’s a good point. We’ve been told for so long that universal health care and student financial aid is so evil and socialist. It’s really lost it’s sting for most of us. We know they’re full of **** and are just trying to protect big monies interests.

Being used? They're profiting from it! This sort of thing should put to bed the notion that our mainstream media outlets are "left wing." The only thing they care about is money.
