[Deleted member 848]

Setting the stage for Ocasio-Cortez to win the mid-term and join congress as the youngest member of congress ever, the first socialist in congress in over 90 years, and the fourth one ever.

Finally, some positive news in American politics for once.

For what is supposedly such an earth-shaking win, I had never heard of her opponent before. And I generally pay pretty close attention to American politics.

This person is likely to be the Left's version of Dave Brat. Kind of an interesting curiosity, but someone without much gas.

On a separate note, what are your thoughts on the Supreme Court’s ruling today in the Janus case? How do you see it affecting those of us in public education?

I expect her to be about as effective as Rand Paul. A blowhard with no real substance.

She has a nice background story.

Rand Paul would have been great for this country.

Funny. This is just gonna push people to vote for Trump, tbh.

The whole abolish capitalism and private ownership thing will sound good to a few fringe people, but the majority will hate it. Vocal minority will love it though.

With that said, cool story of how she got elected. Don’t agree with her viewpoints at all, but good for her. Plus I just don’t think she’s the least bit dangerous. People on the far left or far right typically work out better for the opposing party come election time.

You might “Lol” but given your understanding of American society and politics are they wrong?

Too early to replace the anthem you reckon?

Yes, and you’ll see the evidence of that. Bump this thread in a year’s time
