Rittenhouse

Shrug. I don't know what to tell him. Leftists aren't bad or morons. They frequently and primarily advocate for the improvement of the material conditions of all of us and especially the poor and persecuted. Some extremists might be weird but hyper-focusing on the edge cases is disingenuous. but, I guess if you're gonna hate the left for no reason, you're in the right country and also fighting against what are, more than likely, your own interests.
Right wing extremists rationalize their garbage just like leftists rationalize there’s. Leftists are horrible agenda and narrative driven people who lie and twist every chance they get to further their agenda and narratives. Hyper focusing on extremists is what the left does every day, they are desperate in their ways to paint everyone extremists.
 
Anytime I've seen AOC speak I've been impressed. I don't really support all of her policy ideas, but I think she has a pretty strong command of the issues she speaks on.
AOC’s a politican who couldn’t garner 30% of the vote in 90% of districts across America. She also is someone who voted against a good infrastructure bill because “it didn’t go far enough”. Nothing epitomizes leftists stupidity more than “the squads” vote on that.

That really has nothing to do with what I said about her. Not sure why you wanted to post random thoughts as though they were a response to my post.

They are. AOC is an idiot, but she’s popular on the echo chamber called Twitter so applaud! “This bill doesn’t go far enough even if it benefits my constituents I’m taking my ball and going home”.

AOC is smarter than you are and it's not even close. You don't have to agree with a person to see their intelligence and she is both educated and very intelligent.

If she was smart she’d see how damaging her garbage is to the party, and vote in favor of a bill that benefits her constituents lives. NY gets A LOT of money in that bill. You can say she’s so smart, she’s a good pandering politican…….to the 10% of districts that echo each other on Twitter and pretend they’re smart and popular.

I don't think she cares about the Democratic party as it is. She's called herself a Democratic Socialist. That's automatically not mainstream Democrat. It's not even very liberal Democrat. It's an entirely different category.

You think she's dumb because she came in on an agenda that IS NOT in line with the mainstream Democratic agenda and then stayed true to the agenda she openly stated that she had?

OK, who's the dumb one here?

Very good GameFace, it’s called “leftist” and I’ve made it very clear what I think of that mindset. The dumb one is someone who cuts off their nose to spite their face.

My username is not two words, nor is there a random capitalization in the middle of it.

Well, she calls herself a Democratic Socialist, which is indeed leftist. As applied in some countries it has worked just fine for them and to the general satisfaction of the population. In the U.S. it's a bad word and we're stuck with things like the worst health care system in the modern world. Cool.

Socialism without significant capitalistic motivation is doomed to failure. I think she may take her socialistic notions too far and they could very well be damaging. But she knows what she's saying and she knows what she's advocating for and she knows very very well what she's advocating against and why. Again, I'm not willing to just throw her the reigns and so "do what you want, let's see what happens." But I've found her perspective to be interesting and well informed.
