    right, so she is indeed out of the realm of fact on that.

    not to say the window thing is a hard fact, but no one has credibly claimed the world would end.

    The rich need to pay. It really very simple.

    Someone should ask her what percentage of taxes the rich pay compared to the middle class. I bet the answer would be comically incorrect.

    Her people give her the talking points, and she jumbles them all up.

    I think she is in way over her head. I know I would have been at that age.

    I think she’s just going to further divide the Democratic Party.

    You saw it with Bernie and you’re now seeing it with AOC.

    The same as people actually wanting the GOP to be fiscally responsible.

    They love to give their talking points lips service but no one really believes in that shit and just wants to keep the gravy train going.

    No I bet she’s one of these people that think the rich pay no taxes and the middle class pay all of them

    RockyHill Loves Auburn more than Tennessee.

    She’s plainly just dumb as f**k. And I wish that wasn’t the case, because America needs more politicians that are what a lot of twenty-something liberals think she is.

    Beto is going to disappoint everyone too.

    Wait.

    Couldn’t you say the same thing about anyone that pays taxes.

    AOC pays taxes. A portion of her taxes fund ICE. Why does AOC support and fund locking children up?

    You wanted us to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for the Paris Climate Agreement, and we’re not alone in making that mess.

    Why should I have to pay for China and India to increase their carbon output after the Agreement was made?

    I'm a fan of whoever is knowingly complicit in wrongdoing being punished. This charade of talking about punishing Wells Fargo for financing whatever Cortez is talking about is pure nonsense. That's the equivalent of punishing people that used CFCs because no one knew the damage it did to the ozone layer.

    He’s got a whole lot of disappointing left to do.

    AOC is believing her liberal press, and is operating on ego. She needs to calm tf down. It doesn’t all have to be done today, and in every interaction. She’s risking becoming a caricature.

    She’s 27 and is sitting in Congress. She needs smart people around her, and to listen to them.

    If he doesn’t smarten up, and damned quick, he’s going to make Gary Hart’s end seem mild.

    He and AOC are like watching new lotto winners at the moment. They need some prudence, whether they realize or want it or not, or they’ll both get humbled up.

    Too quick to talk about it.

    You can’t hold the lender responsible for what the borrower does with the money. Apply that same logic in any other direction, and you’ll see that it’s asinine.

    You’re just digging in.
