In this case, the consequence is a person offering more ways to help struggling families. How is that not good?
AOC wants retro-active Unemployment in Stimulus

So you don't believe healthcare, homelessness, immigration, public safety, or education are real issues for Americans? I understand they may not be issues for you and that you certainly don't agree with her solutions, but you don't think they are important? What do you think are the most important issues for Americans?
You asked how I viewed her positions,.. yes, they look like peanut butter & jelly sandwiches to me.
Right now I would say covid and the economy,.. Concentrate on those two issues and Biden will have a very successful first term...
No, I asked how you thought they weren't real life issues.
Fine,.. They no longer look like peanut & butter sandwiches,.. They now look to me like things that aren't real life issues..
Sigh. Just forget it. If healthcare, tax reform, and climate change aren't real life issues, then just forget it. You're clearly unwilling to consider a viewpoint other than the one you already have.
A good day to you, sir.
You've been here long enough to know that this place isn't heavily populated with potential converts,.. However, I can see that you are a Cub fan which indicates that you are an optimist of the highest level so I understand the effort... Enjoy your weekend.
Agreed those are the pressing issues right now, but that doesn't make her issues not real which is what you claimed earlier. Also healthcare, housing, immigration, and education are issues that have been impacted by Covid.
My claim was that a majority of her issues are not real issues for me,.. I'm certain that they are real to her..
The right's rank and file: Qanon is a valid point of view that needs to be acknowledged and respected and the most secure election in history needs to be overturned because people are saying..., and congress people should be able to pack heat on the senate floor because muh freedoms.
The left's "insanity:" people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic that had bills piling up over the last ten months should be able to pay them.
I really hate the double standard that exists in this country's politics. The "both sides" stuff is as much a religion to some people as Christianity. "CNN is exactly the same as Fox News!" No, it f*cking isn't. "AOC and Bernie Sanders are just like Margery Taylor Green or Steve King!" Again, no they're f*cking not. Not by a long shot.
It's almost like she's there representing her constituents and not going along to get along like so many politicians.
Totally. That was really stupid of @Tom Paris to think you of all people might read something. I lol'd at him too.
Oh silly Tom...
People with bad ideas to help people are not nearly as bad a people with bad ideas to hurt people.

Its fun watching the Demmcratic Establishment Cuomo and Schumer sparing it out with this coalition.
Cuomo and Schumer at least know you have to pay for all these programs. They also know if you tax citizens too much they move out of state, or find ways to earn money not on W2's.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress
This year, we’ve experienced the disastrous consequences of disconnected leadership that fails to meet the needs of everyday people and responds to our systemic crises by leaving everyone to fend for themselves. We’ve tried their way and it doesn’t work. Our community has proven that we are...www.ocasiocortez.com
