Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

You can’t even point out what part of my post was unclear.

I said “taking out the top 1% and looking at the bottom 99%, BAME people are generally doing well”.

He thought that meant 99% of BAME people are doing well.

Now you can continue your faux argument of the above being my fault, that you and him can’t grasp it but you’re only making yourself look dim.

I’m not taking responsibility for your lack of intelligence.

At least the other poster has realised it was a his misunderstanding and has dropped it.

Do you have any integrity? I exaggerated to make my point. You still said 99% of BAME people (at the bottom) are doing fine. That the privileged 1% are mostly white men because they don’t give birth and wealth is inherited. That there are zero serious race issues in the work place and there hasn’t been for decades.

They are bullshit statements made with no factual evidence. When asked to backup your claims you dodged it by playing the victim and making out people knowingly “misunderstand” you.

I’m not responding to you any more because like Bob said you take no responsibility for what you post and any intelligent argument that disagrees with your rhetoric is dismissed as left wing “nonsense”. It’s boring.

We are talking across each other. There is no further point in this discussion.
 
Well, I'm sure we would appreciate some examples. As for policies, she is advocating for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and abolishing ICE. She was also against the Amazon HQ in Queens.

Examples? This thread is literally full of them and the same knights in shining armour being outraged on her behalf.

She should toughen the fuck up if her career is in American politics.

Not one single republican is going to giver her an easy ride in the same way no fucker gets one over there.
 
Whatever anyone wants to call her, many think she's a total fruitcake.
Abolishing the US Immigration and customs enforcement seems lunacy to me,
but if that's what Americans want, it's their bat and ball.
Personally, I don't think they do.

What about her other policies listed there, like a Green New Deal, or Medicare for All, which I guess would be a bit like our NHS type idea, lunacy or worthy of merit?

Just had a quick look around, because on the surface abolishing ICE does seem an odd suggestion, but it seems it’s because her and Sanders etc feel it is not fit for purpose as an organisation. It seems it was only set up in the 2000s, so I’m guessing the US did have some kind of functioning Immigration and Customs systems before that. I don’t think she is arguing there should be no customs or immigration service whatsoever!

She is for abolishing the organisation, not the function. ICE used to be US immigration and Customs Enforcement which was perfectly adequate.

There is no clarity in the way ICE is supposed to function. In reality the organisation is a total mess and it needs scrapping and starting again.

Well, name them. You're the one making the point, so at least have the courtesy of backing it up.

And screaming abuse is not ’tough’, it's just abuse. It's 2020, not 1920.

The repeated swearing there really makes that post more persuasive. In fact I’ll be disappointed if I don’t get one in reply to this ;-)
 
Speaking of “fucking bitches”, the hair-trigger windmill-tilters on this thread meet the definition pretty well.

She’s a freshman politician who’s doing a job for her constituents who, for whatever reason possibly related to her gender, age or ethnicity, has struck a chord with a wider audience and is exploiting it just as any savvy self-promoter would do. “Hype” as one of my heroes Robert Christgau would say “is just a bad word for someone else’s publicity.”

There’s a near 100-page thread about an American congressperson on some English football chat board. She’d smile quite broadly if she knew that.

Of COURSE she’s going to make a big deal out of this. If you can’t understand why, it explains why you aren’t in politics.

Id have a modicum of respect for your opinion if you applied it evenly across all politicians Bob.

You don't....I don't!

Jekyll and Hyde poster who one minute wants them to toughen up and by them i mean politicians you don't like being abused and the next, in full on faux outrage mode because one of your has been called a name.

"Its 2020 not 1920"

Do kindly fuck off lol ;-)
