Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Joyous.

Pretend to be offended by name calling and then just launch yourself right in doing the same.

Another gift that keeps on giving.

Somebody else seeing what they want to see. Another one for the list I guess.

You’ve admitted there you don’t know and either of us could be right.

The difference is I’m not accusing him of racism and misogyny without knowing whether it’s a case of him just not liking her or whether he’s a bigot.

He could be both, it could just be the former but because we cannot know for sure, it’s wise to not automatically presume and start a race debate.

But it's also therefore probably not a good idea to automatically clear him of the allegation too, which you did when you said "his skin colour has nothing to do with it."

List you say?

Pop me on it, no problems whatsoever.

American politics is the sole preserve of cold, heartless bastards.

Ours is busy catching it up at a fair rate of knots.

Pleas for a kinder, fairer and more polite politics have fallen on deaf ears and will continue to imo.

Trump has made it worse though. I admit that the insult used doesn’t necessarily need to be misogynistic. But in the context of Trumps ‘bin the woman’ politics, I tend to think it was. I may well be wrong but that’s what I think.

If it’s an ignore list, I’d agree too; if it makes it a more enjoyable experience on here, go for it.

Trump is a thunder **** but we have a thread for him already.

She got called a woman and doesn't like it, who would but is now claiming sexism etc yet a female fellow democrat calls a man a motherfucker she "has her back"?

I've zero time for the double standards on display from her or posters on here. One poster on here outraged is on another thread where a BLM Oxford leader calls a black man a coon and offers him outside supporting her. YCNMIU.

Its America and their politics is as dirty as it is imaginable and always will be.

Ignore doesnt work on here.

The outraged like the attention too much.

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.

Ive told you before I’m done with your chat, you’re a fucking child and cannot understand basic sentences, now off you pop and bother someone else.

 

[Ban-jani]

We are talking across each other. There is no further point in this discussion.

No there’s not.

The default is to presume someone isn’t a racist, I know the left struggle with that.

Calling a Latino woman a woman doesn’t make you a racist, if she didn’t deserve it it makes you rude.
