Saw that tweet earlier today and went to the website, really really full-on with the anti union stuff, it was rather scary.

Future president.
She is direct and speaks to the Truth.
Has more guts than those corporate shills.

I agree. And she's untarnished by the regime so far.
She's incredible. But she will be fighting against the entire American establishment, not just the Republicans, if she wants to become president one day. More power to her. Here's hoping a lot of folk will be more politically engaged/woke by that time, so that she stands a chance.
Mitch seen departing the last congressional session.
Biden will be there to give a charming euology like he did for Strom Thurmond
Most Dems aren't much better than their GOP counterparts.
The US desperately needs AOC to be just the first of a new wave of politician if it has any hope.
Is he really saying he wants to privatise the public sector, because America already as socialist services that they take for granted including Military,Fire service ,public library's ,parks ect.

But she will have millions of people behind her in ways they haven't been a politician outside war time.
Of course. They've been trying to do that the last 30 years and its working. Its why the US pays a lot more for privatized military contractors who drain 3 times as much per job as if the military did it themselves - that is when they are actually doing the work and not just flat ripping off taxpayers like Halliburton's KBR division did frequently and then evaded false claims lawsuits with some technicality rubbish
true.
There will be a lot of pressure on her to run in 8 years time.
Yea. It was good she was 6 years off because she can't be pressed too quickly and instead will have a a good amount of time to built her network and allies and hopefully Congress will grow more progressive in this time
Meghan McCain: the postergirl for toxic femininity
According to McCain, the rise of antisemitism in America has little to do with white nationalism and everything to do with Ilhan Omar. McCain is obsessed with the Muslim congresswoman and has repeatedly misrepresented Omar’s comments about the Israel lobby in America.

She's too young to run this time... But is there age restrictions on a v.p. (I assume there is as the v.p. might have to become the president)
I think having her as president would be somewhat divisive as is being proved by trump you have to be president for everybody and being so far skewed to one side probably energises those on the other side a lot... Basically I think she might be too divisive for parts of America but I'm looking forward to her twitter spats with trump throughout the 2020 campaign
Lawsuit by 44 states accuses pharma giants of ‘Multi-Year conspiracy’ to hike drug prices by over 1,000 percent
That's capitalism for you.
That's capitalism for you.
Every policy position she supports is for the benefit of everyone.
Trump only supports racism.
saw a car today with a pizza hut thing on the roof, an uber sticker and a lyft sticker. the gig economy rules

No point to this. Protestors got what they wanted. You can't tell me that you expected students to stop their rave and change their POV after protests. Infact there is no reason for Palestinian group to explicitly protest in this manner and possibly incite violence. They should be allowed to do so but let's be honest about what they are trying to achieve with the same. Zero sympathy for protestors. Using nonsense like how dare they danced in front of destroyed Palestinian village names. You put those names there they didn't sought it out.
Fair play mate that is one hell of a shit take.
The whole issue is predicated upon the belief that any celebration of Israel state is endorsement of the war crimes committed by the state. There is no common meeting ground to be had between two groups. This is not like protestors taking on a neo Nazi rally. Like I said protestors wanted attention for their cause and some condemnation of Israel rave party students. They will get that, on Twitter at least.
Yes, the protestors did get what they wished for (plus some spit and getting arrested, which I think they didn't want). Since they have zero power, and are not using violence, the only weapon they have is shame.
And the connection the event has to the Israeli anniversary is that the main demand was a right of return, which is linked to Israel's founding in 1948.
What a bunch of pussies
Wouldn't surprise me if Broward county was one of the counties that was hacked.
of course the racist will say there was no evidence of 'manipulation'.
Just like his racist president.
they never learn
The strong will always defeat the weak. Democrats here were very weak. No-one rushes to vote for the weak.
I'll never, ever understand the argument that people shouldn't protest because it might mean other people will turn violent on the protestors. Like, what the hell do you think a protest is for? A protest isn't good protest if life goes on as normal for everyone. It's like when BLM did those protests on highways, and some people would invoke Martin Luther King of all people and claim that he wouldn't have wanted them to be so "in the way". Which is a really fecking bad take.
Spot on. Like when folks kept asking why folks were kneeling on the field instead of in the locker room or somewhere private. Like protest is supposed to be unseen or something.
