Right. Driving for Lyft may keep you from filing for unemployment and thus from being counted as unemployed, but it also offers no benefits and unstable pay.

No, she plans to pay for it by clawing back the $2 trillion giveaway to the nation’s richest that has already jacked up the deficit.

And when Cooper cited data showing record employment numbers, Ocasio-Cortez rightfully pointed out that there exists a stark difference between jobs and well-paying jobs.

Unlike most politicians, AOC doesn’t take money from corporations. Which means she can tell the truth to corporate media types like Anderson Cooper.

I’ve been wanting someone to put these points out there for a long time and she’s doing it.  I’m not calling for AOC 2020 at all, but she’s doing good work and making solid points.

I think term limits would be a far better solution to that problem.

Thanks to this asshole he’s going to make it even HARDER for women to break into e-sports as they’re going to be instantly assumed to be a guy or a fake of some kind. So yay, the harassment is going to get WORSE.

Indeed. Noam Chomsky once clarified that he never counseled “speak truth to power.” Those in power know the truth. Quite simply, they are deliberately manipulating facts in order to sow confusion and disarray among the rest of the population.

What I like about AOC is she is genuine and she is not here for any condescending shit from Old White Men™. She has priorities and ideas and you don’t a sense that she’s trying to come off as the world’s greatest expert on every issue...just that she knows what the problems are and that we need to get working on new…

I like her. A lot. She’s feisty, she’s bold, she’s fun, and modern, and she knows what she’s talking about. She’s what we need.

I just wanted to commend you on your extreme patience in your responses to these idiots who are clearly trying to misunderstand.  <3

My mom likes to tell a story about how a doctor sat her down and somberly told her she couldn’t have any more kids. To which she replied “I’ve got five, why do I want more kids?” And then she had one more anyway.

I would think anybody visiting a vulnerable or vegetative person in a nursing home, who is unable to speak or communicate for themselves, should probably be monitored. Maybe by video, if *nothing else*.

“Why can’t men just stop?”

Yeah, it’s BS, but I guess it’s “normal” to want kids and doctors seem to assume minds will change.  Had a friend who couldn’t get her tubes tied in college, nobody would let her until she was 25...  FFS it’s my damn choice.

I don’t believe that AOC needs a softball interview. She’s a politician, she should be able to defend her positions. But I do think a challenging interview can be accomplished without condescension, and given the condescension she’s been hammered with since she rose in prominence... maybe it’s just Anderson, or maybe…

There IS a way to pay for it! She literally just said raise taxes on upper class.

Since the start of Trump’s turn, with a Congress completely under his control, the national debt increased $2 trillion. But somehow, the burden of budgets and debt is always placed on the left. It’s time we let that shit die.

“What you are talking about, just big picture, is a radical agenda compared to the way politics is done now.”
