Your obsession with AOC makes you look deranged, not informed. She literally does not matter to anyone but twitter leftists and hysterical right wingers.

the single dumbest sitting congressman in history

She is a freshman rep, and the right’s obsession with her is completely out of proportion to how much power and influence she actually has. If you think that arguing with her is in any way a refutation of actual science, I pity you. You tell on yourself when you bring her up as if it’s even remotely germane to the…

The right has to argue with non-experts so they can look like they’re winning arguments. Actual scientists can deconstruct denialist talking points incredibly quickly and easily.

and man-made carbon emissions are only ~0.5% of greenhouse gases

as much more of it (and likely more coal)

It would really help denialists tonot look foolish if they would bother to learn basic scientific terms.

human contribution of CO2 is about 3%

That’s where every scientist seems to have differing opinions.

It’s bonkers. These people are attacking AOC’s intelligence from the side of Inhofe, Gohmert, and the current president.

Good thing AOC is the primary scientific authority on ACC for anyone outside of Twitter and right-wing news sites.

“Whiny tax-dodger still mad his team never wins tournaments”

Also rich considering how long her father (and only reason for any public platform at all) spent in a literal cage.

Try reading again: “I have little doubt some are trying to make it a thing, but it’s not exactly synonymous with the right.”

I have never seen a far-right person use that flag. The Gadsden Flag, sure. I have little doubt some are trying to make it a thing, but it’s not exactly synonymous with the right.

Yeah, this one struck me as a pretty big overreaction.

I legitimately do not understand how you can look at the history of the US since Reagan and come away thinking that most of the population is secretly socialist but doesn’t know it yet.

Yeah, I work in Brussels and am really sick of hearing how Sanders is conservative compared to here. It’s total bullshit. These types should check out the party platforms of the European People’s Party (the main center-right bloc in the EU) and tell me how much they look like Sanders’ plans.

Sanders is considered center-right in the EU because the policies he’s proposing are center-right in the EU.

I think it’s mistake to assume that all of Sanders support in 2016 came from people who consider themselves avowed socialists; many just wanted a “not Clinton” candidate.
