Shameless, fawning, Alexandra O Cortez fan thread

timewaster

Yes, I suppose you are then.

So, with the announcement of Sanders' presidential run, I guess that moving forward we can look forward to the edifying spectacle of the American left eating itself in increasingly unhinged rounds of backbiting and toxic identity politics.... Woohoo

So, with the announcement of Sanders' presidential run

not because of him, no. he tends to talk economic talk.

Sanders slams identity politics as Democrats figure out their future

I didn't say it was because of him. What i meant was that now he's in the race, all the backbiting, fingerpointing and IDPOL toxicity that hung around the 2016 dem pres primary campaign like a miasma will be making a comeback.

Peter Daou says he and his HRC crew are going to play nice this time round, if that's any help ?

Not really. It's going to happen. Whether by genuine IDPOL types or platoons of Russian/US Rightwinger trolls/bots using the same language and angles of attack.

Can't be arsed to speculate about the Democratic party candidates more than a year before primary season even begins. Will wait until the pack is whittled down. Lots can happen in the months to come. I hope the focus is on policies and not personalities though, or the US will never get out of the shit it's in.

This come up yet? Seems a pretty big deal. Wanted to do an Anders Brevik with bells on, and seemed to be amassing enough hardware to make a fist of it.

Coast Guard, White supremacy officer planned terror attack

I'm so old, I can remember the days when a story like this would have made the headlines and been the top feature on the evening news. Now it's just a, "Meh."

Not directly connected to the thread topic but I didn't think it was necessarily deserving of it's own thread so I did a search and found her name mentioned in this one:

The German invasion of the ussr saw 3.8m belligerents invade the Soviet Union which is more than the US have deployed against communists at any one time

Shovelling billions to the Pentagon, the largest anti-communist fighting organisation in history
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joins House Democrats in vote for Trump war budget

That's a pretty disingenuous headline, no? The House Democrats (mostly) voted to approve the entire Federal budget.

So "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joins House Democrats in vote to continue the Medicaid Reimbursements and Title X entitlements that allow Planned Parenthood to continue operations" is another headline they could have picked.

v weird La Rouche - ist sh*t this .... wasn't much AoC could do.

to then see Trump gloating about it, as if the troll wasn't an obvious troll was predictably unhinged, but still depressing / alarming

 

[Indeliblelink]

I want one of those t-shirts though.

AoC going to be the big surprise guest @ " Bernie's Back' rally on sat, + squad about to endorse ?

Not sure how much difference it'll make tbh, feels like it's Warrens to lose at this stage ( even favourite, Biden 7-2, Bern in to 10-1 from 16-1 )

I totally fancy her.

When she's running for President in three or four election cycles time - that's gonna feel a bit weird. (She's not eligible until 2024, I think)
