Misogynist much? Such a scary thing, an intelligent female...

You should see their demented orange orangutan... oh wait, that's your guy.

As much as I'm opposed to the PC culture, safe spaces, trigger warnings and all that, I think the first priority of every true patriotic American should be to get rid of Trump. He is tarnishing the reputation of the US beyond repair. I have always leaned toward the Left, but I welcome valid criticisms of where it might be going too far. Your criticism of the Left is disingenuous and devoid of logic and content

Poor snowflakes..afraid of the progressives when your man in the W.H is a Putin Puppet...Lolololololololol..

The crazy thing is that she's not 'extreme' left wing at all.

The 'extreme' tax rates she suggests are actually LESS than the tax rates for the wealthy before Ronald Reagan - and she proposes implementing them only on earnings in excess of 10 million a year.

Providing healthcare for all is a concept that the US rejects, but practically every other 'advanced nation' provides. Ditto for providing basic education for the population.

AOC's possition is what, 50 years ago, would be seen as the 'normal possition of politics'.

The Republican party has shifted so far to the right, and into the pockets of corporate business, that it has no interest whatever in the welfare of normal, US people.

The Democratic party has hung on to the Republican coat-tails, becoming more right wing that the Republicans themselves were a few decades back.

The US has a right wing Democratic party, and a hard right (maybe ultra right) wing Republican party - and people who express basic concepts of caring for those who need help, and actually suggesting appropriate taxation on the insanely rich, are declared 'hard left' when, in truth, THEY are the moderates.

I'm forever amazed by those that claim our country was set up as a Republic, and then to prove that idea they want to travel backwards to where only landowners and a select few could vote and also want to deny everyone healthcare and other modern needed benefits. It gets worse when those making $1800 a month (or less) think it is normal for the top percentage to have all the money and those that have not should just accept it and be happy. Then for some reason they believe we will all just go along with these 2 women being "looney" and more "radical." Sorry. Your Orange God is not the type of person we want. Are we "Left" and "leftist?" Left of what? Maybe stupidity.

What utter and complete nonsense. Neither of these women are radical left wing!

This woman will one day run for president. And she will be a more compelling candidate than Obama was. Get used to it.

A country whose government is for the people and by the people, wow! what a concept.

This clown is a troll. Don't waste your time.

Do you, could you, would you, Ever consider substantive, knowledgeable attacks?
Because the "child sex ring in the basement of the the pizza parlor" (that was built ona slab!!!) Is kinda stale.......

I'm not a fan of Cortez... She's a little out there... But Trump doesn't even have that many brain cells. He's NOT THERE AT ALL.

The left and right are getting more extreme as the GOP goes on its merry way of ignoring everything that comes along. They will all live to regret it when election time rolls around. My fear then is that you will have a bunch on the far left get elected in response to Trump's dumb ass!

Trump has no shot in 2020 as he won't even be running. He will resign within the next year!

Girl power!!! Woohoo!!! Say Good bye to misogynistic politicians.... And their supporters... Now things will get done ....

Times sure are changing aren't they?Just wait till 2020 ?

40 yrs ago Pelosi was having shots with the Republican party after work. She and other corporatists are the reason the Republican Party was/is so successful.

I love how anytime someone in politics demands that we put those who we actually vote for ahead of those who paid for their campaign as being radical, looney or a threat to our democracy.

Especially those who yell from the rooftops that there’s money to accomplish the 3 basic rights as a human. A safe shelter, food and for real clean and safe drinking water and just beyond healthcare and education.

I’m just saying that there’s enough abandoned homes to every American their own and to say that we’d be stripping away profit from the housing industry to that i ask the same industry that has extremely inflated the value homes to the point that in 2008 people just walked away from their homes because in some cases their mortgage was double of the taxable value.

Food isn’t a fucking luxury but yet it’s pricing is betted on the stock exchange. We have farmers who are paid to actually not grow crops so as to not unbalance the market when in fact that same money could be spend to purchase them and issue them out to those who need it or at least their damn children.

And water? The CEO of nestle actually said that it was a luxury and everyone is pissing themselves over a border wall and 2000 troops being brought back from Syria.

To that I say great! Let’s bring them all home and use them to combat the drug flow into this country and to replace our failing infrastructure. It’s actually pathetic that we’re protecting countries that actually use their funding to upgrade and repair theirs.

The 700 billion dollar question is how do you expect to pay these things?
I don’t know maybe we should start with having a defense budget that’s only 3% above that of the next highest spend country.
And stop subsidizing foreign countries and corporations that alone has to be around 500 billion.

Create a flat tax system that closes loopholes for the wealthy and corporations. Also do away with tax refunds. Just saying that if the government has enough money from your taxes that they feel compelled to give it back to you then most likely they’re taking than they should from you or they’re not spending it as they should.

And finally do a full legalization of marijuana and use the taxes from that to support a universal healthcare system. And if didn’t notice that I said support and not to pay for it all because the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries need to lower their cost to some of affordability.

So yeah if wanting what’s right for the American people then I can only hope that one day our government will be an asylum.

All they talk about is going back to the policies of the 40‘s and 50‘s that built the largest middle class in the history of the world at that point.

Why are women so radical?

I find it interesting and bemusing that the 'loony left' is what we in Europe call the hard right. With American right wing politics appearing as near fascist extremism!

That is a response to the insanely destructive ongoing descent of the political right that seems bent on tearing our democracy apart and creating an oligarchic kleptocracy..

I just realised that here, with most of you, I found my tribe (and only a few of you are ginger

OAC is to the left that Trump is to the right. Spout keyword nonsense till you get elected.

She has been a centrist all along. Now as for Cortez, a fire brand is needed to keep the flames alight. The right wing has Rep. Steve King.
