AOC endorses Islamist for mayor of NYC

[g5000]

I've heard her talk. No, I don't think she's particularly intelligent. The reason why people call her "The Bartender" was before she got elected in a deep blue district, that was her most significant accomplishment in life.

And look at her now. The number one sought after endorsement.

"You've come a long way, baby."

She's a lot smarter than the former game show host. A lot smarter.

She may end up as our first female president.

So really, the "Persuadeables" are probably only about 8% of the electorate, once you take out that 1-2% who always vote third party to feel special about themselves.

The "Persuadables" are much less than 8 percent of the electorate. A much higher percentage stays home on election day.

No one truly inspires the electorate. These days, they inflame the electorate.

We are more polarized than ever. So much so, that if someone comes up with an actual good idea, the other side refuses to listen.

I think the last time both sides listened to each other was during the Clinton administration. At least until the Republicans put him under oath and grilled him about his sex life. That's when our country began to go off the rails.

Could you imagine Republicans putting the president under oath today and grilling him about his sex life until he lied?

This is not the same Republican Party. That party died a long time ago.

The Democrats have always been yanked around by the far left. That's why when I left the dead GOP, I registered as Independent.

Well duh.

So, shouldn't candidates hold the positions that their voters want them to?

 

[Synthaholic]

When the people feel like no one gives a shit about them, that opens the door wide for demagogues like Trump and AOC.

Fixed.

Honestly, if she were the Democratic nominee, I'd vote Republican.

Okay, that's really not a good answer, because the no-shows have always been a high percentage of the electorate.

Voter turnout in United States presidential elections - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The highest turnout of the Voting Age Population has ever been 63.5% in 1960.

I think the last time both sides listened to each other was during the Clinton administration. At least until the Republicans put him under oath and grilled him about his sex life. That's when our country began to go off the rails.

Really? I would say it started with Nixon and Watergate. The Presidency has never regained the stature it lost under Nixon.

Didn't they kind of do that with Stormy Daniels?

he Democrats have always been yanked around by the far left. That's why when I left the dead GOP, I registered as Independent.

I think it went to a more sensible center between Clinton and Obama.

I agree that Adams is a disaster. I will even go so far as to say that pinning their centrist hopes on a disgrace like Cuomo was a bad decision.

But as Margaret Thatcher once said, "Socialism only works until you run out of other people's money." Especially on a city scale, where all these businesses just have the option to relocate somewhere else.

Corporations aren't moving out of NYC. To go where? They can open offices anywhere else they wish, in addition to NYC. They want and need to be there. And taxes aren't his only source of revenue, as already posted.

I actually like Andrew Cuomo. He was an effective governor, and has the personality to stand up to bullies. He's just not the guy to run NYC, which he doesn't live in, hasn't lived in since forever, and is not in tune with the city at all. His brother is an asshole, though. Just a huge fake.

Should a candidate tell voters that they each will get a new car free-of-charge? I bet they’d like that position too.

 

[Hollie]

Sounds like good ideas to me.

You have no problem with "free stuff" for rich people -- like the billions of dollars in subsidies the Federal government gives to oil and gas companies every year. You are a dirt stupid sucker with a capital S.

You have a problem with your low IQ slogans of " free stuff" for rich people.

As expected. You can't identify any "free stuff" for rich people.

Typical for low IQ types like yourself.

We have lots of office space here in Chicago!!!!

The problem with any source of revenue is that someone is going to have to pay them. We have a similar problem here in Chicago, where Brandon Johnson is raising taxes, fees, and throwing up more street cams to catch people speeding, etc. My brother and sister, both lifetime Chicago Residents, are moving out because they've had quite enough.

Sorry, man, Cuomo ruined his rep when he played grab-ass and lied about how many people died in nursing homes from Covid. (Actually, sending them to the nursing homes wasn't necessarily a bad idea; they were better equipped than some leaky hospital ship Cheeto Hitler sent as a publicity stunt, but trying to cover up the death statistics was a problem.)

I'm sure they would, but a car isn't a necessity. Access to food is.

 

[Hollie]

Of course they won't leave. Billionaires are greedier than you and me are, ironically. I mean, look at the orange rapist billionaire, still scamming.

They might go to jail. I mean, look at the fat slob, Letitia James facing mortgage fraud.

Go home and get your shine box, boy.

This exemplifies what a stupid ***** you truly are.

It wasn't about treating the already infected, it was about keeping those NOT infected NOT infected.

You are a scumbag. An honest to God low life piece of ******* shit. Trump busted his ass to get, not only those Hospital Beds, but the United States Navy Hospital Ship. https://www.defense.gov/News/News-S...sns-comfort-to-join-new-yorks-covid-19-fight/


Is it below your standards, too? *****.

You are scum. Through and through. You have no redeeming values as a human being. Total and complete filth. Typical of a Nazi executioner. Lying, despicable scum

 

[JoeB131]

This exemplifies what a stupid ***** you truly are.

It wasn't about treating the already infected, it was about keeping those NOT infected NOT infected.

This could easily be done by isolating the infected within the facility. Probably safer than a Hospital, which didn't have the beds for the non-serious cases.

Is it below your standards, too? *****.

No, it was below medical standards, which is why no hospital would release a non-COVID-19 patient to it. (It couldn't take Covid Patients, because it wasn't set up for that. It was supposed to free up hosptial beds, but they couldn't handle those cases, either. The ship only took 25 patients before it was sent back.)

This is typical Trump. All Hat, no Cattle.

Um. Chatbot. The fact is, it wasn't done. This is typical democrat incompetence.

When it comes to biological warfare, we are not that experienced on how to deal with it. And those who are like Fauci and the CDC leadership, lied and lied some more.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, yet again, proves she's a kingmaker in the Democratic Party and know what the base wants.

AOC is not a democrat. She's a democratic socialist.

I guess I stumped you. Not a difficult task.

Trump let it spread with zero quarantine of inbound Chinese, from China. 40,000 foreign visitors, no precautions.

So STFU about incompetence.

She's freaking dingbat

Guess you’re too dumb to know that ignorant voters pick the candidate who promises them free stuff that can’t be delivered.
