Ocasio-Cortez: Debate Request Is Sexual Harassment!

[OldLady]

.
She's just a nominee for a district in the Bronx. Why does the entire conservative establishment have its hair on fire over her?

Maybe because socialism/communism is accountable for almost 100,000.000 deaths in the world since 1917, yet that's not what's being taught in our government schools. She has no idea how any of her ideas will work, can be paid for, or what they'll replace. And yet the slimeball media has made her a rock star and a role model for young, and not so young, mush heads. The only saving grace is that now the democrat party has exposed itself for what it's always been....socialists.

Yet many of her policies have been enacted in very successful countries over the past century and no one has been murdered. Pure capitalism and pure socialism don't exist. A sensible pinch of this and pinch of that often makes a winning combination.

really? NK is at the table for the first time ever, sanctions have been increased on Russia and Iran, trade deals with China and the EU have been put in place that are fair to the USA. NATO members are paying their fair share finally. The stupid Paris climate accords have been cancelled, the stupid Iran nuke deal has been cancelled. I would say that he is doing an excellent job internationally.

but you are free to continue the lies and talking points, and continue to prove your partisan stupidity.

He gave away the farm to Baby Kim and Putin while accomplishing NOTHING.
But yes, he is certainly good at pissing off our allies and undoing international agreements leaving us powerless in the world.
Putin and Xi approve!

Nothing?

#1) No more tests or fly overs over Japan
#2) Killed 200+ Russian Mercs in Syria
#3) Imposed Crippling sanctions on Russia
#4) Armed the Ukranians (Obama would not do it)

I think your operational definition of "nothing" differs from the norm.

Crippling sanctions on Russia?
Please Dude - he did what he was FORCED by congress and political pressure to do a few minor things that he had NO interest in doing..
Nothing more - Nothing less
And we have 250 million dollars sitting there for him to use to stop Russia from ******* with our elections but refuses to use it.
Hell, too him a year and a half to have a damn cabinet meeting on the subject, which lasted half an hour before he ran out to make a tee time.
Don't go there

Ocasio-Cortez dismisses Ben Shapiro's debate offer, compares to 'catcalling'

Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday dismissed an offer from conservative commentator Ben Shapiro challenging her to a debate, saying she doesn’t “owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions.”

“Just like catcalling, I don’t owe a response to unsolicited requests from men with bad intentions,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted Thursday night. “And also like catcalling, for some reason they feel entitled to one.”

Shapiro fired back at Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter while defending his offer:

"Discussion and debate are not “bad intentions.” Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however."

My, my, my. That's the "future of the Democratic Party", is it?

I wonder if she whipped out her Woman Card and claimed it was "catcalling" when Stephen Colbert asked to interview her. That request was probably "unsolicited", too.

So much for her claims that Republicans are afraid of HER. Looks the other way 'round to me.

"Debate" and "interview" mean different things.

yes, they do. and legitimate candidates do both. She is extremely ignorant, makes idiotic proclamations, and comes off as a pathetic whining baby.

but that's the future of your party, Obama and Clinton killed the party of Truman and Kennedy and this is all you have left.

I haven't heard her--but I have a feeling that your opinion of her "proclamations" might be a bit colored by your disagreement with her basic premises. No?
She's young, she probably hasn't gotten her details worked out yet since she didn't expect to win the nomination, but you could be right. A lot of politicians don't have the details down, just the sound bytes. I seem to recall Trump was pretty famous for that during the campaign. Couldn't seem to get him to explain what in hell he was planning to actually DO except repeal and replace.....build that wall that Mexico will pay for.....stop all immigration of Muslims....make America safe again....
Bumper sticker campaigning isn't actually unheard of.

She supposedly has a degree in economics and stated that the reason the unemployment rate is low is because people work 2 jobs and 60 hr. work weeks. I don't care what side of the fence you sit on if you don't think that's a monumentally ignorant statement you got issues.

Her point is that people are having to work 60 hr/wk - 2 jobs to make ends meet. It's true in a lot of places. So the low unemployment doesn't necessarily mean things are rosy out there for everyone.

She doesn’t owe Ben Shapiro an answer, never mind a debate. He’s a blogger.

Meanwhile, Trumpy has had only one press conference as potus. What’s he afraid of?

The definition of poverty in the US is not true poverty world wide. These "poor persons" have running water, access to food, indoor plumbing, healthcare and education and almost all have smartphones. Business owners sometimes work 80hr weeks. I know I do. Working hard is not a bad thing.

Blogger? He runs the highest rated conservative podcast in the country. He is NOT a blogger. This may have been the stupidest post I have ever seen on these boards. Cudos to you.

 

[OldLady]

He would eat her alive, and she damn well knows it.
He is currently the best debater alive. Informed, smart, and lightning fast on his feet... this guy will make you look like an idiot even if you are right.
If I was a candidate for EITHER party, I wouldn't want to make an appearance in the same city as this guy let alone debate him one on one.
Having said that, she once again showed her true colors for calling him sexist with zero basis for it.

this guy will make you look like an idiot even if you are right.
Then why would anyone want to "debate" him?

Who else has Shapiro offered to "debate" among the Democratic candidates? Anyone? Why only her?

I am quite sure he would agree to debate any of them, including Pelosi and Schumer and Jackson-Lee. He gets attacked at college debates because the left cannot deal with the truth about their failed ideology.

 

[Synthaholic]

Who is Ben Shapiro?
Aren't debates usually between candidates? Is he running for something?

No, he just challenged her views.
He would probably eat her up. Especially considering she is extremely ignorant.

Name the ELECTED Republicans who have appeared on Rachel Maddow this year? She challenges their views every night.

What are they afraid of?

In fact, why won’t Ben Shapiro go on Rachel’s show and demonstrate how smart he is?

He has debated Sam Harris and Eric Weinstein. He has debated Cenk Uygur. He has debated Bill Maher. He has offered to debate many others including Michael Moore.

If he were invited he would. He also said he wants to go on the View. He went on the Bill Maher show and debated him. Using emojis is for children like my 12 year old. Please grow up and act like an adult if you want to engage in an adult conversation.

Keeping your house or your car is "making ends meet." Keeping the lights on. Paying for that car repair so you can continue to get to your two jobs.
I never said anything about poverty. I said "making ends meet."

Millions in the middle class struggle as well. College tuition is $50k/year per kid. Such is life. Doesn't make it bad. Giving stuff away for free via Gov't spend is not the answer. Unless you are a moron.
