@fatman98: "Socialist Government" ??? What does that mean?
Socilaism is an economic construct. We can have socialism while maintaining a democratic government. As a matter of fact we already do. America already has many socialistic elements to our economy like public schools, paved roads, labor unions, social security, medicare, housing subsidies, stimulus checks, etc.... So you unfortunately don't know what you are talking about.
Plus, the US is not Venezuela. Nor are we Nazi Germany, the USSR, or Cambodia. We have a democracy in place. We can offer medicare for all without disturbing our democratic government or elections. Its all so simple. The only reason people usually resist is because right wing media has used the word Socialism as a scare word.
@fatman98: I have seen every interview with her. She is always talking about things like healthcare and education, and equal pay which in your eyes probably makes her a dirty socialist and a bad human being.
Maybe if she talked about killing people, staging a coup, and overturning the will of the people, you might respect her more.
@lagbolt68: All very logical although I still don't understand the Bernie story or where you got that info from or how it even comes close to what Trump has wrought. But I disagree. If I tell my kid that the only way to achieve his goal is to murder someone, and then he goes out and murders someone, then I am just as much at fault. According to you, Charlie Manson should never have been held accountable for his cult's actions.
What we have here is a very unique situation. Trump's lie of voter fraud and how he perpetuated it and encouraged his base countless times is unprecedented. To me, Trump in this case is no different than Charlie Manson. And any of his supporters are equally guilty. Greene and Boebert should be behind bars nevermind making decisions as US Congresswomen.
And regarding AOC, everytime I hear her talk its always about making life better for all Americans. people may disagree with how to achieve what she wants and they may even think that she is not approaching her topics in the best way, but there is no way anyone can say she is a bad person for wanting things like healthcare and education for ALL Americans. And "Socialist" does not equal "bad" except to programmed conservatives. Bottom line is that while AOC is talking about healthcare and equal pay, people like Marge Greene are talking about insurrection, hatred of black people, hatred of Jews, and killing political opponents by putting bullets in their heads. There is a big difference.
AOC, IMO, is one of the most intelligent and level headed people in Washington. This new radical Trumpism from the right needs to end.
But thanks for clarifying your position. I don't think that all Trump supporters are bad people, but if they can't see his "voter fraud" fairytale for the huge lie that it is, or if they are unwilling to see what an authoritarian troublemaking threat he is to our country, then they are just as bad as the insurrectionists who "thought they could use violence to overturn the will of the people."
I love this woman. Not only is she extremely intelligent. She actually cares about people.
Its amazing how she wants healthcare and education and equal pay and these are the things that Republicans call her a "dirty socialist" for. Or they call her anti-American. But Marge Greene can call school shootings as fake, criticize the families of victims, plan the assassination of fellow Representatives, participate in an insurrection, plan the destruction of all Jews, and accuse those Jews of building orbiting platforms that shoot lasers at California forests to start wildfires and that is what Republicans consider heroic and venerable.
I guess when you live in a country where the President is praised for inciting his followers to start an insurrection based on a sustained lie, anything is possible.
