The Gren New deal is as hopeless as anything I have seen.. unlike the tax bracket idea I don’t think it even furthers discussion. I have to. Think about the out touch with the nation idea
I do like her vitality and energy, and more often than not right wing criticism ends up up backfiring on the the right. i@Ynotisay

@Northwest I'm an atheist as well so my take is F all religion. Especially as it relates to politics. That said, discrimination, hatred and threats can't stand. Whether religion is involved or not.
During the Obama years I actually felt a sense of pride as "we" raised our stature throughout the world. And now with Trump, as you said, "we" are in a different place. But I don't feel the same sense of ownership as an American now. It's pretty clear there's an "us vs. them" divide. And I'm good with that. There's right and wrong, good and bad and honesty and deceit. So, for me, anything that has the potential to get in the way of the greater good is a non-starter. And that's why I'm right with you with the Bernie Bros. They cost "us" an election and now we're all paying for it. They didn't get their way so they stomped their feet, picked up their toys and went home.
So what I want is these young, inexperienced, (yet passionate) elected officials, AND their emotional supporters, to stop and consider the bigger picture. With social media we now live in an age of faux-persecution and faux-outrage. I see it as a selfish jack off. So if people want to talk about things like fairness, opportunity and a level playing field for all, then they need to take the REAL steps to achieve that. And that's through legislation and legislation is hard. It demands compromise. If you're not willing to do that then you're in the wrong business in the wrong country.

@monte3 Good point. I actually thought, "Well, maybe she's just trying to push the ball down the field" with the New Green Deal. But I don't think that's what it was. It was pie-in-the-sky thinking and really sophomoric. It was a grandstand move and I'm just not comfortable with political grandstanding. Especially when it creates internal dissent.
Well, as I understand it, Netanyahu won...game changer? That being said. I believe, (just my opinion) Omar is pushing an agenda for the Islamists who believe in Sharia and Jihad.@ChipmunkErnie

@soar2newhighs I believe he won, but I also think he's still under criminal investigation. No wonder he gets along so well with Trump.
Could be...but I like them both for two reason if nothing else...the security and sovereignty of their respective nations.@ChipmunkErnie

her comments weren't anti-semitic or against America unless you take them out of context. but the media and politicians choose to do that and then they spread around this hate born out of bad reporting and people not actually reading everything they said. and then people turn around and are hypocrites when the same is done to people they support.

Please explain the comments IN CONTEXT and help us. @hales

Who really gives a fuck about her and her alleged "anti-semetic" remarks. If she's got a hard on for supporters/funders of Israel in the US Gov't, let her take it to them directly and play the game.

You should probably clarify whatever it is you're talking about.

What did she do?
