I’m just curious, why is everyone trashing her? Is it the same reason people people trash Trump?

@SimplyTracie Have you listened to her? She is in the twilight zone.
@SimplyTracie No, people trash Trump because [b]he’s[/b] racist and sexist. People trash AOC because [b]they’re[/b] racist and sexist. 😉

@bijouxbroussard Hmmm, seems right on target. 😊

@OwnerOfMany Do you listen to Trump?
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@SoiledKnickers You and OwnerOfMany are two peas in a pod. You two should get together and take a listen to Trump. 😝

@SimplyTracie Unfortunately...and though I don't agree with a lot of his ideas I have yet to hear him propose something that would bury the country in less than a decade. I can't say the same for AOC. I will take "bad" over "insane" any day.

@bijouxbroussard I am not defending Trump but I am curious. I have heard a lot of people scream he is racist but not one explain HOW he is racist. Would you tell me what he has done or proposed that is purely racist?
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@OwnerOfMany Well, take everything AOC talks about one at a time and ponder why she feels that way. Do the same for Trump.

Let’s consider Climate Change for starters. Do you believe (as Trump does) that it’s a hoax? If you say it’s a hoax, we should move on to a different issue.
OwnerOfMany · 90-99, M
@SimplyTracie Climate change is not a hoax but neither is it the catastrophe AOC and supporters are making it out to be. The climate changes, always has, always will. Yes, people are having an impact on it but the impact we are having causing a small percentage of acceleration in what would be its natural course. Suppose "we" wanted to fix this. The U.S. could not possibly change more than 15%to18% of the effect man is having even if we totally sank the country trying. And this "lead by example" shit is not going to work. The Green New Deal is a joke.

@OwnerOfMany Okie dokie. We should do nothing then. Gotcha.
@OwnerOfMany It goes back to the days when he and his father were being sued for refusing to rent properties to blacks in the 70s, his policies of having only white employees work with some of his wealthiest clients in Atlantic City, various comments that he’s made, like about not wanting blacks to handle his money (when a black accountant came to one of his businesses). Taking out a full page ad in the New York Times saying that the black and Latino men accused of assaulting the Central Park Jogger “deserved to be lynched”. When DNA exonerated them, after they’d served several years in prison, Trump suggested they remain imprisoned, saying “if they didn’t participate in that, they probably did other things”. Things he has said (and continues to say) about his predecessor. Times when he’s said he wants “more European immigrants”, including the 2018 comment about excluding people from “sh*thole countries” on the African continent, Haiti and El Salvador. He once said about Nigerians, “if they come here, they won’t want to go back to their huts”. Then there’s what he [b]hasn’t[/b] said, never definitively denouncing or condemning white supremacists in any serious way. He’s even said, in the face of increasing hate crimes that “‘white supremacy’ isn't a big problem here”. And I’m certain to him and many of his supporters it’s [b]not[/b], they’re fine with it. But one way one knows, is that white supremacists believe he speaks for them, and have said so.

@bijouxbroussard Thanks for the reply and the info. I was looking for an answer and I got one...FINALLY.
OwnerOfMany · 90-99, M
@SimplyTracie That is not what I said. This is not a "all or nothing" situation. And I have yet to see how plunging into a full socialist country will do anything for climate change.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@OwnerOfMany Well, it isn’t all or nothing but simple striving to make the planet better for everyone. But it has to start sometime and we should start sooner than later.

Deregulating our factories is going the wrong direction in my opinion.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@OwnerOfMany You must think Greta Thunberg is a horrible person too. Way worst than AOC huh?
OwnerOfMany · 90-99, M
@SimplyTracie On the contrary. She is an intelligent girl for her age who has conviction. There are a couple of things wrong though. She does not know enough to be taking the stance she is taking and the media is using her as a pawn to push an agenda. She hasn't figured that out yet.
I give that kid far more credit than I do AOC.

@SimplyTracie Shes smart ,media savvy and good looking,seems to scare the Old Guard"
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@OwnerOfMany Ms. Greta has a single focus whereas AOC has a lot more on her plate. However, their message is clear... we need to get smarter and work harder on solutions to this issue.

Many of these Climate Change deniers should stop being scientist and listen up to what the experts are saying.
OwnerOfMany · 90-99, M
@SimplyTracie The climate is changing, always has, always will. There in nothing we can do to stop it and very little we can do to slow it down. Even if we blacked out the US and stopped every micron of pollution that would not stop but 12% to 14% in the entire world. Anything less is negligible.
All politicians know how to do is throw money at a problem, of course they will get their percentage for talking about it. Just like pollution credits, a bunch of bullshit! You show me people getting together, not government, and actually coming up with something that is genuine and not just trying to make more money for the 1% and I will get behind you all the way. But all these bullshit suggestions and insane ideas won't stop or help anything.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@OwnerOfMany Yes I read that the temp was way hotter about 5 billion years ago.

And recently as last year, Trump went outside and it was snowing. Remember that tweet? He asked “where’s the Global Warming?” 😂😂😂

Yes! I know it fluctuates. Even daily.

That is what everyone is saying. I just said it. Get smarter. Work harder. The problem is half the population believes as you do, “there ain’t no problem to solve”. Like, “WTF is this greenhouse gas BS anyway?” “It’s all just a hoax”
OwnerOfMany · 90-99, M
@SimplyTracie No...I am not saying there is no problem to solve, I am saying man won't solve it! Man being the greedy gluttonous pricks they are will use the problem to pack their pockets. The climate will continue to change by nature but the shit mankind is doing is accelerating it. MAN WILL NOT STOP! There is a problem but there is little the US can do IF they tried!
OwnerOfMany · 90-99, M
@SimplyTracie May I send you ONE private message?
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@OwnerOfMany Grrr, we shouldn’t take that position. Our position should be, we can and we must do what we can. Maybe Ms. Greta can change Trump’s mind about climate change. Who knows 🤷‍♀️
