AOC: Not only is it not normal, it is internationally embarrassing and delegitimizing to the US because for all the billions and trillions this body authorizes in the name of national security we can’t even keep our kids safe from their schools being turned into a war zone
@CGoustin @Coronabubbles That’s right! I forgot about that. They actively pushed for him, thinking he’d be the easiest to beat. Although, just about any other candidate probably could’ve beaten him, at the time.
@Coronabubbles In 2016, we had the opportunity of nominating our most popular candidate, but instead, Democratic Party Loyalists, chose our least popular. And, her strategy was to pander to Republicans, who hate, and would never vote for her, while simultaneously snubbing the left.
@mario_santosmar@Guiliani1994@MiaFarrow@elonmusk 1945-1975: When we taxed the rich the most, and helped the poor, the middle class grew, giving us the best economy we ever had. Friedmanism (Reagan Revolution) destroyed it.
This leaked opinion also confirms something we’ve known for a while: that our court has been politicized and weaponized by those who want to take our rights away—and they will not stop at abortion if a draft like this becomes final.
@mario_santosmar@Guiliani1994@MiaFarrow@elonmusk Actually, it's the right who is lying about wealth creation. That's why they fight so hard against unions and raising wages, because they can't create extreme wealth without extreme exploitation of everyone else.
@Guiliani1994@mario_santosmar@MiaFarrow@elonmusk You're wrong. When we taxed the rich and increased aid to the poor, that was the best economy we ever had. The Reagan Revolution (Friedmanism) destroyed it. Now, you're trying to blame policies that haven't been implemented and haven't even been passed.
