All of which has got NOTHING to do with a simple burden of proof regarding what AOC said about Reagan. A matter of history, a matter of fact to be seen.
Have you forgotten these Repub billboards? http://assets.atlasobscura.com/article_images/34820/image.jpg
Ever heard of Lauren Underwood? You can read about her HERE. You'll have to, because she never gets any press - even though she's a part of the same freshman class Occasional Cortex is. Why isn't Lauren a household name like Occasional Cortex? They have the same amount of seniority. It's because - 1) AOC has been covered by the press in a way Lauren could only dream of. 2) AOC goes out there and seeks attention in a way Lauren likely would never think of. 3) AOC says stuff that's patently absurd that Lauren - well, we don't know, maybe Lauren believes the exact same things AOC does but she doesn't say it out loud. 4) AOC has been declared by the press - whether anyone likes it or not - the Kingslayer of Congress because she took out a senior Dem in Congress. I mean, it isn't the right that's made her out to be this boss-level congresschick - it's the press. It's the left. You're right, she's just this low-level prog. But she's getting press far beyond her station and it's because she keeps speaking out in ways Underwood doesn't, she's bucking the system in ways Underwood isn't, she's seeking attention in ways Underwood isn't, and she's tweeting in ways Underwood isn't. I've mentioned that ridiculous article where people were gushing over AOC's love for press-on nails before - it isn't the right pushing her into the spotlight. It's her. It's the press that loves her. And when you seek that kind of press, it's only natural people on the right are ALSO gonna discuss her - especially when she says patently idiotic things. The right isn't discussing Underwood because the press, the left, and Underwood herself didn't set Lauren up as some kind of titan, as some kind of spokeslady for what the left represents. For all we know, Underwood's beliefs are even more out there than Occasional Cortex' - but IF they are, she's smart enough not to draw attention to it. What you call an obsession, we see as discussing someone who keeps insisting on inserting herself into the news cycle. And this IS Current Events; so long as she keeps making the news, we're gonna keep discussing her. I'm also at a loss as to why you see it as fear when - as I've noted elsewhere - you've got everyone here on the right happy to keep her talking. I've seen the left say the same thing about Trump, they're happy for him to keep tweeting because he says some pretty indefensible things when he gets on a Twitter rant which makes him and by extension the GOP look bad. Sauce for the goose - sauce for the gander. No one on the right here sounds fearful of her at all, and the fact that her numbers are dropping indicates that the more she speaks, the less people like her and the ideas she represents. When you hear posters say she's the gift that keeps on giving for the right, that's what they mean - and it's hard to counter that argument. She really IS helping the right every time she says something stupid.
Just wake up? You seem to have missed what's happening to your healthcare thanks to the republicans utter failure to "repeal and replace" as they had been attempting to do for the past 8 years and despite having majority control of the government? Kaiser reports that the number of uninsured increased in 2017 by a few hundred thousand after a run seeing 20 million more americans covered under the ACA.
Miniscule numbers with most covered by their private insurers. Not a valid argument. Competition to fix a broken leg? Competition to treat a cancer patient? Competition to treat heart disease? I agree stupid rules and regulations don't contribute to progress, but the majority of those rules and regulations are anything but stupid and are responsible for saving millions of lives. You smart enough to know which ones are which?
I agree its a gift to the right every time she says something stupid. Just like its a gift to the left every time trump says something stupid, mean, disrespectful or bullshit. Works both ways, eh?
AOC cuts the Conservative Sacred Cow..... Well after 30 pages.....we now know the only thing AOC cut. Was some hot air that rippled her skirt. She doesn't know anything about Reagan other than what her Socialist Handlers told her and knows she wasn't even born when Reagan was around. Got it wrong once again and now after all of this. Took a dump in the polls. Which of course just like a leftist. Blames everybody else for that happening. But hey.....this is the left Rising Star.
It's got nothing to do with the education system and everything to do with the low IQ of the 50 million Hispanics who have come to this country in the last 50 years and breed like rabbits. https://www.publicschoolreview.com/blog/white-students-are-now-the-minority-in-u-s-public-schools
Still another clue that AOC isn't very bright. Ronald Reagan is one of the most beloved of recent presidents among average Americans. Trying to make points on him is only going to cause her approval rating to drop further. Even Obama recognized that Reagan was a great leader and gave him words of praise. AOC's historical revisionism won't go over well.
The current president proves that you don't need to be smart to succeed in modern American politics. You just need to know how to manipulate the press.
I’m going to stick with the explainatin of low achievement on culture not IQ The parents are often uneducated and come from countries with spanish cukture rather than the English system we have in America Throw in the problem of low quality teachers and too many adminstrators and its no wonder so few graduate
If trump is an idiot that makes lefties in politics and the media even dumber because he beats them so easily This is the standard smear that liberals have used against republicans since eienhower was president
