    As I've said many times, leftists lose either way.

    They're either defeated at the ballot box, or they get what they think they want, and then the real pain begins.

    Yeah no PAC money except for the few million that was shuffled into her manager's businesses.

    Seriously? Have you not been paying attention?

    In addition to the PAC dark money shenanigans, she got busted paying a salary to a "marketing consultant" who just happens to have the same name as her boyfriend. That same name just happens to appear of her list of office staffers too.

    AOC made a spectacular mockery of her vows of transparency and fighting dark money. Just about as soon as she was sworn in, she was caught with her hand deep in the dark money cookie jar.

    I agree....but the jobs that would have been created are not necessarily "low-paying".....though I would expect that some upper manager positions that would have been created might exceed $125k.

    Why? It is an incredibly successful company. Most republicans approve of success.

    Yes, they would be at least $15/hr. Amazon has already stated that $15/hr is the minimum they pay US workers....and I agree that many positions would likely not be much higher than that for opening wages.

    How can you trust IQ numbers coming from a govt that suppresses free speech and has few laws protecting its citizens? Any Chinese that come over here are wealthy, not your ordinary citizen. And whatever groundbreaking genetic research they're doing that ignores completely ****ed up practices the rest of the world wouldn't dare attempt, is dangerous as hell. Yes, I'm afraid the Chinese will be first to design super babies through genetic alterations that will completely **** over mankind, and bring about whatever version of Armageddon you care to imagine. Same with any super virus or technology that destroys us. Because they truly don't give a **** about the human race, as evidenced how they treat people. Its clear as day.

    Regarding patents and "producing" the most of this or that. It doesn't translate to value. They also produced entire cities that are completely empty. We already know they can produce a lot of something, because they have a lot of money, because they work their citizens like slave labor, but nothing they produce is of a quality we would call "good". Its mostly complete crap. Their social currency thing they've got over there is a Black Mirror episode, that's scary as hell. We can do anything they're doing over there, but we don't often because its so screwed up or breaks international laws. The IP theft is still inexcusable. Should have stopped all trade and business dealings with them a long time ago as soon as they started pulling that crap. The world was extremely stupid handing over the manufacturing base to them.

    Sorry, but they're not a society ANYONE in the world wants to emulate or really be a part of. People just want to escape. They only rose to power because they squash all freedom in their country and the people have no control over anything. And sadly our greedy corporations sold their souls to them to manufacture it all.

    She won with 110,318 votes from a district of 700,000 people......good luck when Pelosi starves that district of money.

    Why on earth should any city be bending over backwards to subsidize the richest company on earth, ran by the richest man on earth? Its beyond ludicrous.

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Less Popular Than Trump. But then Trump's the real deal and she's major league scattered.

    Look at how the Left has been promoting her via their ideologically loyal media outlets. She IS what the average Dem Party voter is going to be offered as standard political fare in the not too distant future. What did you THINK would happen when the Dem Party's leadership started going hard Left some years back? AOC is a direct product of decades worth of leftist propaganda. ENJOY.

    Leftists don't want to think about that. Fortunately for them the leftist loyal Mainstream Media won't keep reminding them. That must be a real comfort for the average Dem Party voter to know that MSNBC, CNN, and the three broadcast networks will tell them . . . what . . . to . . . think.

    So I'll take that as a 'no', you haven't been paying attention.

    You just assume that leftist politicians who say they're honest and incorruptible are exactly that, and anybody who says otherwise is an alt-right Trumpanzee.

    Bold strategy. Good luck with that.

    As dumb as she is, becoming Obama would actually be an improvement, but still a massive disaster for America. Better to stop making those types of mistakes and never allow another prog moron back into the White House...
