No reasonable person would lend ant weight to your version of her comments. Frankly, ur just not challenging yourself enough.
Well, as soon as someone did, you'd call them unreasonable. It's OK. I'm not mad. You don't have to be either. Channel that hate into thinking more rigorously next time. Ask yourself- would you be mad if a female politician that you like had done this jiu jitsu to a male pundit that you don't like? Like what if John Stewart was pestering Sarah Palin for a debate?

What actually might have happened to Sarah Palin is not relevant to my question. The question is, what if Jon Stewart had been pestering her for a debate and she responded with the exact same language AOC used? Purely hypothetical. How would you feel?

Lol.
A cop out is a cop out . If a conservative resorted to this kind of intellectual dodgeball I would criticize it.
I can't say the same for some people..
Lol.
Don't worry about facts context or reality... Just try to fit into my narrow hypotgetical. Lol.

Not surprising. Didn't she make something like $40k/yr before being elected? You'd be lucky to find a broom closet in DC affordable on that income
Doesn't socialism extend to shared apartments?
"There are many little ways in which our electoral system isn’t even designed (nor prepared) for working-class people to lead."
Says the former bartender, now congresswoman.
She may be better spoken to ole Maxine, but Ocasio-Cortez may be the dumbest member in Congress.

Haaaaaaave you met Pocahontas?
Shows how dumb certain segments of society have become that a person this stupid could get elected.
I am curious if a socialist making 174K a year will use any of that money to help pay down someones student loan debt? She will leave congress as a millionaire in a few years.
That's one of those stupid arguments like saying you can't be pro taking refugees unless you move one in with you.
I bet they start a GoFundMe account for her, then she’ll hire Blasey Ford’s financial advisor.

It's easy to be for something detrimental when you aren't the one paying the price.
Who's paying the price? Surely as a higher tax payer she would be 'paying'.
Loading up kids with student debt to educate themselves will never help win the economic race.

You shared that you had some serious health problems on another thread. I hope you live much longer. at least long enough to stop seeing Life as a zero-sum game. There is not a loser for every winner.

Of course, the Left always wants someone else to pay for everything. It's always someone else's money.
