A- for AOC saying about trump "it's all about the con"

You go AOC!

My only nit-pick would be that we should start using a term like "oligarchy" or "plutocracy" to describe the direction we're head in:

Ocasio-Cortez Explains How Trump's Racism Works 'As Cover For The Con'
She's very short on analysis....as in not having any.
Yet another example of Despicables vs Deplorables
feces flinging. And the usual suspectaroos lap it up.

Trump has done some awful, nay heinous things.
Her brainless bashing distracts from them.

In case no one noticed., today is Alliteration Day
on RF. It will be the first of many.

Could true sometimes - in this case I think she's spot on.
The problem with her saying something which people really like,
is that when there's no analysis, it's pure preaching to the choir.
Some day, she will become useful when she can interest readers
of opposing agendas....then she'd be interesting & even persuasive.
Till then, she's irrelevant entertainment & cheering.

A thought....
If she'd calculated the benefits of tax changes vs the loss of SALT
deductions for Trump's wealthy cronies, that would be interesting.

Who needs analysis when you are preaching to the choir. Works for Trump, why not AOC. :D

What? You want substance in your politician. Must be libertarian.

Funny you should mention that.
I'd earlier speculated that AOC is a new breed of politician enabled by
Trump's success. Inexperience, arrogance, ignorance, & the propensity
to frequently express all 3 such qualities is becoming the norm.

Btw, libertarians have no substance.
The platform does, but not our politicians.
Losers all they are.

I think that America was likely never a Democracy. Rather I think it has been an oligarchy that is sliding or has slidden into a Dictatorship? As far as I can see, the "Elected" officials in D.C. are there to cash in. There simply is no excuse whatsoever for Trump to have remained in office for so long.

It is likely that Mitch Mcconnell is the de facto Dictator in America. Trump is just the Organ Grinder Monkey.

So she's up against a "sound-bite" culture. This particular sound bite from her seems powerful given the realities of our short-attention-span-theater audience.

I thought that too in the beginning of his term. He was throwing smoke bombs left and right to hide the cons. I thought he might have filled his pockets in a year or two and then resign. I was wrong - and so is AOC now. Cancelling the Iran treaty didn't bring him money and it wasn't a smoke bomb. It was only motivated by his racism. He wants to destroy the legacy of Obama and he has become addicted to the power.

"Racism" is so broad these days.
Racist against whom....Iranians, Obama,
Democrats, Zoroastrians, Muslims, Europeans?

Oac is an idiot.

Whenever I hear her I figure that if I go with the opposite of what she claims, I'll be closer to fact. Anybody who tells me that *I* must abandon my car, use public transportation and not fly anywhere AT THE SAME TIME she uses private airplanes (and insists upon military transport) when and wherever SHE goes, does not deserve attention.

You realize you just made a series of inaccurate strawman arguments right? You ought to read the GND, it's short.
