Got it, the only way to have a good economy and a thriving middle class is to steal more money for the government to waste by picking winners and losers, developing more programs to create bubbles in housing, health care, and higher education.

Notice how I managed to type that without making personal attacks to try and belittle you?

Exactly. The difficulty with AOC from my perspective though is that she's generally adored by the media (or was until very recently) which can propagate into public opinion and generate support for her even though her policy ideas are certifiably insane. Rep King on the other hand has been rightfully demonized on national tv/news media for his harmful rhetoric and racist comments.

False dichotomy.

My goodness! Are you implying that the media is biased in favor of the Democrats? Slanderous!

Why wasn’t I informed of this before? All this time I believed that the spirits of Cronkite and Murrow were still venerated in our schools of journalism. Now you imply that SNL and Steven Colbert form the acme of undergraduate ambition? That the millenials yearn solely for a cheap laugh and a quick buck?

Say it ain’t so.

Criminals watching criminals.

It fills their days and diverts the attention of the peasants.

They had to find someone dumber than Maxine to put on the committee. Mission accomplished!
