What is your evidence for this conclusion. Are you another CD poster with the magical psychic power to read minds?

Aren't people allowed to change their minds? I once read that that AOC, as an econ major, became interested in Adam Smith and libertarian economics, as young econ majors are often wont to do.

But in her university days, Ocasio-Cortez was a quite a different political animal. In a student journal called BU Culture, the politician was especially dismissive of feminism, noting that “the terms ‘feminism’ and ‘empowerment’ don’t seem to capture the priorities of our generation, and the words themselves sound like relics from the past, frumpy and outdated.”
At some point she became a persuaded socialist. Does this prove that AOC "holds her finger up to see which way the wind is blowing." If not, why so in the case of Owens, but not AOC. Rachel Doleazal is just a loon who does not even belong in the conversation.

She changed her mind in under two years. That don't strike you as suspicious. I think she was seeing the traction that Diamond and Silk had and tried to do the same just more traditionally.

It doesn't strike me as suspicious. What are the general time limits within which a person is allowed to change political views?

Do you find AOC 'suspicious' if she went from being a libertarian-leaning econ major to a persuaded socialist in under two years.

NO it isn't suspicious. People do it all the time. Look at how many prominent Democrats who were all for a wall and cracking down on illegal immigration have changed their minds.

Look at all those republicans who were all for getting rid of Obamacare suddenly couldn't vote to repeal it.

I used to be a hardcore supporter of Israel. I would make excuses for them like the owner of an undisciplined dog. Then one day I educated myself, instead of listening to our government. Now I see them for what and who they really are. Disloyal, opportunists who manipulate our politicians like they are puppets on a string.

I like Candice Owens. Her politics are a bit right for me, but I like that the limousine liberal crowd are powerless to guilt her.

Do you approve of Omar then or think she is anti-Semitic for saying the same thing.

My other problem with Owens that was swept under the rug was her gelping dox people in the GamerGate controversy.

No I dont approve of Omar. What specially did Owens say that was anti-Semitic? I mean really anti-Semitic and not just a oh my god she didn't say that Israel and all Jews are all victims. Or Oh my god she doesn't believe that Israel deserves unlimited support from the United States, she hates jewish people.

OP, thank you for starting this thread. It provides another good example of the lack of listening comprehension in the C-D audience. The contortions the liberal responders are going through have been quite entertaining.

And I can’t even begin to interpret this attempt at communication:

“My other problem with Owens that was swept under the rug was her gelping dox people in the GamerGate controversy.”

Alternate universe speak?

Omar is considered anti-Semitic for wanting to defund Israel like you do. I'm surprised you haven't been called that.
