Again, your opinion.

What ridiculous claims? That you are triggered by them? That is my opinion. I get to have one, too.

No one is denying that. I just don't find your contention that Sanders and AOC are "idiots" and "dummies" simply because you disagree with them politically, as was the entire basis of your OP, to be reasonable points of debate.

The Progressives don't like to be reminded that the candidates and politicians they back are as nutty and irrational as they are. They are EMBARRASSED by themselves. That is also why they hate when Hillary is brought up so the try to CENSOR people about her too. More evidence they are Control Freaks.

Sadly its VERY reasonable to question the IQ of Sanders and AOC, they bring it on themselves.

Again, your opinion, and one which I disagree with. I find them both reasonably intelligent adults. Insulting the intelligence of someone simply because you disagree with their politics is not the basis of a reasonable discussion. It is insulting them to attempt to nullify their opinions. There's a difference.

OK, who is dumber?

Sanders and AOC

or


Trump and Gohmert. And Gohmert passed the bar.

Neither team has a lock on smart people.

No, they have both said some very questionable and unintelligent things. I don't deny that I disagree with their politics, but there is no shortage of intellectually dishonest and challenged things that have come out of both of their mouths.

Even more unbelievably, he said he'd consider her for his VP running mate if she were old enough.

Can these people get any more tone-deaf?

With all the non-qualified people on Trump's cabinet, and Trump himself who has not a clue about the Constitution or even simple civics, you're worried about someone who actually understands how government works? That's funny.

Your threshold for smart must be awfully low.

IDK what she said because i pay her no mind. I thought she needed to find out how the place worked and where the ladies room was before she started pontificating.

But from my reading, people who really keep up with climate think we have 10-15 years to remedy what we are doing. Some think it's already too late.

I tend to believe that. But I believed it when i read that we were to be good stewards of the earth. All this plastic and destruction for natural resources just tells me how selfish humans are. We could do both if we were willing to pay the price.

As it is humans just destroy and then open their front doors and throw their trash out on the rest of the world.

I'll point out two things:

First, a casual vague comment (I doubt Bernie used the word "promise") a year before an election isn't something to be taken seriously.

Second, you may not like AOC, but she is certainly not dumb.
