Shows what they really care about lol. this is hilarious in that it’s completely irrelevant to either of the posts in the chain, which are also seemingly tenuously related at best. in doing so, it’s essentially a self five. a little mental masturbation. which is also exactly what you’re critiquing in your post, the women’s own self fives. except for the women you critique, it’s getting more women in politics. for you, it’s just shitting on political opponents. like you said, it shows what they really care about lol. couldn’t have said it better myself. | ||

I will explain it so maybe you can grasp it, and realize all your reasoning was wrong. Poster 1 said they were ok not to clap low african american unemployment or stopping sex traficking, by making an analogy that Trump was akin to Mao (lol) so you would not clap to anything Trump says, and that would be ok. If that was the case, being coherent they would have stayed silent on everything, but they just couldn't hold themselves from self back patting. The optics of this was terrible for them. | ||

Do you and xDaunt think Republicans also didn't support all the things they didn't clap for during the Obama administration? Or is this typical partisan optics devoid of substance?

They also are going to regret Trump dunking on them with the abortion and socialism issues, Democrats might but it was actually taken as a challenge by socialists, I suspect Trump and Republicans will regret basically telling teenage America "You better not become socialists you little whipper snappers", because we know how well telling youth what they won't do works. | ||

As for AOC specifically, it's only a matter of time before she gets exposed as a fraud and policy lightweight. Democrats are going to have to primary her in 2020. | ||

Venezuela's problems go far beyond socialism. Ironically all the people complaining about Maduro seem to not notice even the most inflated estimates for what he's stealing are comparable to the profits oil execs (as well as other industries) take from their workers. As for AOC lol. I can't imagine the mental gymnastics it takes to lament AOC's alleged lack of knowledge when you're supporting Trump who probably couldn't find half the countries he's bombing on an unlabeled map. | ||

Supporting Trump's policies is pretty easy because the policies work (just as was expected). | ||

So it doesn't matter if she's a "fraud and policy lightweight" really anyway. All that matters is that she supports policy that people want (since we'll disagree on whether they "work"), even by your own metric. | ||

No, my point is that Trump is not a fraud and a policy lightweight because his policies have been a success. You can go down the list of all sorts of things that he campaigned on and delivered in the first two years, and not only have those policies worked, but he has made his political opponents on those issues look like fools. No where is there more readily apparent than on his economic policies. Remember when Obama made the "magic wand" quip during the campaign? Well, it turns out that Trump has one. | ||

You are seriously arguing Trump isn't a fraud? He ran a fraud university (I mean he's got a long list) lol. Are you also under the impression that Trump is the one creating the policy he's pushing? Or by policy do you just mean the disjointed stream of consciousness on the campaign trail/ in office? | ||

I don’t like AOC’s comment “this is what being a woman in politics is like” Her point might not apply to pharma as well as she thinks, but there’s plenty of public science funding that ends up catalyzing private intellectual property owned by private companies (sometimes even the professors using public funds to research end up piggybacking on it with their private startups) | ||

No where is there more readily apparent than on his economic policies. Remember when Obama made the "magic wand" quip during the campaign? Well, it turns out that Trump has one. What has been a success exactly... The jobs ( https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/ces0000000001?output_view=net_1mth ) and finance ( https://www.macrotrends.net/assets/images/large/dow-jones-100-year-historical-chart.png ), or growth ( https://www.statista.com/statistics/188185/percent-chance-from-preceding-period-in-real-gdp-in-the-us/ ) are still running high from the post-crisis bounce back, levels are not even higher than they were during Obama. It takes a while for things to break or improve. Wages are starting to increase a little, but not too much. What other metrics do you want to have a look at ? Judges ? Rolled back regulations ? That's not exactly "policy". The debt and deficit, though, took a deeeep dive. That, yes. I refer you to my previous post (the long one that went unanswered). In any case, we can see if policies are working only after several years, not in the middle of a 4-year presidency. Useful policy would be "his" (I should say "the", cause he won't be the one to work on it  ) infrastructure plan, which everybody is still waiting for... "It's coming guys, it's coming... !" When ? That would really be bipartisan, but he doesn't look interested. Lowering drug prices, as well. Empty talk mostly for now.He's not interested in working with the democrats, as he wants to show that they are obstructing. So he is NOT going to give them cookies, and they are going to be stalled for the next 2 years. | ||

I think this is the point where you provide some content to back up your claim. List the policies that have been a success, please, so I can see what the other side thinks about them. | ||

Speaking as a big fan of Derek Lowe, if your takeaway from his exchange with AOC was “AOC is a policy lightweight,” I don’t think you understood their exchange very well. | ||
