Re: New York City

Not a particularly sunny read.

Why would anything I have ever said indicate I condone the destruction of property, or violence against other people.

You live in a cave though if you think it's a one-sided problem.

Though not an example of a violent incident, AOC was caught putting out a Twitter statement that discussed keeping things shut down so that the economy would be hurt so that Trump would not be reelected, that is an example of the Far Left and the Democratic Party being harmful to the best interests of the United States.

Dash, you didn't get sucked into that fake story did you? Be careful what you watch or listen to. It seems to have come from a Republican congressional candidate in Florida.

Paul, we have come to this: if USA today is the source, then it has no credibility with me.

Otherwise, whether she posted it directly or not, that is exactly the way AOC thinks. She is Far Left. And she is a registered Democrat. These are the facts of the case.

Dash, it wasn't USA today as a "source."

The source of the story about AOC saying what was alleged was a tweet by the Republican candidate for congress, which was screenshot and posted on Facebook.

At least if you disagree with a policy, don't use some made up crap. Use her actual policy statements.

Paul, please allow me to ask you a direct question: is AOC a far left liberal?

Pardon me, but it is as though you are deflecting again.

Is AOC a far left liberal? Her policy beliefs are terrible.

Are the cities that are presently burning in turmoil governed by Democrats?

Is the mayor of NYC an effective mayor?

Your Democratic Party has been pulled too far to the left. There is no denying that. You should be upset about that.

Shall we get into the Democratic VP candidate’s early political “history”?

Show me were Conservatives in mass numbers are destroying neighborhoods, looting, pulling people out of their vehicles and beating them, setting private businesses on fire, etc.

It pretty much is a one-sided problem.

Here's an opinion piece from three years ago: It's only gotten worse from the Left.

There have been no right-wing groups storming campuses and flinging feces at speakers we don't like; no tea party mobs destroying property, assaulting police officers, and paralyzing our major cities; and no Republican senators calling their colleagues murderers just weeks after a political assassination attemp (Steve Scalise).

Dash, to answer your question, AOC is a liberal. Near left or far left are open to discussion. There sure are some who are farther left.
She wants things like good climate policy, health insurance for more people, and other things characterized as "left."
That's my answer. And like Kennedy, I am proud to be a liberal because it means being interested in making things better, for everyone.

So I have one question for you.
Why does a Republican candidate for the United States Congress feel the need to post something and attribute it to AOC when it was not from her?
If he wanted to characterize his stance as being different, why not use her actual own words?
Why make up something?

You just compared a one-off case of a nut job to many multiple cases of Far Left radical destruction in multiple US cities.

The protesters who are turning violent and destroying cities (cities that, by the way, are controlled by Democrats) ARE DEMOCRATS. You don’t get to go down that deflecting road, Paul. Your party is kowtowing to the Far Left. That is simply a fact.

Though not an example of a violent incident, AOC was caught putting out a Twitter statement that discussed keeping things shut down so that the economy would be hurt so that Trump would not be reelected, that is an example of the Far Left and the Democratic Party being harmful to the best interests of the United States. The Democratic Party is chuck full of Far Left morons, including the people who are looting, burning and beating up innocent people.

Let's not forget that Ayanna Pressley called for more civil unrest.
