Bernie Sanders: AOC will have key role in my White House if I'm elected in 2020

I think that's a grievous disservice to AOC's constituents as she's pursuing her own interests and attempts at furthering her career in lieu of actually legislating. She does not beling in Congress and I hope they vote for better representation next time.

No honest though inexperienced person belongs in Congress. As P.J. O'Rourke wrote many years ago, ours is a Parliament of Whores.

She is young and finding her way. She has the interests of the common man at heart and is doing her best. At least she's not promoting the war of terror, and at least she is not an Israel first sort of person.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....all good economic indicators are Obama's credit and anything not good is Trump's fault. Heard it all before.

I'm not sure Obama had much to do with the improving of the economy under his rule. But if we're crediting Presidents with economies, then pretty much Trump inherited an improving and growing economy and has mostly been able to not **** it up yet.

Trump has been coasting on an improving economy given him by Obama. I don't think it would be greatly different under AOC, nor do I believe Trump knows what he's doing at all.

That just shows your ignorance on the economy, Obama's policies were a mess, and Trump unleashed the potential after Obama left and his policies and regulations and taxes started getting reversed. FFS man, give it up with that stupid "Coasting on Obama's Coattails..." that's so lame and disingenuous.

Show me a career politician who isn't in it for personal advancement.

Bernie is completely about the political bull**** and doesn't care about America or her people. He cares about his idiotic socialist revolution. "Forget history, this time we'll get it right! Trust us...."

Sure Renae, you would know what Bernie cares about. :lol:

Activists are some of those whose dedication to a just cause achieved universal suffrage for disenfranchised women. A very good thing. Activists won equal rights for black Americans. A very good thing. Activists won independence for America from English rule. A very good thing. So, your problem with activists is...? Oh and how is Tulsi "more American" than Cortez? I really need to hear this!

Activist once did something good, so all activists are good! (that's your logic, and it is flawed)

whelp, there you go, I'm backing Bernie to get the DNC nod. Because watching that circus of a candidacy flame out in the general election would be the best popcorn viewing in politics since Mondale / Ferraro.

These people just don't have a frickin clue. They are heroes to a very small percentage of the population. This will really kill Bernie's campaign, what little chances he had.

Au contraire, it is 100% true. Obama rescued America from the deepest recession since the 1930s, caused by conservatives and their financial genius.

It's like Bernie knows he's done, but he wants to make a statement which will help him once he drops out.

Thing is, AOC completely believes she is imminently deserving. With zero qualifications and experience, along with a profound lack of understanding of our Constitution and a whole host of other things like science and economics, she was eating that **** up.
Aww...peshaw, Bernie, do go on!

It's good to know a cons ignorant view of someone on the left. That way we know to flat out ignore it and dismiss it as idiotic and worthless. Trump supporters wouldn't understand the constitution if it were explained by cartoons and crayons especially with all the drooling they do.

Trump inherited an improving and growing economy. Sorry if that so offends you. Obama's policies were a mess, and yet the economy had been growing. Probably shows that Presidents don't quite have as much an effect on the overall economy as we believe. Trump hasn't done anything great with the economy, and we would be in the same rough spot regardless of who won, very likely.

Trump hasn't ****ed things up too badly at this point, other than ****ing over the farmers, but thankfully y'all love bailouts so we've been spending quite a bit on that. Deficit is soaring under Trump, so cool beans there. And nothing lasts forever, the economy will slow its roll eventually, and then Trump has nothing else to fall back on.

So he has been riding coattails, but let's be honest, Obama's haven't been the only coattails his ridden in his long, illustrious career as a conman.

Because AOC and Ilhan Omar (and Tlaib) are progressive champions (I would argue are rockstars) who were inspired to run by Bernie Sanders specifically. They are uncorrupted by money or corporate influence and have a genuine desire to help the American people through policy. That's why Bernie Sanders supports them.

Socialist don't care about people, they care about power.

How is Tulsi "more American"? Activists for good are always good. Did I mention any others? Try another argument.

I didn't say that so I can't answer to it. Activist like the KKK? They were activist, we can play this game all day, activism can be good but not all activism is good.

The economy started growing despite Obama's policies, not because of them.

Principled old men like to see young leaders. Bernie is concerned about the country, not political bull****.

I hope he might include Tulsi in his administration were he to win.

I hope Warren might include Tulsi in her administration should she win.

This country needs young leaders badly.

This country needs good leaders of ALL ages.

You think Trump gives a flying fart about you or America? His entire history is one of seeking personal power and self-aggrandizing, and screw anyone who stands in his way.

Wrong, gdp gains, employment gains....nearly any change in macro levels were far greater under the Obama admins.

Orange was born half way to home base from third, as was his admin in an econ sense.
