Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ✔ @AOC
A few social media ideas for public servants looking to build an audience:
- Endorse Single-Payer Medicare for All <<< Let the states figure out what works
- Hold Wall Street Accountable <<< What does this mean?
- Make Min Wage = Living Wage <<< What's the point if you have a guaranteed income?
>>> - Cancel Puerto Rican Debt <<< How does that help America?
- End For-Profit Prisons & ICE Detention <<< Even a broken clock is write once a day.
- Fight for a #GreenNewDeal <<< Gender based justice, reparations, guaranteed income.. communism, ..

Sounds like a great plan for Puerto Rican politicians. Odd's how long it takes her to find a villa on the beach in HI ?

Jair M. Bolsonaro @jairbolsonaro
One of our strategies to get Brazil to climb from the lowest spots of the educational rankings is to tackle the Marxist garbage in our schools head on. We shall succeed in forming citizens and not political militants.

LOL... way to go Jair... get that Marxist garbage off of the schools... for starters!

I like it!! I am learning more about O’Roark, I like his way of thinking

 

[mr-x]

What does O'Rouke stand for??

His website doesn't say anything about the issues but from his blog,

Higher taxes
No border security
Sanctuary cities / states ??


Won't trade citizenship for DACA for a wall. Just amnesty for illegals. FYI, Texas has huge sales tax to pay for services illegal aliens use.

With Warren, I am willing to forget the Native American stuff if she is willing to drop it too.

He isn’t what you think mr-x , he is more about our country being on level ground, O’Roark will be in Austin Tx on Jan 16 at UT speaking, my wife and I are going to go, I want to hear what he has to say, Texas will never have a state Tax.

O’Roark is very middle of the road IMO, he could easily run as an independent, but he will run Democratic as party affiliation is the status quo for being elected President.

She is one of the biggest fuckups ever voted into Washington, she talks a lot of endless stupid shit about budgets and shit, but she had no money when she was elected, a bartender at a Mexican club, broke as fucking Haiti, and she wants to tell me how to budget?? Really!!

I'd like to hear one position he's taken that isn't from the DNC platform / talking points.

I'll try to keep an open mind but I think a man running for president would have published his policy positions; unless he was trying to avoid taking any position on tough subjects. Like Barack Obama.

 

[mr-x]

With Warren, I am willing to forget the Native American stuff if she is willing to drop it too.

I think she acknowledged her mistake. She's trying hard to be likable instead of just being genuine.

Some of her ideas are good, i.e. making CC companies post the terms in plain English. With consequences for missing a payment made clear... i.e. after 30 days your interest rate goes from 12% to 30%.

I can't imagine her making really tough choices about the economy, war, etc. after jumping on the "abolish ice" hysteria wagon.

Positions were on his website.

Earlier you dodged my questions about the countries. Maybe you reread it and realized the word nearly in front of the word all?

Just checking Trump tweets, he actually posted that.

What an idiot.

Today we start MAGA, with Dems in House. Then next election we start really getting it back on track.

 

[mr-x]

What an idiot.

Nobody really cares about the Native American stuff. Not an issue that affects people's daily lives. But it's nice to see Trump already nervous about Warren, he's already shook.

You are aware we're on the internet and you could simply search on them?

https://orourke.house.gov/legislation/

He literally has a page called Vote Explanations - https://medium.com/@RepBetoORourke

or this page, Beto On The Issues, easier to read summary on many different issues:
http://www.ontheissues.org/TX/Bet`Rourke.htm

Stuff like:

• I consider myself pro-choice. (Sep 2012)
• Ban anti-abortion limitations on abortion services. (Dec 2013)
• Access safe, legal abortion without restrictions. (Feb 2015)
• On Drugs:
  
  • Exclude industrial hemp from definition of marijuana. (Jul 2013)

She is an elected official, 29 years old, and couldn’t afford an apartment? She was waiting on a pay check from Washington before she can get a fucking apartment??

That shows me she is very very far from being established in her life. So how the hell can she vote on decisions that could impact my life?

I had a job at 13 getting paid contract labor at Payless shoes.

I moved out of my moms house at 18 , working for an automotive shop cleaning parts making $4.25 an hour , I had a 330 sqft apartment, I have never moved back home, I learned responsibility and took it.

She is book smart, but far far behind on life’s realities at 29 years old,
