SaysWho? Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 “Right now, out of the field, I would say that she is the most progressive candidate,” Ocasio-Cortez said on her Instagram Live where she often takes questions from constituents. “All of the rebellion for the speakership are challenges to her right, and so I think it’s important to communicate that.” “My standard in this is: I’m going to support the most progressive candidate that’s leading the party and right now that is Nancy Pelosi, in terms of running,” she continued. “I would like to see new, younger leadership, but I don’t want new leadership that’s more conservative.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 "all of the rebellion and challenges to the speakership are to her right" and she' absolutely right about that. Pelosi will more than likely be the next speaker of the house so I hope Dems will drop this pointless charade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 On one hand, I am not particularly fond of Pelosi. On the other hand, I am extremely unimpressed by the arguments about empowering the conservative boogeyman message. The conservatives will demonize whoever the Dems raise to power. Trying to make leadership decisions based on that is like the movie troupe about, "he knows that I know that he knows that I know." Best just to ignore that aspect and choose who is going to be the most effective leader. Like @skillzdadirecta said, this challenge isn't coming from the progressive side anyway, so why should Cortez back it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Don't worry because by the time we are close to retirement we will either have universal basic income or will be engaged in armed combat against the robotic forces of the sky-dwelling global elite.

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Really the only people I know in good/great financial shape around my age had their college paid for by their parents. They're the ones who own houses and (at least they've mentioned) they can save something. But I also have an engineering degree so my social circle is a bit skewed compared to an average college grad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 It's hilarious to see how out of touch older people are. AOC has been great since she joined the Justice Democrats and The Young Turks have been giving her a lot of air time these past two years so I've been well aware of her for awhile now - I'm a big fan. What's most telling about all of this is just how afraid of her conservatives are. I mean, she's a 29-year old freshman Congresswoman doing politics for the first time. Yet people have been trying to eviscerate her online from every angle. That kind of attention - AOC isn't going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 She's the next female conservative boogey man. They'll do to her what they did to Hillary, Pelosi, Waters and Warren and people will eventually fall for it because of the latent misogyny rampant in our society. AOC and Kamala Harris will get their turns to be conservative boogey women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to these people. Nobody but a few people (many of whom don't get how little money most people have) have that much saved by 30. Don't sweat it. Keep saving, but don't sweat the unrealistic number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
