Maybe because she's not black?

'back bencher" just means a new office holder.

I demur from "10-15" for a lot of reasons. Want to put an age cap? Nope.

You don't get to change things just because your team isn't getting its way, that's precisely the fear of Democracy any rational person should believe.

This has nothing to do with 'teams'. RBG and Breyer have been on the Court since I was in college, and I don't think there's a net benefit to that.

Tyranny of youth has not worked out well over history.

Btw, I was trying to figure out why I had heard the name of the bar where the shooting happened.

Adam Carolla has a lot of his podcasts there.

There wouldn't be a predilection to appoint 45-year olds to the highest court in the land if there wasn't an expectation of them still making case law when their great grandchildren are born.

The bar is in the neighborhood where Mrs Tif's first work week apartment was. I know the area pretty well.

She's also not likely to have any sort of out sized influence in the House. Unless she forms some sort of DSA caucus, she's relegated to a back bench position without much hope for gaining additional notoriety. I listened to a discussion where they suggested her next step is to run for mayor of NYC.

Wouldn't expect such blatant racism from you. Just because she's a black woman doesn't mean you need to put her in the back.

is this serious?

I was reading about Ocasio-Cortez this morning... My goodness, if I were a Democrat I'd be terrified of the damage people like her could do to the party. She is flat out dumb. Did you know she claimed the reason that unemployment was so low was because most people were working two jobs? Let that sink in for a moment.

There are a ton of other similarly idiotic statements she has made. Listening to her talk, she sounds like a ditzy valley girl with the nonstop likes and ums. I was cringing hearing her talk about Israel and Palestine. She seems to be aggressively ignorant in the Trumpian mold. But, she promised her constituents a bunch of free stuff that she will never deliver on and they elected her.

Apparently it's ok to be like this and get elected... seems to work.

What a reach.

So is describing a black person as being articulate, but that is considered racist so why wouldn't saying a black woman will be at the back of something.

The fact that you don't understand the difference in the situations you're attempting to compare tells me you have no idea what the **** you're talking about here.

It is amazing how quick you are to use the f word. The white guilt must keep you up at night.

[tifosi77]

I'm still trying to figure out who LBL thinks he's talking about, because Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not a black woman.

[MR25]

Is this some dumbass fake edge trolling like you tried in the Parenting Thread?


This is some EPP/Columbia level ****.

[Silentom]

Glad I wasn't the only one who thought that...

Snipes attributed the slow pace of vote-counting to the number of votes and the size of the ballot. She had no answers for why her office was reporting two different numbers for total ballots cast, with one figure showing 695,799 and another showing 716,268. Nor could she say why so many voters may have overlooked or skipped the U.S. Senate race.

Broward County is corrupt as hell.

Corrupt, or inept?

At first, it just seemed like you made a bad joke. But then you doubled down, the doubling down is confusing, because it now seems like you think something objectively wrong/stupid.

That's some masterful reverse psychology.

I think the Cruz camp wants a good explanation for why the race was so close, aside from people don't like Ted Cruz.

I should have clarified what trolling in the Parenting Thread. I was wrong in this thread and dropped it.
