You are mistaken Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #26

Ha!! :-D NurseJackie Aug 2018 #27

Truth Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #28

Wrong. Hillary Clinton didn't join an organization criticizing Democrats. R B Garr Aug 2018 #30

That's pretty much what the DLC was. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #34

Now that is just absurd. Hillary didn't join a group funded by an ex Republican. R B Garr Aug 2018 #35

There is no VS Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #39

Now you are just reaching. You keep ignoring why AOC's connections to Justice R B Garr Aug 2018 #42

Who's reaching? Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #43

lol, another interesting turnabout. Read the Mueller indictments. Read who Russia R B Garr Aug 2018 #44

Plenty candidates fall into the categories you are saying. I pointed one out. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #47

You are the one projecting. Comparing AOC, an unelected candidate to Hillary Clinton?? R B Garr Aug 2018 #49

Why are you talking about russia? Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #50

omfg! LOL, trying to call the Clinton's Republicans... R B Garr Aug 2018 #53

Not actually. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #54

Yes, all recognizable buzzwords and old superficial Clinton hater R B Garr Aug 2018 #56

It was a pleasure. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #58

I found it very revealing.... Clinton this, Clinton that, not a word R B Garr Aug 2018 #60

Whatever floats your boat. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #61

I read your posts. That what was revealing. Clinton this and that... R B Garr Aug 2018 #63

Actually Clinton was the subject of these sub threads before. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #65

You keep trying to inject the Clintons in a completely unrelated manner. R B Garr Aug 2018 #67

Classic straw man. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #69

lol, from the one going back decades to inject the Clintons into everything, R B Garr Aug 2018 #75

Hillary was an actual topic of this conversation Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #79

You bringing Hillary into doesn't make it a topic. You made it Hillary R B Garr Aug 2018 #80

I did not actually bring up Hillary. My post was a response to post 21 Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #82

You compared Hillary to AOC, and my comment was that your analogy R B Garr Aug 2018 #87

No. I was implying democratic women ger treated similarly Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #92

Many are troubled by AOC's affiliation with Brand New Congress lapucelle Aug 2018 #155

Such a ridiculous argument Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #59

Yes, it is a very transparent and absurb recycled Clinton hater drama nonsense. R B Garr Aug 2018 #62

You're incorrect RB. Hillary was a Goldwater girl and campaigned for him door to door Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #76

You are completely fabricating now. What incredible spin. Bill Clinton won R B Garr Aug 2018 #78

Justice democrats have won more elections than you know apparently Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #81

Justice Democrats are not like Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton didn't organize R B Garr Aug 2018 #94

Either way you flip it justice democrats are democrats. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #96

You keep pretending you don't understand why people question the motives R B Garr Aug 2018 #98

Justice Democrats are Democrats Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #101

You are also denigrating Democrats. You keep sidestepping the fundamental reason R B Garr Aug 2018 #105

Wow that is quite a stretch. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #106

Going back 30 years to dig up some unrelated inane Clinton drama for R B Garr Aug 2018 #108

Simply pointing out somebody was a Republican a long time ago Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #111

Thanks for pointing out your distraction by now accepting what R B Garr Aug 2018 #114

Justice Democrats haven't won a single election. A few of their endorsed candidates have, though. George II Aug 2018 #103

RB facts are facts. Your spin is dizzying. Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #83

Power2thePeople, The Clintons are not like Cenk Uyger, an ex Republican. The Clintons are R B Garr Aug 2018 #85

Justice Democrats ARE democrats Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #88

Justice Democrats has stated goals to disrupt OTHER Democrats. If you don't R B Garr Aug 2018 #90

This whole conspiracy theory is nauseating. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #95

LOL, your distractions are humorous. First it's Hillary vs AOC, then R B Garr Aug 2018 #97

You are portraying my statements as something other than they were Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #99

You are pretending that people who question AOC do not have good R B Garr Aug 2018 #102

You are criticizing a democrat for being endorsed by a group because they criticized democrats Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #109

You are obviously intentionally ignoring the salient points about why R B Garr Aug 2018 #110

... Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #112

I never said or implied the Clintons are Republicans Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #91

You compared Hillary to Cenk Uyger. R B Garr Aug 2018 #100

No he never said that. You actually brought that up. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #104

Why the dishonesty indeed. Why compare 30-year-old Clinton nonsense R B Garr Aug 2018 #107

... Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #113

Yeah, what about Hillary! R B Garr Aug 2018 #115

. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #117

You keep acting like there are not salient reasons to question the group she belongs R B Garr Aug 2018 #120

Besides being a Goldwater girl, no Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #116

Hillary has not joined a group like Justice Democrats to work R B Garr Aug 2018 #118

Your conspiracy theories are fascinating but I don't have time to entertain them Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #119

The Mueller indictments are not conspiracy theories. They are factual. R B Garr Aug 2018 #121

.... Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #122

As I said a long time ago, your posts are very revealing... R B Garr Aug 2018 #123

It is great. Your mental gymnastics, too. R B Garr Aug 2018 #125

..... R B Garr Aug 2018 #127

RB you are being foolish.What you're saying just isn't true. Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #129

LOL, You are just trying to bring up Hillary to deflect from the FACTS about Cenk Uyger R B Garr Aug 2018 #132

Oy vey Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #133

Same to you. How utterly inane trying to compare Cenk Uyger with R B Garr Aug 2018 #134

... Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #135

.... R B Garr Aug 2018 #136

I know you love conspiracies but it's no tactic.It's actually... Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #137

No need for the silliness now. The Mueller indictments are not conspiracies. R B Garr Aug 2018 #138

Finally we agree!!! Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #139

Lame. Silly pictures aren't really necessary. R B Garr Aug 2018 #140

Well, you know the old saying... Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #141

Lame. It's funny how you think they are clever. R B Garr Aug 2018 #142

Post removed Post removed Aug 2018 #143

Lame. Your lame insults are just childish. R B Garr Aug 2018 #144

I agree, those insults were unnecessary. betsuni Aug 2018 #146

Thank you very much, betsuni! R B Garr Aug 2018 #148

You're welcome! betsuni Aug 2018 #151

Yes, all the distractions were trotted out, and then the distractions R B Garr Aug 2018 #153

And we weren't in agreement. So quit misrepresenting R B Garr Aug 2018 #145

Goldwater Girl/Soros/DLC/Third Way/Democrats are the same as Republicans/ betsuni Aug 2018 #147

Did you forget Hillary knocked doors for Gene McCarthy and worked on McGovern's campaign? emulatorloo Aug 2018 #64

Former party affiliation means nothing. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #66

Yes Cenk is not a Republican. However TYT is funded by a Republican emulatorloo Aug 2018 #70

If we are going to demonize everybody that has ever received large amounts of money from republicans Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #73

He gets money from Republicans. Makes you wonder what R B Garr Aug 2018 #150

Not at all. Was pointing out it was absurd to brand someone as tainted Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #71

Agreed emulatorloo Aug 2018 #72

Someone who never voted for a Republican in their life isn't an "ex-Republican." betsuni Aug 2018 #128

Why are you saying Justice Dems is funded by Cenk? - it's funded by people womanofthehills Aug 2018 #160

Best I can tell is a smear tactic Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #161

Like how an OP about AOC somehow turned into a Whatabout Hillary smear campaign? betsuni Aug 2018 #162

Notice whose doing that actually was Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #163

You. betsuni Aug 2018 #164

The comment that causes the outrage was pointing out the absurdity Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #165

"Hillary was a Goldwater Girl who campaigned for him door to door ... ." betsuni Aug 2018 #168

You are quoting somebody else. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #170

This was my "Hillary bashing comment" Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #166

"DLC was also founded by an ex republican and we nominated one in the last election." betsuni Aug 2018 #167

Those points have been misconstrued as well. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #171

Republicans are people, so yes, it's funded by people. R B Garr Aug 2018 #169

This nonesense is reminiscent of most nonesense used to attack democrats by democrats Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #172

Your denials won't change the facts. Both are Republicans*, not your what-about-this R B Garr Aug 2018 #173

Who cares? Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #174

Yes, I know that only the touted talking points are tolerated, so no R B Garr Aug 2018 #176

Holy cannoli, boom chaca laca laca R B Garr Aug 2018 #180

See its like we see things identically Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #181

Facts are not a point of view, though. They are more like R B Garr Aug 2018 #182

Agreed. Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #183

No, the criticism is deserved. AOC's mistakes and missteps are real. NurseJackie Aug 2018 #38

Your reasoning sounds identical to those justifying their criticism of hillary Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #41

Ha!! :-D NurseJackie Aug 2018 #45

Well you are certainly helping make her relevant Tiggeroshii Aug 2018 #48

That word isn't really as flattering as some believe it to be... NurseJackie Aug 2018 #55

Oh the irony. And THAT is one of the big differences! George II Aug 2018 #84

fascinating how much AOC's critics and detractors serve to elevate her profile bigtree Aug 2018 #23

I guess that's one way to try and put a "positive spin" on things... NurseJackie Aug 2018 #25

Ah, the invisibles. demmiblue Aug 2018 #36

Oh, how charming! Yes, we know...calling someone "invisible" or "the invisibles" is code-talk, and... NurseJackie Aug 2018 #40

it's a shame I can't see their posts bigtree Aug 2018 #46

DU is a far better place without all the drama. n/t demmiblue Aug 2018 #52

Well that's certainly a, festive, pose! She looks like she's having a good time. NurseJackie Aug 2018 #17

Apparently she's not a fan of some of her coworkers (according to twitter) George II Aug 2018 #19

damn, AOC sure has triggered you and your ilk! m-lekktor Aug 2018 #31

No! Not the Coffee Shop Bar! I loved that place! smirkymonkey Aug 2018 #33

Holy crap! Glamrock Aug 2018 #154

Well sheshe2 Aug 2018 #156

Yep.With same passive-aggressive advice/criticism Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #86

She is a young woman of color... I am not surprised. demmiblue Aug 2018 #89

Never thought of that but you may have a point. Power 2 the People Aug 2018 #93

Her color has nothing to do with it. sheshe2 Aug 2018 #158

You are calling DUers racist. betsuni Aug 2018 #159

What is the big deal??? RhodeIslandOne Aug 2018 #130

I like her because she comes from a working class background and without the sense of jalan48 Aug 2018 #149

She's cute as a button but doesn't show much interest in the welfare of her future constituents. ucrdem Aug 2018 #175

'She's cute as a button but doesn't show much interest in the welfare of her future constituents' melman Aug 2018 #185

it's as if none of the concerns expressed mean a thing bigtree Aug 2018 #188

The concerns are what the office she's seeking are about. She's not a tourist. She lives in NYC. ucrdem Aug 2018 #191

+1, I saw a Yahoo article saying closure was due to R B Garr Aug 2018 #186

this is a meme straight out of the republican playbook bigtree Aug 2018 #187

She needs to address the issue. It's a campaign message that shows no interest in the office ucrdem Aug 2018 #189

bullshit bigtree Aug 2018 #192

As it happens, she's one of two Democratic nominees on the Nov. ballot. ucrdem Aug 2018 #194

This again? melman Aug 2018 #197

The Democrat who holds the office is on the ballot under a minor party line. ucrdem Aug 2018 #198

"on the ballot under a minor party line" melman Aug 2018 #203

He's a Democrat and won that nomination as a Democrat. He's a Democratic nominee. nt ucrdem Aug 2018 #204

google, 'sea-lioning' bigtree Aug 2018 #201

Owner Charles Milite said it was rising rents, too. You can Google R B Garr Aug 2018 #190

but you said it was a higher minimum wage. bigtree Aug 2018 #193

The point is that AOC says nothing about why they lost their jobs ucrdem Aug 2018 #195

how do you know what she's said? bigtree Aug 2018 #199

You posted it. nt ucrdem Aug 2018 #200

She sent it from her campaign account. ucrdem Aug 2018 #207
