(11,640 posts)Tired of this little girl doesnt know what she is talking about misogynistic bullshit.
She is a duly elected congress person from New York with a Bachelors in Foreign Relations with a minor in Economics form Boston College.
Tired of this framing of her as a child or silly or this ridiculous talking point that she just needs to sit back and do what she is told.
Sorry the way we used to do it should be just that. That way helped us loss our ass 2010 and 2016.
The new way helped us win 40 seats in the House and huge gains in state governments across the country.
The new way has people talking about 70% tax rates on millionaires and Medicare for all as serious policy positions.
If anybody should be tempering their approach it should not be the new batch of incoming Democrats but those still trying to do things the way we have always done it.
I am NOT saying we need to rewrite the book BUT We need realize that people want fresh ideas and new approaches and we should recognize that as the clear message from the 2018 election.
