AOC: Abolish the death penalty.

95. Wow. Who's post did you read? Not Mine. Politicians do go on talk shows, they do speak in Congress.

The media rarely covers those speeches and if they do it's a picture of the politician talking and some "reporter" talking about what they said in a ten minute speech in 60 seconds. Most Americans make decisions from 15 second sound bites and it shows.

Highlighted from my post by you.

10. She's using that new fangled social media to advance the idea, it's much better

than giving a speech in Congress that no one ever listens to or on a talking head show that no one is interested in watching.

It will never disappear, that's the platform younger politicians will stick with to use. It's the way to reach millions and influence the discussion. Evening news is dying out and no one bothers to watch those idiotic pundit shows on TV.

As for passing all legislation by tweets where the hell did you get that from my post? That talking point fall flat. Ideas are not legislation
