More pulling to the right? Think. Again. Mar 2024 #1

Actually, he seems rather sane, reasonable and normal to me... here in the center. Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #5

I just don't thnk we should react to... Think. Again. Mar 2024 #6

He's not a right winger, and neither am I. Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #7

I guess we'll see what the folks of that district want for themsleves then. Think. Again. Mar 2024 #8

Umm. Yeah? Obviously. LOL! Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #9

Why are you bashing AOC? Emile Mar 2024 #10

Nobody is "bashing" AOC. I'm supporting the candidacy and views of a Democrat. Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #12

Really? Who was this bashing aimed at, then? muriel_volestrangler Mar 2024 #23

Contrast and compare. A very reasonable and realistic assessment and characterization. Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #35

The word was "insinuating". yagotme Mar 2024 #56

You seem unwilling to talk about the immigrant stance you quoted in the OP muriel_volestrangler Mar 2024 #49

AOC for the win! SocialDemocrat61 Mar 2024 #13

Four years with half of it under a Republican majority. Emile Mar 2024 #29

No. Four years with a Democratic majority. And 1.5 years (so far) * Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #33
