We need more people like her in government, and fewer like Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and others, both Republican and Democrat (yes, some Democrats are also guilty) who cater mostly, if not exclusively, to the wealthy and most avaricious. And we need zero people in government like Donald J. Trump (except to serve as a nearly worst case example of what to avoid)!

Gee what a well thought out argument, especially the part where you clearly have no idea who/what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is and stands for. You could have just posted "clean out the barn!" or "Drain the swamp!", ok?

On the contrary, you are the one who doesn't fully understand her or what she stands or why she stands for it.

ETA: By the way, the current swamp seriously does need to be drained--especially of the sewage Trump has added to it!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

well, it wasn't the most eloquent summation of your post's content but it was concise to your post's content.

Most people failed to grasp that Trump wanted to replace the swamp with something much more fetid.

Oh pray tell how her lack of eloquence; inability to form coherent thoughts; confusion on issues; deceptions about personal history; and media darling status are detracting from my full understanding of "what she stands or why she stands for it."

at least you get a ride with my posts, yours are more akin to being force fed.

(and while i appreciate the colorful image of your metaphor, wouldn't the sleigh throw towards the rear? or are there horses kicking up in your face? and why would you have a horse drawn sleigh for a downhill ride? and so on...but yeah, snark as the go to - i get it.)

True, sledding would probably work better. It's not copyrighted so feel free to put it on t-shirts and sell them at your next family reunion.

well, it would need to be more of a summer theme.....maybe a mud run?....or maybe, and this is more like reading your posts - "intellectual equivalent of a cleveland steamer. "

Using terms that most decent people have to google, and then regret doing so, is just one of the many reasons the comparison about your posting content is so accurate.
