    Housing is a right? Everyone has a right to a house? Everyone has a right to federal job? Abolishing ICE? Gun control works? Like what happened in Chicago this past weekend, worked out real well, right? Higher education for all? For free? Sure, so a BA can become like a high school diploma, right? These idiots don't understand value depends on scarcity. A post high school degree is valuable because of it's scarcity. Education is valuable because of it's scarcity. If you make it that available, like a high school diploma, then it does not put you in a smaller supply of labor. Thus it becomes worthless. My law degree would be worthless if they were given out for free, and I wouldn't be able to command a higher wage and wages would fall. It's basic Econ 101, something these idiots simply do not understand.

    Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of economics and how things work would understand many of these are stupid and would fail. The rest fall into the category I said earlier, like those who voted for her.

    I also find it incredibly ironic The Left whines about these alleged ties to Russia, THEN turns around and supports admitted socialists. They are too stupid to understand the irony.

    Medicare for all? No thanks. Many places that have "free" healthcare have economies that are crumbling, but hey, don't let me inject facts that get in the way of yours, and hers, opinions.

    'Women's rights"...what the fuck does that even mean?

    Yo0u're either a poor troll, or a genuine bitter failure moron. Either way, your posts are just beneath contempt.

    If you look at Ocasio-Cortez's platform - sure it's aspirational. I remember when I thought the GOP was nuts wanting to abolish the IRS and the ATF.

    Where did you plagiarize this from? Not that there’s anything wrong with that apparently.

    Should they not?

    We have a lot of instances where people talk about free speech issues, when they're not in play. But, in this case, they clearly are.

    We don't have to like their message, but we should defend their right to express it. The First Amendment isn't necessary to protect speech we all like.

    And, if recent history is a guide, it will be a ragtag group, of a couple of dozen dopes, who will be well outnumbered by those opposing their views.

    I totally agree. You can't defend only the free speech that you like. Only the press that you like. Only the religions that you like.

    How is a Nazi March or a Condederate March not speech designed to provoke a physical confrontation with certain members of the audience? It’s not hate speech, it’s fighting words or actions.
    It’s good that the nazis and confederate sympathizers don’t protest in areas that have open carry laws.
