    So am I ignorant - in that I actually believe AOC is the face of the party but I’m wrong, or do I not believe it, yet write it anyway?

    It is possible to be both ignorant and dishonest. I said you were dishonest when you bluffed to try to cover your ignorance. I said you were ignorant for a number of things.

    And here I thought you were finally keeping up.

    It is indeed. But in the case of bluffing, I'd think one knows if they are doing it (bluffing) which, in this case, eliminates the former.

    At any rate, in this matter, I'm not the latter but perhaps the former, which means, at the very least, I wasn't bluffing.

    Please see my amended post. You showed your ignorance, then bluffed to try to cover it.

    I like Nancy Pelosi.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...ory.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.c531fdb203dc

    Pelosi, eager to protect her newfound majority and looking ahead to the 2020 elections, has made it a point to put distance between her party and the policies espoused by some of her new, liberal members, including both women. Republicans have tried to use the liberal policy initiatives against all Democrats. Pelosi purposely has cast the proposals as aspirational, telling The Washington Post she was “agnostic” about Medicare-for-all compared with the 2010 Affordable Care Act, and calling Ocasio-Cortez’s environmental Green New Deal “the green dream.”

    Pelosi’s allies say it’s all to protect the House majority, a rationale Pelosi cited while taking questions during a Monday appearance at the London School of Economics. Asked about her “60 Minutes” comments about Ocasio-Cortez, Pelosi called the New York liberal “wonderful” but argued that the 43 districts Democrats flipped in 2018 were “right down the middle.”

    “I share those values, but we must win,” she said, arguing that the glass of water she was holding could carry a district like hers if it had a “D” for Democrat next to its name.

    So weird to watch Crazy Bernie on @FoxNews. Not surprisingly, @BretBaier and the “audience” was so smiley and nice. Very strange, and now we have @donnabrazile?

    how embarrassing

    Democrats have no one to blame for this but themselves. They’ve been continually nudged right for the last 40 years by scared Shitless by nonsense old whites. Fucking Clinton was the best Republican President of our lifetimes when you look at the policies he enacted - NAFTA, crime bill and deregulation of banks and mortgage market which led to the subprime blowout. Are the aging boomer limousine set like Pelosi and Schumer really shocked that the younger generation is saying, “fuck this?”

    I'm Mayor Pete all the way, not least because I'd love to see Trump have to debate him. He's so unflappable, I think he'd have Trump spitting goobers.
