The Representative from New York's 14th District argues that climate change was not addressed in the way it needs to be addressed at the first Democratic Debate.




Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 'We Sent Kellyanne Conway A Subpoena This Morning'

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a message for alleged Hatch Act violator, Kellyanne Conway: you're getting a subpoena.

1. "Lock her (Conway) up!"

I agree with the audience member who spoke up!

2. aoc! aoc! aoc!

[FiveGoodMen]

11. Yeah, that crowd reaction was inspiring

3. K&R. Thanks, Rhiannon.

Always refreshing and energizing to see AOC.

KY.........

[Rhiannon12866]

4. She really is pretty amazing, she is doing a stellar job, IMO.

Of course, tomorrow his guest is Chris Christie, "for balance," apparently - another live show immediately after the debate.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

5. LOL, he'll play with Christie like a toy.

A large reservoir of comedy material there from many years.......

[Rhiannon12866]

6. You're right, I even think that came up the last time he was on

Chris Christie is just too easy to make fun of!

12. Sadly

I think it's because he is desperate to have been able to show he was on that show. He has this adoration for the famous and longs to be their buddy so he can be cool too. It shows with Colbert and Springsteen and he probably has that same "thing" about MoFOTUS.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. And if you listened to him on the show tonight, he came off as almost anti Trump

He praised several of the Democratic candidates' debate performances, and who could blame him after Trump threw him to the curb in favor of his beloved Jared - who hates Christie for sending his father to prison. I can't believe that the Trump crime family is still running this country, just caught a glimpse of him on the news hanging out with Putin!

7. AOC is terriific, and correct about the complexity & importance of

climate change; it was only discussed about 10 mins! And o course she's on it about the need for voter turnout.

8. AOC - 2028!

9. I like how she concludes.

That its dangerous to assume that one of the candidates is the “safe” choice, who will just deliver the election to you. That its more about an overall strategy, That there’s this idea that we have to sacrifice everything, that we can’t talk about working class issues, that we can’t talk about criminal justice issues, that we can’t talk about immigration because it isolates this very small sliver of Obama to Trump voters. and how she thinks that’s a mistake, because if we sacrifice the issues of so many communities, we depress turnout.

This always happens. A fear generated by the conservative wing of the party that we’d better not get too “crazy” with progressive proposals as the election draws near. When in fact, her contention is that the base would be energized more if we stopped being so fearful and that our base would support bold initiatives more than the play it safe approach.

10. AOC Is Great

We need more like her.

[LiberalLovinLug]
