AOC Calls Roosevelt’s “New Deal” Racist

Posted by Mitch45 on Sun Mar 10 12:41:23 2019

This chick has lost her marbles. The New Deal bailed out the country during the Depression and saved lives. What the hell is she talking about?

Did it save lives? Still open for debate. Kept the Depression going too.

The stuff about Reagan is pure, unadulterated BS though.

Funny to see AOC all over the place. She'll burn herself out real quick.

Doing some great things is not incompatible with doing some racist things. See Thomas Jefferson.

AOC chooses to emphasize only the racist, which is her annoying slant. That doesn't make her wrong about the facts.

I don’t necessarily agree with that. The only sources for AOC’s comment are Fox Propaganda and the New York Post. So it’s not clear at all what context it was said in. I highly doubt that someone who proposes something named after the New Deal would condemn the whole thing as racist.

The right LOVES her. She's the bogeyman invented to scare mainstream America. Except they didn't have to invent her, she was elected. It's comical to watch Democrats try to minimize her while we can all see how popular and influential her and her views are. She was the rockstar at SXSW!

All of this is hilarious to me as someone that doesn't really care whether AOC, Sanders, or Trump is in the whitehouse.

You don't "really care" who is in the White House, because nothing has happened yet that affects YOU personally.

That will change, and so will your feelings about who our President is.

I don't know why you would compare her to someone reprehensible. That seems harsh. And you're once again trying to minimize her.

Compare her to someone recently elected on the right that is an absolute rock star drawing huge crowds everywhere they go.

Duh!

He wasn't consistent. He probably wasn't personally racist but pandered to racists when it was expedient. For example, he could have ordered the military integrated, but didn't choose to spend personal capital on that issue.

Of course I am trying to minimize her. If her opponent hadn't been such an arrogant son of a gun she never would have been elected.

Look at this list of new members of Congress.

2 radical leftists to augment maybe 5 who were there already. Big yawn.

You know much more about political stuff than I do, but I think that you are out of step with the significance of what she represents to a lot of people all over the country. Especially people under 35. She's their voice.

Purely because of the attention she gets from Sanderistas and the right wing. It is to the advantage of those two groups, and only those two groups, to hype her.

She's the voice of leftists under 35 years old. What percentage of the electorate do they represent? I don't know, but my guess is 15%.

In yesterday's and today's posts, we have people claiming that radical leftists will take over, and that the Trumpists will solidify their control. Some people seem to be claiming both at the same time. I'll believe it when I see it, if I'm still alive.

The evidence of this remains very limited. Very few Democratic members of Congress call themselves Democratic Socialists. I do not think Warren or Sanders is a shoo-in for the nomination.

I agree that Sanders and Warren are quite far out to the left.

There were 17 candidates for the Republican Party this time 4 years ago, but somehow the single worst candidate won the nomination.

It’s still early enough for the Democrats to do what they do best and drop the ball.

I don't think any of the current candidates can beat Trump and I think that he's very beatable.

I'm not a Sandernista, but I hope that he wins as the crying on the right will be at least equal to the crying over Trump. World's coming to an end, etc.

But what I think is that the election will split the Democratic Party unless someone charismatic enough to win comes forward.

I don't follow politics well enough to answer that. Maybe one of the ones running will surprise me.

I think that a young firebrand like AOC could take him. Not her specifically of course. Or an elder statesman like Gore.
