        White men are becoming unrattled bec POC & women R finally standing up 2 them & 4 themselves. Their good old boys club is falling apart & they're afraid of losing control. Hopefully women in his district run against him & play this in their ads until ppl hv it memorized

        As a white man that supports AOC, I disagree. Her campaign only has a minor focus on gender. She's not playing identity politics, she's taking a stand on policy issues that the majority of voters in the country support. All establishment politicians, male and female, are afraid.

        Exactly. I hope other New Democratic candidates take a page from her playbook and get this is what’s going to work. Alienating and blaming white men, even in the cases where it’s called for, isn’t a winning political strategy. #RespectTheHustle

        Have I sufficiently explained myself? Im talking about the men in Congress who are threatened by these newcomers that a member of Congress would refer to a woman as a girl. I wish I hadn't tweeted that now.

        Thanks. I was replying to the story of the congressman calling the new one a girl. He meant it to demean her yet she, like the rest of us, pay his salary. You don't see the women in Congress acting this way, only the men.

        How is it "socialism" to want workers to keep more of the benefit of their work, rather than subsidizing the rich & corp. welfare...

        It's not FREE. This language allows the Gross Old Pedophiles to hammer Medicare for All as bad. We will all pay higher taxes for Medicare, but probably less than we pay out of pocket for our current healthcare. Canada's program is supported by income taxes, ours would be the same

        When socialists say "FREE", it means they demand it and demand someone else pay for it. Everyone knows there is not free lunch, it is all about economic model. Economic model of socialism fails. I support welfare under capitalism. #UBI #SinglePayerHealthCare

        what you are talking is "Social democracy", which is exercising in nordic countries. Many people confuse democratic socialism and Social democracy, and even equivalent them, ie democratic socialism = Social democracy. I support your idea, but it is called Social democracy.

        2 is such a hand grenade these days. Just so long as ppl understand that fairly regulated capitalism/taxation is the model.

        Mayor Cruz, thank you so much for your dedication and support of your citizens after the hurricane. We watched you wading through waist-deep water, no makeup, hair a mess, but you didn't care that the cameras were rolling. You wanted to get the message out about PR. We love you.

        I remember her whining and criticisms of Washington while we had our own hurricane problems in Loisianna , Mississippi and Florida while her truck drivers wouldn't even deliver FEMA supplies to the needy.

        I'm well aware of that Laura, what I'm saying is you stand in line when a storm attacks. We had two states already being served by FEMA you were next. By "our problems " I meant here on the mainland. The mayor should've been as diplomatic as your good Governor.
