    Centrists, hawks, and unrepentant liberals have put forward a whole new rhetoric around "institutions" being "under threat," and this rhetoric contains a host of dubious political assumptions that need to be scrutinized. That was the reason for my question to AOC

        People who distrust the direction and motivations of the government who want to increase the scope and breadth of government are offering up quite the paradox.

        No, there is a huge difference between capital (owner class, for profit) and institutions, such as public education. Many within the public sector even despise the privatization of public institutions.

        Michael I’m from the future... at some point you’re going to confront AOC at the Capitol with some insane question and she’s going to laugh at you and brush you aside. Your resulting “assault” accusation against her will make you a laughingstock. Stay vigilant!

        So where's your critique of the president's increasingly vague, non-supported rhetoric, as the leader of our country? Who wields far, far more power than a single representative. Your bias is showing, hard.

        Why is it a requirement for anyone on the left who examines the actions of centrists and “democrats”, to spend equal time on the “bat-shit crazy” level of right wingers? If you want critiques of trump or whoever else from the right, turn on any number of “news” tv channels.

        She’s also going to have to tell her position re Russia, which she has more or less avoided so far.

        Unrepentant? Are you implying that liberals go to hell unless they atone for their liberalness? Rhetoric: the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques.
