The news media seem to like those on the Left (especially AOC) who are feisty.
Here's what she has to say about the NGD:
“You know what? I don’t care anymore. I don’t care anymore, because again, I’m at least trying, and they’re not,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “So the power is in the person who’s trying, regardless of the success. If you’re trying, you’ve got all the power, you’re driving the agenda, you’re doing all this stuff.”

“Like I just introduced Green New Deal two weeks ago and it’s created, creating all of this conversation. Why? Because no one else has even tried,” she claimed. “So people are like ‘oh it’s unrealistic, oh it’s vague, oh it doesn’t address this little, minute thing.’ And I’m like you try, you do it.”

“So until you do it, I’m the boss!” she declared. “How about that?!”

AOC Tells Critics of her GND, "I'm the Boss"
Good for her.

Good for her.

Even better that she doesn't care anymore. It obviously wasn't important enough to care about in the first place.

If that's how you choose to take it, I can't stop you.
Give me some reason not to think you made it all up.

Because I'd die waiting for you to provide evidence for your claim that hate crime laws are "used and abused" to gain "preferential treatment"

It's a fairly common idiom, I'm surprised you're unaware of it.

Tell that to all the people that keep attacking her. They think it's important enough.

I'm not in the business of changing what you think.

Because I'd die waiting for you to provide evidence for your claim that hate crime laws are "used and abused" to gain "preferential treatment"

I think you'd simply pass out first.

I'm not unaware of it. I simply questioned why you wouldn't do it.

Important enough to address the NGD (or GND) because of how unrealistic and destructive it is. But if she doesn't think it's important enough to defend, then it must not be important enough, even though it was her idea.

And what I think is you made the whole thing up.

I think you'd simply pass out first.
:doh:

<<sigh>> Because I would pass out before you ever provided evidence of your claim that hate crime laws are "used and abused" to gain "preferential treatment"

Something I see you are deflecting heavily away from in hopes I'll forget that you have yet to support your ridiculous claim.

Won't work. I'm still waiting.

So it is important despite your claims to the contrary.

You want to take a minute and get your as story straight?

She's finally realized that it was a big mistake after she looked at her recent ratings. :doh:

The news media loves and so do a lot of Democrats. But why? She recently cost NY $24.5 billion in tax revenue and 143,000 jobs over 10 years as her and others got Amazon to scuttle plans for HQ2 in Long Island City.

Her Green Deal is a joke that would cost $53-93 trillion over 10 years.

She's basically a 15 watt bulb in a socket that requires 100 watts.

Why is the news media making such a big deal over her? I don't get it.
She's young, exciting, dynamic, a POC, a woman, witty, attractive and different from the average Democrat.

To be clear, I wouldn't vote for her even if my life depended on it because there's almost nothing on her agenda that I agree with. But I absolutely see the appeal she has to the far-left Democrat voters.

Which part would that be, the bankrupt America part or the allowance for those who don't want to work part??
When I wrote...

... was that too confusing?

I don't support her. But I understand why the far-left Democrats do. It makes a lot of sense.
