    This is the sort of liberal rhetoric that I think is pushing people away from the party. Fiery? Whatever. Woman? I don't care. Minority? Again, don't care. Socialist? Yes, I care about this because I dislike the concept of socialism. Am I allowed to dislike her based on the fact that she supports something I dislike? Or am I sexist, racist, asshole for disliking her?

    Ocasio-Cortez is being lambasted for making a few blunders in a recent interview.  So she should be canned, right?  No, I don't think so.  That would be like saying Pearl Jam should be kicked off stage in the early days because Eddie botched a lyric or Mike missed a chord.  She's 28, has a lot of great ideas and lots of time to develop her political chops. Besides, compared to the blunders our current POTUS has made, her goofs are minor.  The media wants you to think otherwise.  Don't buy it.

    What do I like about here platform?  This:

    -She's hard-core pro environment.  Great start right there.
    -She's in favor of impeaching Trump.  Good to go!
    -She supports LGBT Community.  Right on.
    -Pro universal healthcare.  Seems very reasonable to me.
    - Wants tuition free college and trade schools.  Did I hear someone say "make America strong again"?  This is the way.
    -Believes housing is a human right.  And a humane viewpoint.
    -Supports reasonable campaign reform.
    - In favor of ending the war on drugs.

    In my opinion, a sound package.  Let's not give up on potential greatness. 
    In my opinion, she is a university trained barmaid ... with a degree in ignorance and a minor in intolerance .

    Ah ha! Now it all becomes clear.

    https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-ron-desantis_us_5b55e36de4b0fd5c73c76718

    Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) on Saturday referred to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democratic congressional nominee who is seen as a rising star in her party, as “this girl Ocasio-Cortez or whatever she is.”

    DeSantis, who is running for governor and has the support of President Donald Trump, made his remarks during a campaign event in Orange Park, Florida.

    “You look at this girl Ocasio-Cortez or whatever she is, I mean, she’s in a totally different universe,” he said to laughs. “It’s basically socialism wrapped in ignorance.”

    I'm sorry if I sound like a dink here but come on man, are you kidding?  She's a Democratic Socialist, not a Socialist.   How many times do the several of us who have pointed out that there is a difference between the two before the few here that don't (or WON'T) get it?  Are you really not reading or understanding this or is it easier to make a false statement that sounds like a good put-down? 

    OK, so instead of me just bitching at you, here it is ONE MORE TIME:

    Well that's a brilliant post.

    All I'm getting from you post is referring to Democratic Socialists as "dinks".   I didn't call anyone else names- I just basically said I didn't mean to sound like an asshole.
