I really don't get this argument when we've seen private hospitals deny care due to vaccination status but we haven't seen that happen with government run hospitals.
She ran against the Queens Democratic party boss who had been in that seat forever. She was a huge underdog. He had the support of the entire national party and he outspent her by millions.
Again, every hospital that denied care to someone due to vaccination status was private. This is actually an argument for government run healthcare, not against it.
Unfortunately I personally don't think any member of Congress from either party has accomplished anything substantial in the past few years AOC included. She has had a positive effect pushing her own party to the left such as with gaining support to ban members from trading stocks and getting...
Yeah it's crazy how the youngest woman to be elected to our Congress in the country's history wasted so much time to become a professional member of society. The old hag.
Her father died while she was in college. When she graduated she took on jobs to help her mom, who cleaned houses for a living, pay the bills. She then became the youngest congresswoman in this country's history.
When you're well off you graduate with no debt (because mommy and daddy paid for...
I'm not trolling if you check out my responses. I'm having an honest discussion about AOC who this thread is about. I have been called a shithead and stupid, told I was on drugs, told I have the same understanding of economics as a potato, and told that my "gray matter was dismissed." But I knew...
Medicare already exists, covering millions of the elderly who wouldn't be able to afford healthcare otherwise since nobody has a decent pension anymore and you don't lose coverage for eating red meat, smoking or choosing to be unvaccinated.
"And how much better would the Medicare crowd be if...
Regarding the Amazon tax break since you mentioned that specifically - they were going to be given almost $2 billion in refundable tax credits. Non-refundable tax credits reduce your tax (what you are referring to). Refundable tax credits are actually a check that the state sends Amazon if they...
He set me up for that. I had to.
Let's not play dumb and pretend like we don't know how taxes and government spending work. Most people who are against Medicare for all have multiple people in their family whose lives would be devistated if they didn't have Medicaid or Medicare but most people...
It would be just as "free" as when you don't have to pay the police out of pocket every time they show up to your trailer because you're beating your wife again. Same way they get paid.
This is funny because she's not a socialist, she (like Bernie) just want people to have free healthcare like the rest of the world does. If that is socialism then aren't all services provided by the government socialism? Doesn't make sense. This is an argument by people who don't know what words...
I feel like everyone dunking on her for being a blue collar worker was also in love with the idea of Joe the Plumber because he was a blue collar worker. Same folks convinced themselves Trump was for the common man while he actually was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, sh*ts in literally...
Fair enough! At least you're paying attention. I just can't stand it when people repeat crap they heard on TV and don't bother to look into it. If anyone disagrees with what she actually pushes than you're all entitled to your opinion. I've got no beef with that.
You might be new to how politicians raise money but you don't bring money to their office you donate to their campaigns. But if you did want to show up with big bags of cash I guess you could try to bring them to one of her two offices in New York: one in Jackson Heights and one in Queens. Do...
I'd love to know something of substance you all hate about her. Other than you think she's a dummy and you're favorite radio talk show host hates her.
I see a 43 page circle jerk of memes. But this started as AOC going after Pelosi. Isn't she better than that old hag who is worth $100 million?
The application goes to the city police, city police do background investigation and interview, city judge approves then the county actually issues permit.
Hi guys - Been enjoying the forum for a while and decided to apply for a permit in the city of Albany. Does anyone have any recent experience with time frames? I'm expecting a very long wait.
