This is FASCINATING. Watching these poor kids, who have come to believe that "the Earth is dying" and that "scientists have said we have 12 years to turn this around" - the indoctrination is sad. "My grandparent's house burned down in the Paradise fire", and then the kids suggests its due to climate change. Then, the come toting the Green New Deal into DiFi's office, and they run smack into a "condescending" DiFi.

She blames the Repubs for blocking Senate action - failing to mention that the Dems had the majority a few times during her tenure.

But these kids are channelling the new face of the Dem party, Ms Ocasio - Cortez, and her "Green New Deal". After a while, even DiFi has enough of the alarm-ism.

CNN? I guess you didn't get the memo, bro.

As usual, you're a tool and a dull one at that. The freshwoman, AOC has you poor old cons in a lather, breathlessly awaiting a leftwing Teabagger movement to destroy the Democratic Party the way your morons destroyed the GOP. I've heard that if you hold your breath long enough, you'll turn blue, Mike.

Typical nonsense. AOC has establishment Dems far more "in a lather" than she does anyone on the right.

The MSM loves to quote her and feature her. She's become the darling. And it only makes sense - Dems are more fond or soshulism than capitalism, at least according to Gallup, and of course according to some of the commentary here.

AOC isn't the only evidence of the continuing leftward shift of the Dem party. Bernie's success in 2016 emboldened a number of far left Dems to jump into the mix. As the Atlantic says quite succinctly, though: The future of the Democratic Party looks a lot like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

You can try to distance yourself all you want. You've celebrated the "demographic changes" that you think spell doom for Repubs, and maybe they will. But don't under-estimate how those same changes might impact the Dems as well.

Not really. MAGAMedia has at least a story a day about AOC. In any event, I'll take here and her two Muslim sisters over over Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert and Steve King.

...and twice on Sunday. After today's antics from Matt Gaetz, he should keep a sharp eye on his six for the next few years. I was watching Donnie Deutch on the tube today and the attack on Mike Cohen's wife and family won't go unnoticed. Stupid fecker.

I'm sure you would. And just think, at one time you were a John Kasich supporter. You continue your leftward drift...

I still like Kasich, Larry Hogan, Ben Sasse, Jeff Flake, Bob Corker and other moderate Republicans. In fact, I would vote for Larry Hogan (R-MD) over any Democratic candidate for President. I really like and admire him, as do most people in Maryland.

That said, AOC is still far superior to Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Steve King, Gym Jordan, Mark Meadows and anybody else in the wingnut, fact-free faction of your party. She was the best prepared and asked the most probing questions at the Cohen hearing, while your boys shouted, ranted and made complete sycophantic fools of themselves (kinda like you do here).

You really should stop getting all your news from Hannity and crew, it shows.

ps those 'demographic changes' that you're so worried about are unlikely to take place within my or your lifetimes, you nattering nabob of negativity.

Another useless post. I provided links to support my statements in the post that you responded to. None of them were from "Humanity". They were from publications that even you would consider mainstream.

If you're going to respond, please at least try to respond with something that makes some level of sense.
