You said you found it interesting that the election of Trump is a result of the pendulum swinging from the left, but AOC's election isn't a result of the pendulum swinging from the right. It isn't as "interesting" of an observation when you consider they were elected in totally different types of elections, hoss.![]()
Thanks hoss, the technical aspects of the election methods is exactly what needed to be clarified here.
Once again, how the hell is the US going to change the climate? I postulate the following:

The pendulum of the Bronx/Queens is always left.
That is the why as well, smart ass. I can't figure out if you truly don't get it or if you're being pedantic.Again, thanks for the civics lesson but we're talking about the why, not the how.
C'mon man, catch up.
That is the why as well, smart ass.
AOC was elected in a parochial election. Nowhere near a representative sample of the country, and it always is hard left. Donald was elected in a nationwide electoral vote. Hence Donald's election was more evidence of something, AOC's was not. If a far-right Tea Partier was elected in rural Texas, would that be evidence of some "interesting" trend that was taking place?
The sun comes up in the morning, 1+1 = 2, and Bronx/Queens elected a strong Democrat. Big deal. It isn't a sign of anything other than what always occurs happened again.
The fact that Queens/the Bronx elected her, or someone like her, isn't evidence of anything remotely interesting or insightful.LOL, if you say so.
You guys sure are spending an inordinate amount of time tearing down a plain ole' also-ran democrat from a blue state. She's totally not a product of the pushback, totally.
Meh, I have about 5.5 years and I am going to be the biggest free stuff Liberal ever. Going to pull every dime I have out of the bank, hide it and live on SS and Medicare. Pay your ****ing taxes b**ches!The fact that Queens/the Bronx elected her, or someone like her, isn't evidence of anything remotely interesting or insightful.
Whether or not she and her message take hold at a national level is another question. I wouldn't totally rule that out, so don't lump me in with others in the thread. I see how her message is appealing, even if I disagree with it.
