I think what scares people about the "Squad" and all the other new political figures, is that they are trying to change D.C. from the old white boy way of doing things. That is not a racist statement, it is fact

That is not a racist statement, it is fact Funny thing is that their biggest ally is an old white guy who has been a US senator for 40 years.

Maybe he has seen the error of his ways? Sanders has been pushing for the same policies his entire career.

Steve... never speak without thinking first. Just a tip. I choose not to answer Joe. All politicians lie to suit their own agenda. I'm a labour voter, I hate conservatives why? Because of the date 15/4/89. That was my family that happened to and the ensuing 27 years of lies almost destroyed mine and 95 other families. All politicians lie. Never presume to know someone's situation joe

@stokeysteve When you rail on Ocasio-Cortez, you are railing against someone who is working to keep power from falling into the hands of corporations. Here's an exchange where she questions a representative from Libra - a cryptocurrency being hawked by Facebook, Uber, Spotify and other enormous corporations. The point of her questioning is that these corporations are not democratically elected. If they control the money, then the money is no longer controlled by a democratic entity, robbing the people of control. I thought "socialism" was the threat to democracy. Why are you tagging me in this? I'm an English labour voter, and I only vote for them because they are the lesser of 2 evils, if I vote green or liberal it's a wasted vote.

This is a discussion forum, discuss or not but why join in if only selectivity

How, exactly, are they "as bad as" Trump? And how, exactly, would it be "just as bad" if one of them became president? Please help me understand why you think this. No You know nobody’s gonna see your point if you don’t explain it? Good god, conservatives really love making factless claims.

Wednesday should be fun but up until then, watch the deflections come fast and furious.. But let's be clear here: if Mueller presented incontrovertible evidence that Trump had committed felonies, given US intel to our adversaries, laundered hundreds of millions of dollars illegally, and screwed two dozen under-aged hookers while his wife was pregnant, 99% of Republicans wouldn't give the hair on a rat's ass about it. On the contrary, they'd probably love him even more. Pathetic.

Yeah go on Boris you terrible human, who needs Europe!
Oh wait... we do....
US have already said they won’t help with the Gulf shipping lanes... we don’t have enough resources available ourselves to deal with it. So Boris will be turning to our European allies for help... 😂

nobody is saying we don't need co-operation with Europe on quite a number of things but that doesn't mean we have to be part of the EU to do this
