Political Discussions for "Adults"

In the next debate I hope one of the candidates rake Warren over the coals for being a past Republican. She was 47 when she switched parties.

When you think about that honestly it really only leaves you with Bernie.

Oh yeah she was a Reagan Youth.

Good point, I didn't even remember it was her that switched.

What was she wrong?

Just to be sure, we checked with the author of the Nation article, Dave Lindorff.

"She's wrong," he said.

Thanks for the in-depth explainer, Dave.

Yeah well in the interview I linked to she admits that she is still improving on getting all her information straight. Maybe I’m just Trumper for the left but I don’t even care if the left pulls information out of their ass at this point. #posttruth

that makes the claim like outrageously false even if everyone can agree with the sentiment, that the Pentagon is wasteful, and the money would be better spent on national health

Sanders has been doing it since 1960 and he’s a broken record.

AOC is 29 I think. And was she even in office yet when she tweeted that?

AOC has her heart in the right place but she makes Trump look like a genius most of the time so I don't have much sympathy for her. And I'll have even less sympathy for her when Yang or Bernie tries to get something passed (if they win) and she ends up undermining their efforts through her ignorance.

Dude. She’s like 25 IQ points higher than Trump.
