    I watched that live and she was sharp as fuck during the whole thing. Really impressed the hell out of me. We need more like her.

      I’m not American, but AOC is absolutely one of my most favorite politicians. She is such a powerful and smart politician IMO, and consistently on the right side of the issues.

      Trump on the other hand, is the absolute bottom, funny how USA has such extremes.

          I must admit I don’t know if that’s a good theory, as in describing reality reliably. Most models are as much ideology as they are factual.

          The important thing is to weigh humanitarian values and the reality of economic effect sensibly.

          I think most democracies are trying to do that, but in USA the Republicans have obviously lost sight of humanitarian values completely. And that’s especially dangerous for a two party system.
