Just donated $15 to his campaign hoping he wins. I've listened to some of his other interviews and he seems like a much more sensible person than AOC

Even more sensible? That does sound interesting. We rarely hear about sensible US politicians here.

I mean not really. In a sense that I'm about to be out of a job for a month then yeah

Im having trouble finding any info on this guy other than the fact that he is running for that seat in 2020

Does he even have a website or anything with his policy stances?
---

How about a summary of his political stances? Googling his name just gives me the life-story of an ex-con.

Outside of being a republican here are some unique things:

Off the top of my head I recall him wanting to make a way for felons to "apply" to have there felon remove if there a peaceful, involved individual after 7 years.

There was another thing of him using legislation to invest and protect small business.

He wanted to create opportunities for parents to come into school and learn the curriculum so they can help their child

If there's anything else I remember I'll post it later or not :P

Yeah, since US prison system is about punishment/revenge and not rehabilitation, I am not sure whether that would work as intended.

Would depend on the details.

Sounds nice, but probably superfluous. Just sounds like a way to increase the teachers' load even further.

Should be closer to 5 years instead of 7.

I like his Felon thing

He's obviously a race traitor or, what was the term the racists at CNN (think it was them) used? "Pocket black guy"?

Anyway, anything is better than that dumb, mental bitch that is Antoinetta Pizzaro Cortez.

What the fuck are you trying to say

i feel like all these anti-AOC people know nothing about her or her politics at all. educate yourselves instead of letting corporations dominate every facet of your lives.

Pretty sure he's saying that you could have being a felon removed from your record so you can vote and the like

I don't know about this approach, but I would certainly agree that some delineation is in order for people that sort their shit out.

You don't need to know about what she believes to see that she obviously has no idea what the hell she's talking about half the time,I don't know how a person like her managed to stumble into a position like that

I really cant take her seriously after the video with her terrified of her garbage disposal

There is absolutely no reason why felons can't vote.

I am listening to all the stupid shit she says on Twitter and the constant backpedalling she says on the stupid shit she constantly says.

She has no clue what she's doing. She's dumb. She's useless. She was a gender hire/elected official.

And you seriously played the corporation card? Talk about ignorant. Please tell me which corporation told me what I need to know about Cortez? Mondalez? Coca-Cola? Microsoft.

Please stop making a fool of yourself.

AOC and sensible have no place in the same sentence, unless that sentence is "AOC is the furthest thing from sensible."

Uh huh. Please spare us the typical "I am offended" speech, we're unfortunately becoming used to them these days. Please tell me what corporation has now direct control of my perception of reality to influence my opinion on Sangria Dorazio Pizzaro Cortez? I mean, the typical nonsense and insanity is kinda cute, but as sjw's have taught us, it leads nowhere productive.

Based on the ethnic make-up and voting history of the 14th District, I'd say you're extremely optimistic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_14th_congressional_district

The district hasn't been represented by a Repiblican since Jan. 1993, and there's a decent chance that she was elected based on being the daughter of the man who resigned to take another government position. And if I'm interpreting that article correctly, he wasn't elected by the 14th district, but rather became their representative via redistricting. And before them, the district hadn't voted for a Republican since 1920.

Since 1996 (the farthest back it has results for, disregarding the lone earlier result from over a century prior), Democrats have received over 70% of the vote.

Which means you either know nothing about AOC or nothing about American politicians.

You can look anywhere in the world for proof of that, at least where democratic ideas are observed. Democracy doesn't protect against foolishness, it just changes the source of the foolishness.

Most US politicians are centre-right to extreme right.

Alexandria is more left-leaning than most are used to in the US and she catches a lot of misguided flak for it.

It's funny how you talk about the right being obsessed with her yet you talk about her more than anyone. You defend her adamantly like some sort of brainwashed fundie

I really dont have much to say about her at all. I dont think Ive ever made a single topic regarding the woman

Yet right wing posters cant seem to help themselves from bringing her up multiple times a day and any topic about her seems to get dozens of posts of yall frothing at the mouth about her
