But my input on this topic isn't to discuss the realities of the current economy, the past or anything like that, I'm talking hypothetical scenarios with people like AOC against the likes of Trump.Alright, that was a harsh response, but your post was just.... I can't think of a way to politely phrase it.
Have you looked at where the stratification of American (the thread topic) wealth is going these last 40 years? How far out of control it is already, and how the trend just keeps on accelerating? That the super rich now have ALL the wealth and ALL the power and ALL the control in Washington? Where do you think that road ends?
In any just society inequality will exist. The question is the level of inequality a society is willing to tolerate.Everything you have said after this is pretty much void, because you have started off by stating "Honestly, I don't really care about social stability and worker's rights."
And Trump's speechwriter is about the same age as Cortez. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer either. I had high school classes with him.
surely he has a team,not an individual?
Exactly this.She's attractive for sure and has some policies that I might agree with, but then she jumps the shark and goes on about abolishing ICE or this New Green Deal which is more idealistic than it is practical. I actually agree with using green energy more and eventually phasing out fossil fuels, but you can't do it the way she wants to. One thing I will say is that I appreciate her anti war stance and her overall consistency.
Her role for now will be pushing the Democrats to the left, a few 2020 presidential candidates have already embraced the green new deal and mediciare for all, so she definitely has a lot of influence. This is the reason the right wing is terrified of her. She is very popular and resonates with young progressives.
She comes out with a lot of misinformed statements which I guess comes down to her being young and inexperienced.
The "unwilling to work" bit is what people were really going crazy about:

Maybe she should just come up with policies and get Mexico to implement them for her
We differ in politics but even then she was a strong personality & idealistic - I was shocked but not shocked to see her on the news! She means well overall.
Be fair though, it's genuinely hilarious every time he claims to be the world's expert on everything.Yeah, Trump would claim that he's not an expert, instead of claiming that he knows more about it than anybody on the planet.
