And they stand in stark contrast to the GOP's beast. Like it or not, popularity is a major component of politics. And part of her popularity is her beauty. Her ability to run circles around them intellectually, and eloquently, makes her a great stateswoman.

It frustrates me when so many Americans group all politicians together as not to be believed, but I think most of us recognize someone who is sincere in their beliefs - and in their humanity. AOC is not alone in that category, but exemplifies the honest politician who really cares about helping people (as opposed to worshipping at the altar of corporate profit, to receive big campaign donations).

I believe you're mistaken if you think that most of the Democratic Party doesn't understand that what AOC is saying is important. The number of people who have voted "uncommitted" is not truly a minority. Others feel the way they do, but also want to make sure that Biden (instead of someone who has no chance of being known well enough to defeat Trump) won the primary. We need the folks who voted "uncommitted" (or its equivalent) to let their voice be known so that the administration can change its direction. (It already has changed to being less conciliatory to Netanyahu and letting him know that the consequences are not benign if he continues to ignore what the US has been telling him since the beginning. Remember, when the October 7 massacre occurred, Biden's team told Netanyahu "Don't make the mistakes we made after 9/11." Unfortunately, Netanyahu ignored that advice.)

As long as the uncommitted folks realize how worse things could post election. Pretty creative way of expressing their views; I just hope they begrudgingly still vote for someone even if the conflict's current situation isn't to their liking. No point in cutting off your nose to spite your face. Staying uncommitted in Nov could possibly lead to a ruinous future here.

A thoughtful and specific question, then the time and space to answer with care and eloquence. This is how one should conduct interviews on political topics, with those who have the capacity to speak intelligently: Allow them to do so. (Those politicians who speak in word-salad talking points should not be given the same space, because they obfuscate with gibberish- they need to be kept on a short leash and held accountable to the facts, rather than be allowed to blather on about nothing- or worse, to blather on spreading lies and falsehoods. That's the difference between a con-job politician like MTG, and one who truly understands and cares, like AOC.

Conservatism was the ideology of the Southern states during the Civil War they started over slavery. Those conservatives wanted free labor. _Liberal Republican_ Abraham Lincoln, that cannabis smoking, 'All Men are Created Equal' lawyer from Illinois freed those slaves. Conservatism was the ideology of the business owners who used *child labor,* from the mines to the fields to the factories. Conservatives were, and still are, against Unions like the ones that ended child labor. Conservatives are *against education* and teachers' Unions. The conservative ideology has always been against 99% of the population, they just don't want people knowing that. That is why Rupert 1% Murdoch spreads propaganda throughout the World hiding conservatives' *crimes against Humanity.* America's Motto: *FROM MANY ONE* The Confederacy's Motto: *UNDER GOD*

The most central feature of conservatism is deference: a psychologically internalized attitude on the part of the common people that the aristocracy are better people than they are. It is crucial to conservatism that the people must literally love the order that dominates them. For conservatives, democracy is a psychological condition. People who believe that the aristocracy rightfully dominates society because of its intrinsic superiority are conservatives; democrats, by contrast, believe that they are of equal social worth. Conservatism is the antithesis of democracy.

The uncommitted vote was a promise that we will *NOT* be there for you if you don't address our concerns on this issue.
