MDC 5,923 Posted August 10, 2018 Dont blame her for thinking Shapiro made this offer in bad faith but it was really, really dumb to liken it to catcalling. Shes not the face of the Democratic Party but she is becoming the face of the Democratic Socialist wing of the party. Also people talk about her like shes smoking? I think shes an attractive woman but nothing special. I guess for a politician shes unusually hot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sho Nuff 720 Posted August 10, 2018 I don't think she's the face of the Democratic party either. I do however believe she's becoming the face of the Bernie Sanders "Democratic socialist" or "socialist" or "progressive" wing or whatever term they wanna use.AGree here.

RLLD 3,465 Posted August 10, 2018 Shapiro debates people, it is part of the fabric of what he does. I can allow that she might not understand that, and will also allow that her lack of understanding and maturity made her jump to the standard leftist tactic of labelling. Â She needs to buck up a little of course, but if I were advising her....no way in hell do I let her near Shapiro, he would eviscerate her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iam90sbaby 2,134 Posted August 10, 2018 The left is so focking stupid Shapiro would completely destroy her and you'd have idiots like Sho saying that she "held her own" or something.

I haven't followed anything particular about Ocasio, so not sure on how should fare on a debate with him. But yes, no way in hell should she go on his show to debate him. The prospect of gaining anything is so effing slim it would be pointless.

Â Yeah, I did too. I liked Shapiro's sometime Trump line. It was a good point. Its why I think people are not as divided as some would have you think. You can have voted Trump and not back everything he says or does...you can call out Trump and not have derangement syndrome. More importantly, everytime someone says something, they are not speaking for the left or right, they are just giving their opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,257 Posted August 11, 2018 I think the bigger problem the left has is she's out there all over the place doing interviews, podcast and no one on the left has grabbed her by the poosy and told her to shut the fock up. She's becoming the face the Democratic Party and nobody has put her in check. That's going to be a problem. Â The dems are doing a major phayle throwing her out there before she is ready.

trumpurethra 42 Posted August 11, 2018 Hate to do it but agree with the chick here. I mean she is kind of labeling him a misogynist. So she is stooping to his level. But he shouldn't have made a spectacle out of inviting her to debate. If he was serious about discussion, he wouldn't have the need to publish his request for debate on social media. Â If he was legit he would contact her directly and invite her. Also not thorw the 10 grand around and say "look at me, look at me". Then if she refuses his request to debate he could make it a story. But even that is a bit iffy to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
