She's hot

America's future is looking bright if even half of those happen.

I love/hate how helping people is evil in the eyes of conservatives.

Also subsidized housing for all is a gross misrepresentation of housing as a human right.

In the sense that everyone should be able to have shelter. Kind of look at it the same as basic needs honestly.

Subsidized housing for all makes it sound like housing is something that should be provided by the government for everyone which is grossly inaccurate

Youll also have some fight tooth and nail for guns being a god given human right, and I kind of feel like shelter should come before that.

I can agree with most, even though I don't know what support for seniors or lgbt means. What's it mean, exactly? Also, what does womens rights mean?

Uncle Sam provides bridges for shelter. That should be bare minimum because it's free.

Government shouldn't HAVE to pay for someone if they're useless.

I mean..maybe they can, but the person should have to at least admit they're a liability on society.

There are many ways you can justify the government not having to pay for someone's housing.

But calling people "useless" or a "liability on society" is not cool at all.

So everyone who can't afford to pay rent or a mortgage is useless?

Are you denying that some people are literally liabilities? People in jail (free housing) are liabilities.

One (with a faulty sense of morality) could also argue that anyone who cannot work due to a disability is useless.

Everyone in society has the same rights.

What changes is that some people have means and others don't. Some people can pay for things and others can't.

That's it. Whether or not you should have the right to certain things that you can't pay for is one argument, and there's arguments on both sites.

But...

"Usefullness" to society is not a criteria for anything and it shouldn't be.

As far as production goes, yes.

Luckily, I am Christian so I feel compassion for all my fellow man. This country was founded on Christianity, and we try our best to take care of everyone (because Christianity is the best religion on Earth).

Abe Lincoln taught me honesty, though. So I still consider those people useless (they usually are).

Looks literally ripped straight out of the communist manifesto. I wouldn't even care though if they just dropped the hateful social baggage, maybe she can push the party in a better direction but I don't have much hope so far from what I've seen.

When you say "what you've seen", do you mean the past 100 years and hundreds of millions of people killed because of her ideology?

Well if you have the guns you can take the shelter from someone else. American Dream, really.

At any rate, I think Hannity trying to jump in front to discredit the Dem standout from the recent elections is gonna ultimately backfire on him. He has plenty of ammo to focus on the Dem core being corrupt and the fact that Republicans will soon have de facto control of the SCOTUS. Attacking this spunky young upstart makes him sound like the old curmudgeon that he is.

He could literally ignore Ocasio-Cortez. Treat her as a nothing that doesn't matter because look at all this other power that the Republicans have. By singling her out, he's giving her platform legitimacy.

That's what I'd do if I were an asshole.

The war in iraq cost over 1 trillion dollars.

Nah, I honestly don't like blaming people for shit that tangentially related shit that happened a long time ago especially before any of us was born. It's just that socialists are "cancer" because they preach tolerance but hold others to those insane standards too. The ones who are just chill and want better stuff for the working class I can get along with, even as a libertarian and sometimes nationalist.

To have the power to be able to purchase things, or have to hope that things are handed out with just as high as quality?

The Iraq war was a precursor to teaching us all tolerance and coexistence by starting a migrant crisis.

We don't have a country if it can't be defended, and now that business owners aren't being taxed to death jobs are plentiful and easy to attain again. The best social program is a job.

Many of the rich people support left-wing politics anyway. Why limousine liberal and champagne socialist is a thing. The genuine leftists recognize this phenomenon and work around it, while the dishonest ones just stick their head in the sand and are like "nope nope noooope everyone who disagrees with me is a privileged fat cat!!!!"

There's a limit to these things. The United States already spend more than enough on military. More than the next top spenders combined. I'm not saying eliminate it out right, but don't make it the ridiculous amount we do now.

And no, not talking about small business owners. Talking about people who used their tax relief to buy another yacht. Taxed to death my ass.

UBI, man. All these useless people won't be roaming the streets beating the shit out of each other like they are now with their basic incomes. They'll be spending their free time on their passions.
