RE: Will she be their pet socialist or will they squash her like a cockroach?

Unfortunately, this is NOT a statewide or even a city wide race. It is a congressional district race and her constituents are mostly sympathetic to socialism. Suffice it to say that a Republican does not have a chance at winning here.

You WILL see her in DC come 2019.

You didn’t answer my question. You went off on a special-snowflake virtue-signalling rant.

I repeat my question.

Would the ChiComs be producing goods to ship to the United States if the United States wasn’t giving them money in return for those goods?

It’s a yes or no question.

Voters should be very afraid of this woman’s ideals.

In reality (yes, I know it’s a concept that liberals
have a hard time grasping.) this crazy eyed moron has
only won the NOMINATION of her party. She is not and
will not become a congressperson, no matter how annointed
she is by the fawning liberal media.

The democrat socialists are still fundraising. What does that tell you?
If they succeed they will just steal wealth instead.

This is an entirely racial election. Ideas have zero to do with the outcome. Crowley was crushed because he is white, and for no other reason.

The 20th century was the century of ideology. The 21st is the century of the blood.

She’s actually not entirely wrong. Marx and Engel said that Socialism is “end stage of Capitalism.”

They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do.” - Arthur Jensen (Network)

I do think that right now, when we have this no-holds-barred Wild West hypercapitalism, what that means is profit at any cost. Capitalism has not always existed in the world, and it will not always exist in the world. When this country started, we did not operate on a capitalist economy.

Perhaps capitalism has not always existed but some on the oldest examples of writing are sales ledgers. So, capitalism has existed as long as recorded history.

Wild West hypercapitalism, let us call it by its usual name; ‘the black market’, only exist where capitalism is out lawed such as communist states.

What kind of history was this woman taught? One of the primary reasons this country exist is to establish a nation where people were free to trade freely without government interference. Alexander Hamilton was a smuggler and black marketer (or as she would say a hypercapitalist)

That's true!

After the first year of Socialism the Pilgrims were dying and starving so they switched to a more free enterprise based system and SURVIVED!!! Its history. Not taught in the government run academies though.

When she gives 90% of her income away every month then I might consider her argument simply because she is putting her money where her mouth is. Till then; nah.

I could never get behind what she says; just that I would give it due consideration if she practiced what she preaches. We all know Bernie Sanders if a big fat liar with his 3 luxury homes.

How ignorant is Alexandria? Haven’t we always had individuals who bought and sold their own wares?
