True. That’s a huge advantage. I’m sure Putin clued him in on not allowing his opponents to live longer than necessary.
And if AOC had run for President (or won), that would be a very appropriate comparison. But, at least at the national level of politics, a House representative is the starting point, while President of the United States is more of an end point. If experience is what one is focused on, it seems a lot more important that one have experience when going for and executing the highest office rather than the lowest (again, in the arena of national politics). You're essentially saying something similar to "This entry level clerk is popular for her ideas, but has no more experience than the CEO! Why isn't she getting as much flak for her lack of experience as the CEO?"
Actually that’s not what I was saying. I was comparing their tactics for getting attention and pointing out that they’re both windbags. Haven’t accomplished anything. Barfo was the one who was talking about their age difference in terms of accomplishment and I merely said that they’ve had roughly the same amount of time in public office.
That "hasn't accomplished anything" is the point. She's just starting out--it's reasonable that she hasn't accomplished anything yet. Trump is at the "end result" of the political spectrum, as President. It's a lot less reasonable that he "hasn't accomplished anything." You ask why Democrats "haven't made the connection" between AOC and Trump--it's because their situations aren't very comparable. You perceive them the same because it seems like you consider the fact that they both use the media a lot and haven't achieved much politically to be the most important traits of each. Democrats are unlikely to consider Ocasio-Cortez's lack of accomplishment to be a primary trait because she's just started. She's not supposed to have any achievements yet.
It’s a sliding scale. Can a president accomplish more than a freshman congresswoman? Absolutely. But regardless of size or magnitude of accomplishment, has she accomplished anything tangible? Anything at all?
She's two months into her first term. Is that relevant to your criticism? Also, it's not just "this is Trump's first political experience too." Lacking political experience or accomplishment at the start is common for a freshman Rep--it's not common for a President.
It’s relevant in that neither of them have earned the admiration that they have garnered. She hasn’t accomplished anything. Show me, don’t tell me.
A smart politician does both. She already has more influence than a first term Representative should have, because she's good at the retail side of politics. It's up to her do the "show me" part--the fact that she hasn't within two months isn't an indictment. If she never gets to that stage, then it will be.
I still could care less about your multiple threads about the Mueller investigation. When you PM'd me assuming I had deleted your threads, I was stressed about the Nurkic injury. While I had earlier considered merging your many threads (there was no cause to delete them) after I recieved a complaint about them, I decided against it. I saw no reason to interupt your circle jerk. I saw no harm in your threads. I would not give you the further benefit of dressing such an action as political bias and rendering it as a tool to attack a mod, to attack a liberal. It seems my absence from playing such a role of the culprit didn't stop you. Logically, I deduced it was probably Sly who had in seeing the same or a similar complaint had decided to merge them. Since our last discord I have tried my best to agree to disagree with you. I don't appreciate you insulting me. I can assure you my head has been no where near my anal cavity. I do not suffer from made up illnesses. I am sometimes rude. As often are you. It is our inalienable right.
>>> Thank you for your indulgence. >>> You were the only mod listed as online when I noticed the threads were gone. It seemed logical to ask you first. >>>Really too bad about Nurkic. Dammitt! Sorry you were stressed. >>> Cool! Neither do I. >>> I had no intention initially of attacking anyone. I simply did not know what had happened to my Thread. I do not know why I would be expected to know. >>> Thank you for your patience. I didn't get piss for not knowing what happened for most of a day. I did not create this thread until many hours had passed, nearly a day later than the thread in question, with no answers. >>> Thanks for sharing. >>>You have done well too. I appreciate it. >>> I did not intend to do so. I did not insult you or I sure don't know where I did. You point out the insult to me, I will apologize. >>> Good to hear. However, I don't think I asked or suggested.
