Cynthia McKinney served six terms, and she was replaced by another black woman. While I personally think McKinney was a nut, as did a large majority of her district, I also think that AOC should be given more time before she's condemned, at least six terms. 
Seriously, she hasn't even had a chance to get some experience and mature a bit. Give her a break. Why are so many people so worried about one person when the House is made up of 435! Over react much?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: ""You've got councilpeople who've been waiting 20 yrs for that seat.” That broken mentality, that public office is something you wait in line for, instead of earning through hard organizing, is exactly what voters want to change.

AOC is already way over Derec's head, that's what his problem is.
As for Ms McKinney, she's a lost treasure. America not benefitting from people like her is why America is where it is today.

AOC's dangerous because she understands economics and the monetary system and is an effective communicator.

You are the one who is obsessed with how 'brown' everybody is.
What I was going for are their radical leftism and their hatred of Israel.

And then she came back like a movie villain but was replaced for good by a black man. I know all that. I used to live in GA4.

Well, I did not start a thread. I also did not write gushing articles like this. Whether you or I understand it, she is getting a LOT of attention.

I think the larger issue is that she's female. Females should not be outspoken. I'd think people of color would have an ability to relate to that.
Oh yeah! That's it! - she's an "articulate woman". Right, Derec?

That must have been you. No?
Marx pointed out some problems in society. What he concluded from it was almost all wrong, though.

I'm betting cash money you have no hint of a clue about what Marx believed was the problem nor what he concluded, but feel free to prove me wrong.

Having never read Marx, I'm interested too.

Whe-- I mean, IF, if Loren reveals his lack of understanding on the topic, I may start a thread summarizing Marx's basic theory and ideas
