I think this young lady has put her thumb right on the pulse of what is going on....... I often wonder what "utopia" these ungrateful people are seeking? Will they propel our world right into a scene like "Soylent Green" where government determines who gets born, who gets what luxuries, and when and how people die?

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I pay attention to the news and I haven't heard any Dem candidates say they intend to "fix the so-called injustices of capitalism".

But I did hear AOC challenge voters stop hiding behind words like socialism, capitalism, communism, etc. and talk about issues case by case.

The issues at hand are affordable healthcare and affordable education.

558,000 homeless....stagnant wages causing hunger......minimum wage is worth 27% less than it was 50 years ago........College loans are crazy high....people in their 40's with good jobs are still paying for their education.....And there are an estimated 45,000 deaths a year from lack of health-care........When Trump shut down government for 35 days, people with good jobs needed to go to food-banks, had to choose between rent and gas..........etc......

And the price of disaster relief is mounting as Climate Change causes weather disasters......and the stupid Trump government is still pretending it's not real.......You may not see it in the coffee-shop, and you can live in denial, but the Millennials don't have that option......they are inheriting the problem and are frustrated as the dinosaurs in power play fiddle as Rome burns.......The Earth is drowning in pollution, the seas are dying, the top 1% has most of the money.........but prosperity ........but prosperity .......BUT PROSPERITY........,

America was great when there was control over capitalism.
Control over the banking industry.
Loan sharking was illegal--now we have credit card interest rates sky high.
Price gouging could wind up in court.
Control over price of oil
Control over utilities.
Gold standard with government ownership.
Windfall profit tax--rather than 1031 avoidance of tax.
Banks not allowed to sell stocks or insurance.
Savings & loan banks for housing only
Party On!

    Quoting  :

Trump did shut down the government for 35 days........and it is really stupid to pretend that Climate Change is not happening......That is not "blaming Trump" for what you claim .........You really need to stand back and get some perspective on your reflexive defense of Trump.......You had no compunction in blaming Obama for every damn thing when he was president......Trump is president now and he is responsible for his actions as much as every president...

Utopia lol ..

Again, and speaking of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez .. she has challenged voters to stop hiding behind words and talk specifically about issues. Why not just say healthcare instead of utopia?

Here's some of what Trump promised you on government involvement in healthcare … "INSURANCE FOR EVERYBODY’. No one will lose coverage. Healthcare will be a lot less expensive for everyone .. NO CUTS TO MEDICAID .. EVERYBODY’S GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF"

Did you vote for a socialist .. are you a socialist?
