She couldn't debate a comatose soapdish.

Her rebuttal would be, "Who are you to challenge ME?!"

I see lots of jibes and petty insults, yet I can't help feeling the reason the right are so frothing at the mouth against her is because she scares them, and with all the criticism levelled at Donald Trump, they need an outlet for their collective frustrations. Deep down they know they have been Hoodwinked by a conman, but they will never admit it. Instead they go after someone like AOC. 

If AOC is such a light weight, then why waste time attacking her? Why not focus on advancing the "rights" policy agenda?

Every post here is posted to get a response from someone.  That is why it's called a discussion  group.

I. Suggest you use the report button if you think something is a violation of the TOS we have highly paid mods that have spent years studying the TOS. .

 

Best not to use deragatory words to accuse posters of something they did not do. That is a TOS/ Parole violation 

Now welcome back and let's have fun 

I believe there is a difference between posting something for a discussion, and posting something with the sole purpose of getting a reaction i.e. trolling.

I ask myself that question all the time. The fox news demographic aren't known for their exceptional reasoning skills, that's for sure.  

How would you describe the other end of the scale? Hardly a good example, for example  what we saw happen to those kids at the weekend.

Seems AOC was the only one Dem to vote against the Dem bill to fund the Government, because it funded ICE.

You remember when they reported the right was outraged by her dancing. It was viral.

Only pronlem was no one cared the MDL manufacturerd the outrage . A lot of that still going on.

The swamp dwelling dems will soon tire of her antics and administer a beat down.

 

She not a rIsing star she is a shooting star, something shiny and dangly to wave in front of the millennium zombies

Both are the same thing. Posting something for the sole purposes of starting a discussion,  which is a reaction. Liol. I know what your trying to do.  I can tell you from experiance it will end badly for you.

Having an agenda and reporting for payback , which i have been guilty of before I got clean, usually ends badly for the person with the agenda. 

 

Why dont you just hang out, have fun. Get in a few snarky jabs here and there (all in fun) and just have fun here.

    I think there is a recognizable difference between wanting a reaction from a discussion and trolling someone.

I guess its like beauty, its all in the eyes of the beholder. If I know some here are very anti trump and i post an article outlining his accomplishments is that trolling becuse i am looking for a reaction or is it opening a discussion becuse i am looking for a reaction either way.

I think the point is some posters thru the years, who have been butt hurt, start trying to paint every little thing in Its a violation of TOS, Hopefully then they can set up agenda reporting.  

 

Most of us  here get along and roll with a sarcastic jab or two with a good laugh. I get that more than anyone here. But actually think most of it is hilarious 

 

My point was. We got a good group , and most get along fine. Lets keep it that way.

   I think it often starts with the intent of a discussion. Which I agree is wanting to see people's reaction to the topic. Just because a topic is volatile doesn't mean it can't be discussed. If it get's to the point of trying to provoke emotional responses or making fun of someone or bickering, then it's more into the realm of trolling. I think some people get very good at staying in that grey area in between. Not as many as there used to be though.

Agree . I can love anybody that has a sense of humor. Is ok with a little bit of good natured sarcasm.  Its hard sometime cause the middle of the road is lonely. Just me since lost in blue left
