Uh, no. AOC and her fans are so far left that anyone to the right of them is a centrist as the very least.

AOC is so far left that anyone to the right of her is, at the very least, centrist. In this same event she went on a rant how business owners need to give up their power. AOC is a nut.

@KA-uv8gq , easy. Let us look at some issues 1. Climate change. No one on the right denies it. They are skeptical in how much man plays a role (they admit we do), if it is a threat, and if government should be the one solving the issue. On the left they are screaming end of the world scenarios, pushing a 17 year old brainwashed girl on stage, and saying that the federal government needs to act drastically with the GND which overtakes our entire economy. No scientist is saying we need to act that quickly. Even Prof. Myles Allen, one of the lead authors of the IPCC report has been critical of the "end of the world" rhetoric. The left is too far left on this one 2. Abortion. The right is pro life but they want to leave abortion up to the states. And if you get an abortion they won't judge you. On the left they fear that Roe v Wade will be overturned even though that is not the actual abortion law of importance anymore. Casey v PP is. They were all scared of Kavanaugh overturning it but when he was given a chance to chip away at abortion laws he ruled in favor of PP. And a couple of states are pushing for late term abortions where many pro choice people even say that is extreme. The left is too far left on this one 3. Healthcare. The right agrees reform is needed but feel we should improve on the system we have now. Our healthcare system is strong in many ways. We lead the work in R&D and access to advanced care and thus survival rates of advanced illnesses. The left wants to completely dismantle our current healthcare system, ban private insurance, and completely replace it with Medicare where Medicare is losing money despite being subsidized through private insurance as Medicare has an 40% less pay out rate. The left is too far left on this one 4. Guns. The right says we have enough gun laws and have no problem with background checks as they exist currently as almost all sales have one except for private ones. The right is all for reducing violence as a whole and feel that simply banning guns won't do that. The left pushes kids on stage that calls anyone who supports guns murders with blood on their hand (basically what David Hogg was saying). They compared the NRA members to the Parkland shooter and said that NRA member does not care about kids. Kyle Kashuv, who was pro gun, was denied entry into Harvard even though his credentials were higher than Hogg's. The excuse was that he made "racist comments" in the past which is low to me. Almost everyone has made mistakes. Plus, Hogg has many many hateful comments as well. A double standard there the left is silent about. The left is open about banning guns, think about what Beto said. And those that don't are pushing to ban guns in a deceptive way. Despite hand guns causing the most deaths the push to ban the "scary" AR 15. If they can get the AR 15 banned that opens legal doorways to get other guns ban. The left is too far left on this one. Care for me to go on?

@EE-gv9wt , Burundi does not have a free market. They have a very controlling and oppressive government. It also has limited resources, and a low literacy rate. You do know there are other factors at play?

@andromidius , actually I have left the nation. I am taking an international business course right now. I have many friends who are international. As for me leaving my state, I moved 1500 miles away from my state.

@mattrogers6107 , no, on any spectrum democrats are far left. They are pushing to completely tear down programs and replace them with federal ones. That is radical in any nation.

@EE-gv9wt , I agree there are other factor in Denmark as well. But you are making this false idea that if we lower the min. wage in the US that the nation will get worse. Very few actually earn the min. wage. Most earn more. Why is that? Business have the option to pay less but instead they don't. The gas station down the street where I live pays $15/hr starting. That is a job that you only have to be 18 to do. Why are they not paying the min wage (which is around $8/hr in my state)? Based on your standard if we lower the min. wage every employer will lower wages. But why are they not doing it now? To me with lowering the min. wage or abolishing it all together will fill the gaps of many jobs that are not being done. When I was a kid McDonads used to hire people to just walk around with a bucket and rag wiping off tables. I don't see that anymore in any fast food restaurant. What I find to be funny is that leftists will raise the min. wage and then complain how slow a service is or how certain, remedial jobs don't get done. That is because there is no value in hiring people to do them with a higher min. wage. With a lower min. wage a company can hire teens or part time workers to do remedial jobs like wipe tables off, or sweep sidewalks, or organize shelves, etc. But that doesn't get done. Due to the min. wage you end up with lower production as a certain part of the workforce is not out priced. Thus certain jobs won't get done. Consider the moral that will increase when you go to a business and the sidewalk is swept. Little things like that matter but don't get done because of a higher min. wage.

@KA-uv8gq , so no counter argument I see.
1
@KA-uv8gq , I gave plenty of evidence. Again, on climate change. Saying the world is going to end unless we give full control of the economy to the federal government is being a radical. And I agree, a right is a right, and no state should not be allowed to rip them apart. What's your point?
1
@EE-gv9wt , to add, you are high lighting an issue with federal government programs like the min. wage. Once established they don't go away, they only expand.

@KA-uv8gq "No one is saying the solution is government control. The solution is a switch to renewables and other measures" Through government controlling the economy. When you control the energy sector you control the economy. The GND pushes to eliminate the use of fossil fuels causing all those jobs in that sector to disappear. It is pushing to replace all cars to be electric eliminating jobs in the car industry, especially in the use car industry as very few electric cars are used. Most will be new. It is pushing to end planes eliminating jobs in airports. What are you going to do with those loss jobs? The government will have to give them government jobs. That, and more will have a snowball effect where the federal government will, at the very least, over take the majority of the economy. The GND pushes to renovate buildings. The building I work in will be one of them. So while they are renovating it, which will take at least 2 years, what am I supposed to do for work? Will I get paid for nothing? Same goes for other buildings. You see how this is snowballing? "Stating what needs to be done is not radical in it of itself. " Does it need to be done? Is climate change a major issue? Scientist are unsure right now. So why push for radical changes? And is the federal government the route to go in improving our society? The left feels it is the only route where a moderate approach is considering many options both public and private. The left is only considering the federal government. AOC feels that M4A is the only solution. AOC feels the federal government must take demand on climate change. AOC feels that billionaires need to give up their power. So someone like Jeff Bezos worked hard to grow Amazon, give jobs, produce something, and add value should give up their power they earn? First, what power does Bezos have? Also, prior to Amazon he had no power, he earned it. AOC wants people like Bezos to give up his "powers" to other arbitrarily. That is radical. "The government HAD to do it because the private sector COULDN'T and in this case lack the will to do so. To do the switch you need government for the grand scale. Study history and how we retrofitted the economy before." History shows the private sector and states are far better at developing these programs. For example, it took Medicare 40 years to finally cover prescription benefits when private insurance was covering it long before that. "In far as states rights.....then what the hell was YOUR point in bringing it up? The right believes in completely outlawing it" Huh? The right supports state rights. "And gun control. Taking guns away is what the right parrots from the script of the NRA." It isn't. We have a lot of gun laws on the books. When a shooting happens the left pushes for more laws. One was banning the AR 15, that is a gun ban. Why? Because when you can ban one gun you can ban all. You open the legal doorways for that. So say the AR 15 is banned and another shooting happens? Then what. I want you to tell me your stopping point on gun laws. If you ban the AR 15 and another shooting happens, then what? More gun laws? Tell me. If you say the left is not radical then tell me your stopping point. Under Obama the democrats locked themselves in a room to get Obamacare passed. Democrats have simply been out of touch with the common man. Do you know why Trump was elected? Because democrats are radical and divisive. They create racism when non exist. They called the people rallying in Virginia Nazis and expected violence to happen. They claim they know what is best for you by wanting to raise your taxes. All they have done is ridicule those on the right and those that disagree with them. When you do that enough you get a president like Trump. Trump is a creation by the left due to how radical they are. Look at how the treated Kavanaugh for example. Look at the impeachment. How can you say they are not radical?

@KA-uv8gq , but let us go with guns here as i feel this is a great example. If you ban the AR 15 and expand background checks, what is your next plan if another shooting happens? Will it be more laws? Where is your stopping point? I have mine, where is your stopping point?
1
@KA-uv8gq , so you are not going to answer the question? I am going simple with you. At what point do you feel we will have enough gun law? If we pass the current gun laws being proposed and another shooting happens, what will be your approach? Your refusal to answer and bring up "Faux News" is really proving my point.
