Another sign of AOC raising her political chops……she knows when to be silent.I don't think AOC could beat J.D. Vance in the electoral college. I do think Gavin Newsom, Gov Josh Shapiro or Gov Wes Moore could. I hope it's one of those three that gets the democratic nomination. I would rather see AOC become speaker of the house.
You haven’t heard the MAGAtards say anything about her and the State of the Union speech. She knew that staying out of the mud with the Maggie’s was an excellent play.

) I always love to see that the only consistent argument against her is “she’s an idiot”, with no knowledge or logic applied. Originally Posted by elghundNonsense. Many people pointed out that her answer to the Taiwan question at the Munich conference was stunningly inadequate. Her rambling non-reply demonstrated she had "no knowledge or logic" to apply to a pressing foreign policy issue. Her critics, by contrast, used knowledge and logic to explain how inadequate her answer (or non-answer) was.
You may not like her positions, and that’s fine. But to say she is an idiot with no substantial reason is short sighted. Originally Posted by elghundWhat is her "position" on Taiwan? Oh wait, she doesn't have one - other than hoping Xi doesn't invade. If it makes you feel better, I'll refrain from calling her an idiot. Let's just agree she is an unserious politician who is lacking in intellectual substance or gravitas or foreign policy chops.
She’s an idiot. Another word salad talking dipshit. Hopefully America isn’t stupid enough to elect a woman President Originally Posted by StockingloverI wouldn't count on an ex bartender becoming President. She's not qualified because she's a woman. Women have no business leading a nation especially one that's compromised and unfit to lead.
...And if you think anyone actually has one that would work...well, please let us know, though I suggest a separate thread. Cuz I don't believe anyone who says they know how to handle this.

Get yerself a subscription to Foreign Affairs magazine. Almost every issue contains well-thought-out & well-written analyses of how the US should best "handle" the Taiwan situation and deter Xi.It's part of my news service, and I check it out sometimes. I will look for their Taiwan spiel. But regardless, I think criticizing AOC for this is going a bit deep, considering she has NOT really been discussed seriously for higher-level office. If/when she starts moving that way...sure. She needs to prepare better and be on her game. But whattaya think IDIOTS like Tommy Tuberville or Lauren Boebert have to say about Taiwan? They couldn't find it on a map of....Taiwan.
I would have cut AOC a little more slack if she had just uttered two words - "strategic ambiguity" - in her rambling, word salad non-answer. Originally Posted by lustylad
