Yea, I knew there was a problem with AOC, and some of the other progressives,
when their mantra became: defunding the police! Something about it was just really strange (and insincere) and quite frankly, REALLY DUMB. And off...
And now here, with this story (which has made them look hollow, disingenuous, hypocritical, and phony) has really earned them (and rightly so) some pretty harsh criticism. Which could very well also be reflected in the mid-term elections. (Showing them to be like their own worst enemy). With all the being said however, I myself do believe that the public funding of elections (and not taking corporate money) should be like a basic foundation; which IS sorta' like part of the progressive politician's platform. And in that respect, still makes them better then most of the other hollow, disingenuous, hypocritical, and phony politicians, BY FAR! But, this is just another example (that as they have in many European countries) why we need more then just two political (controlling) parties to begin with; as the Democratic party itself (like the Republican Party) does not have a ban on taking corporate money as part of their platform to begin with. There, seems to be the problem. Although it doesn't necessarily eliminate bad candidates, it cuts the problem of corrupt (selfish) politicians, like Mitch McConnell for example, entering the political arena (for their own self interests) by ALLOT! But that's up to the American people themselves...
And speaking of Mitch McConnell, this is one hell of an unusual, but interesting video (no pun intended) for more reasons then one. Oh, yea...
