"Get used to me slaying": The Journal of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - Page 25 - Politics and Economics

BBM

Lots of hate for Assange from all quarters. But unless someone is willing to publish the truth we may as well kiss goodbye to having an informed electorate.

Where was the Truth about the Republicans? Becoming partisan destroyed whatever objectivity he had and showed he wasn't showing the truth but advancing his own objective. A democracy shouldn't be beholden to some dickhead who can't clean out a litter box.

Emails showed him railing against Clinton, having talks with the Trump campaign and even asking them to give him some documents so he could maintain a cover of objectivity while releasing the Clinton docs

So, they published actual emails, therefore, they somehow aren't a shady propaganda outlet of the Russian government?

The truthfulness or non truthfulness of the documents isn't why people turned away from him. On a personal level everyone around him said he is weird, demanding, narcissistic, holds grudges etc. On a political project level, privately associating with one side of a Presidential election while projecting an air of neutrality is enough to have people question what you're doing. He at least contacted and probably worked with the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence to drop leak documents in order to influence an election all while claiming to not have contact with either. His lying is enough to not be cheering for him.

Such a positive use of social media. A politician couldn't expose the ludicrousness of our politician system like she is on a play by play basis without it. I've felt so hopeless about our political system, but she's actually giving me a little bit of hope these days.

Good to see a charismatic politician aggressively pushing a positive agenda.

It's not about slavery, it's actually the opposite. They want those spots to go to elites. If high-achieving but poor kids can't afford to do an unpaid year in DC, that's less competition for the Eric Trumps.
