It’s not about “soundly beating”. It’s about finding common ground.
To be fair... I think there are reasons to drop out of high school other than being a dunce. My uncle dropped out of high school to help my grandpa on the farm. On the other hand, my brother dropped out of high school because he hung out with a bunch of 20 year old losers when he was 15. So I think there is some wiggle room.

I think you missed on this one. My notebook has SF as leaning D side and his post indicated we should recognize good ideas from both sides. I just wanted to know from his perspective what he feels are the good ideas from the Republican side. I voted Trump the last two times, but consider myself more in the center.
But Granny isn't gone. She and thousands of other Puerto Ricans are still suffering the consequences of never receiving all the aid that Trump promised. Hard to move forward when one can't afford the repairs or to rebuild.
I'm not talking about Granny. I'm talking about moving forward for Trump.
No, he hasn't, but this country (Puerto Rico in particular) are still feeling the consequences of his time in office and will continue to do for the next decade.
Of course they will. This was nothing more than a publicity stunt. No politician of either party would accept funds raised specifically to ridicule and mock them as was done here, as it would be used against them in negative political ads that write themselves.
If bringing attention to Grandma's plight alleviates the suffering of lots of other Grandmas, then maybe that's not such a terrible thing.
People who refuse to take care of their own families probably don't give a #### about yours.
I don't know how you reach that conclusion. I'm much more worried about the people that only care about their own families.
Not sure, foxnews reported the family isnt accepting it. I dont know what GoFundMe does at that point
Hopefully they can figure out a way to use it to help other suffering Puerto Ricans.
What do you think it was to post pictures of her grandmother's poor living conditions? Oh a publicity stunt?
I think it's a pretty logical conclusion.
She is concerned for all the people suffering there. Helping her grandma doesn't alleviate her concerns for the other 99.99% of Puerto Ricans.
Let me know when she starts.
I don't mean to imply she doesn't. I'm saying she wants to tax people that are paying their taxes more to help pay for more socialist policies.
Used as a tool by the right wing. AOC never asked for financial help, just used her as example of one of the many people in Puerto Rico still suffering the aftermath of the hurricane who never received all the funds Trump promised.
But why even bring your grandmother into it then?
AOC used her grandmother as a tool to remind everyone how bad Trump was. She wanted to get her anti-republican points for the day. Don't post pictures of your grandmother's poor living conditions and then tell me "this isn't about my grandmother."
That's exactly what she's doing.
Who says it isn't about her grandmother. It is about all people like and including her grandma that have not been able to do needed repairs or rebuilding because all the funds promised by Trump never arrived.
She's still using her a political tool.
If their extended family is suffering as a result of political decision, yes they should and have every right to talk about it.
She has the right to talk about anything she wants. And Republicans have the right to respond to what she's talking about. Let's be very clear @squistion I'm not saying she doesn't have the right.
Yes, she could have but it wouldn't have gotten much attention, or probably the same amount as from other politicians in the continental US that have no connections to Puerto Rico (which is to say very little attention).
I think it's pretty easy to say "Look at the suffering of Puerto Rico" and show generic pictures that aren't of your grandmother's home. "It's time for the US to act."
Yes, but with a larger context
