Do I smell a double standard here?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I smell awkward wording, at the very least.

She is right. Paul Ryan ought to be the laughingstock of national politics with his magic asterisk budget and the other awful ideas he tried to promote all these years.

[gerritcole]

her endorsement will be coveted in 2020

[darklordoftech]

Where are the people saying that "we can't afford" Ryan's policies? Where are the people calling Ryan's ideas "gaffes"?

[Strudelcutie4427]

Because Paul Ryan never whole heartedly endorsed a system which killed hundreds of millions in the last century and had atleast a basic understanding of civics. He knew that the pentagon never spent 31Trillion, and knew that legislators don’t get inaugurated or sign laws

Wrong: You both suck

[DrScholl]

Paul Ryan does follow the ideology of Ayn Rand that advocates for no social safety net and heavy privatization which would be quite detrimental to many people. The idea of a Liberatarian utopia is never going to happen.

She's going to make herself insufferable and get primaried in 2020, and it's going to be wonderful.

[ON Progressive]

She is right. Paul Ryan ought to be the laughingstock stock of national politics with his magic asterisk budget and the other awful ideas he tried to promote all these years.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Ezra Klein is annoying. I agree with her based on just that.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Assuming you mean AOC and Paul Ryan, this.

Apparently, you don't know the impact of Randist economics, which killed/still kills millions when it is the polcy of nations.

Ryan was far more coherent than AOC at age 28.

Of course, Ryan was coherent in reasons to trash the safety net, so coherence isn't all it's cracked up to be.

[Mr. Smith]

Of course, Ryan was coherent in reasons to trash the safety net, so coherence isn't all it's cracked up to be.

He really wasn't. Wasn't then. Nor now. He just had that smug, "Very Serious Person" face that was and is unfortunately all too easy to confuse for coherence.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

She's spot on, this thread is proof.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

When you have a culture of corruption backed by big money, it can tend to generate such false narratives. Hopefully that edifice will come tumbling apart and I pray to god one never forms that is willing to do likewise for AoC like it was for Ryan.

The irony of this being posted by a Bolsonaro fan boy...

[Wang]

She’s right to point out the sad truth that a young freshman progressive congresswomen who’s a Woman of color will be roasted by Conservative media and portrayed as a “inexperienced dumb millineal Socialist”, while a young freshmen conservative White male congressman who’s claim to fame is making budgets that don’t add up, will be portrayed by both sides as a “brilliant young policy wonk”. And people don’t think American society is stilll fundamentally racist and sexist, LMAO.
