I don't see anything about people being horrible. And, my original comment on the tweet wasn't aimed at anyone. It was about AOCs tweet. Link to comment

To me, the only reason for it is to try to claim the people who are investing are horrible for a) doing it and b) having the ability to do it. So, please explain. She's not attacking the individuals who are participating in the system, she's attacking the system. It's like when you describe how the two party system in America is bad. You're not attacking the individual people who are members of the two parties, you're attacking the system itself. Link to comment

Like Don Quixote, sword fighting windmills. You have a habit of this and it would help if you approached these discussions in a different manner than spinning hyperbole and constructing straw men to attack. What is she saying? Link to comment

This is nothing more than class warfare and it's taking two things that really are no where close to as related as people think and demonizing investors. Link to comment

I agree, and still stick to the slow but steady approach. I think one of the reasons AOC catches such flack is because of a (perceived) "all or nothing" approach Link to comment
teachercd Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 AOC is smart and worded that tweet with care. She knows exactly what she was saying without saying it. BRB cracked the code. It might as well read "If you are investing right now and trying to make a profit, you are just as bad as the Vanderbilts and Carnegies were" 1 Link to comment

But I think she's got some decent ideas. She's still just a congressional n00b. She needs some time to learn how to approach people. 1 Link to comment

I mean...we could just take her tweet and then all of her tweets and literally just accept them word for word. But I don't think that would end well for her. Link to comment

I've asked for an interpretation and haven't received one. Then, you post a video of someone basically saying what I claim AOC is saying. So...if I'm wrong, enlighten me. Link to comment
