Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's Question Line at Hearing with Census Bureau Director

[@FlowerClown]

Please ask a Native American if they can trust the word of our government

[@gwynithkeyse8667]

Don't you think the question if your a American Citizen or not be on the census ? It's only Democrats that want voter fraud and that's the reason they don't want it on there

Love her! Fights for us not Billionaires

[@docholiday8029]

@Tom Smith You are being Xenophobic. That used to be me too. In the 70s the Supreme Court legalized bribery. Now Billionaires buy politicians and dictate policy, including a tax code that siphons the hard earned cash of the middle class and poor into their offshore bank accounts. Then they pay media outlets to vilify immigrants, the poor and the disabled. They pit us against each other so that they remain in control and in power. The enemy isn't liberals or conservatives. It is the Oligarchs who have turned our country into a Plutocracy. I grew up strict Republican. I am now independent. I am very aware that there is no difference between corporate Dems and corporate Republicans, with a few exceptions. There is one Republican who refuses legalized bribes, and a couple dozen Dems. A.O.C. is one of those elected officials who refuses to be bought off by Billionaires and their corporations. I don't always agree with her politics but I am wise enough to know that by taking only small dollar donations and no corporate pact money, she is not economically motivated to serve big money. My former Republican friends, for the most part, have yet to awake to the reality that 45 and all but one member of their tribe, is bought and paid for. Team Donor. Billionaire bitches, just like Pelosi, Biden and Moscow Mitch. I admire your passion. I just think you have been brainwashed to misidentify the problem and the solution. The solution is getting money out of politics. When that happens we can make the rich pay their fair share and we can stop fighting over scraps. I hope this helped. I used to be just like you. There is hope. Praying for you now Sincerely Doc

[@docholiday8029]

@Tom Smith Your question contains a false assumption. Immigrants, especially illegal immigrants are far less likely to commit a crime than you or me. Billionaires like the Koch brother, the Walton's and Jeff Bezos bribe Congress to pass tax breaks to give them obscene amounts of money. Their selfish greed directly leads to policies which kill the poor and enslave the middle class. 40,000 people a year die because we have private health care. Wages have been stagnant for decades since bribery became legal. The fact that you are defending the obscene wealth of Mark is proof that Billionaire brainwashing is effective. Billionaires shouldn't exist. After Judgment Day, which will be in my lifetime, they won't exist because Justice will reign on Earth. You see, I happen to think we are on Earth to help each other. That unrestrained capitalism is evil. Jesus and the early Church shared everything in common according to need. That is the ideal. That is the goal. Not manipulating the political system to acquire more wealth than you can spend in a hundred lifetimes. Of course, since I am human, I might be wrong. Maybe greed is the answer.

[@bethknight4436]

I worked for the last Census. Believe me, every person who listed a PO Box as their address was tracked down. You would be surprised at how many people in NYC use PO Boxes for security reasons. The Census mandates in our Constitution that every person be counted. The Dept of Commerce ( who runs the Census) would be violating Federal law if they did not count every single person. They take this responsibility very seriously.

[@floief]

@@bethknight4436 When we didn't get a census form in the mail, like everyone else I knew with an actual mailbox, I called the local number given to me. They said if I had a PO box I was responsible for acquiring the form and returning it because they only mailed to street addresses. :( Out here we have a terrible time keeping mailboxes because bored out of their skulls teens think it's funny to bat them into the next pasture at night.)

[@jazzx251]

@@Drakid13Re3kt ... and the President has shown that you can dismantle the rules (including the Constitution) whenever you like without consequence. She should stand anyway. It's a bullshit rule that is designed to stop amazing young people in the prime of their lives, from doing great things - or even using their sharp mental faculties and, still, cat-like reflexes to slap down a deadly virus before it gets going (for example). New Zealand's Prime Minister has beaten Covid-19 in less than 2 months of it arriving on her shores ... she was elected when she was 37, 39 now. Since then she: 1) popped out a baby while in office and ran the country for 6 weeks while on maternity leave, from her house 2) Dealt with a shocking massacre of 50 people, delivering the speech of her life in front of thousands, and then banning guns within a few weeks 3) Saw off the Corona Virus in a record 2 months, as if it was easy - her reward was taking a 20% paycut according to her own orders You need Alexandria right now - she has the moral fortitude, and youthful desire, determination, and quickness of wit to meet any challenge. The old farts - Trump and Biden - are the worst you could possibly offer out of a population of 350 million people, no less.
